Really? 130 quid doesn't seem bad at all for the helm and shipping. In fact, that's like what, $225? That's cheaper than a lot of people in America will pay I imagine, unless they know where to shop like I do ;)
It may take a little bit longer to get to you, but you got a bloody good deal there, my friend :)

I found this Witch King dagger replica, the fittings seem not too bad, but the blade is ridiculously too large...:lol_blue:

Yeah, usually they do better on the fittings than anything else.... Aside from being too large, the blade is also missing the double fullers.
But, overall, it's not a bad job, especially since the item doesn't have any competition from UC or TNC, etc.
The price seems slightly higher than I'd e xp ect from a fake dagger. I see they have a fake Gúthwinë on that site, too.

Here are some pics of a knock-off Glamdring I bought for 30 bucks. It's so clunky and heavy... the blade isn't even symmetrical! When I bought this I was fully aware that it would be a low quality item but I figured... what the heck. For 30 dollars I'd have a sword and scabbard that I could fool around with and not care about damaging it in the least. Despite its obvious shortcomings it has a sturdy and solid feel. I took a few snapshots of a side by side comparison with UC's Glamdring and the differences are quite glaring.
