I picked up these pieces with the intent of building my own sword, but as I'm getting ready to move I have to whiddle down some of my "project inventory." The blade was picked up from an Albion moat sale, first gen spatha. The edges have a secondary bevel and the blade is not heat-treated.
The fittings came from mercia sveiter. The casting quality is a bit rough, and one side of the pommel is pretty gnarly. Still, I really like the unusual pommel shape and the casting flaws really didn't bother me.
Blade: $40 shipped
Fittings: $40 shipped
Buy both the blade and the fittings and I'll knock off ten bucks, so you get the whole package shipped for $70.

I realize now that this person might not be checking this old post. does anyone know his/her real name? and if they have facebook. I already sent a PM.
