Hibben Claymore made in 1972?

[steif]

Hi,
I have an interesting small sword... Well just the grip is 15 1/2 inches from top of gard to top of pommel. Made by gil Hibben and engraved by Shaw-Leibowitz with a date of 10-72. I know the pictures are horrid, but my camera fried before i could get good pictures took, and another is in the works.

The blade is etched, not engraved.

Interesting. I was unaware Gil Hibben ever made swords.

Any chance of getting more pictures and specs?

I AM A HUGE HIBBEN AND SHAW-LEIBOWITZ FAN!!!!!!!! Love to see some better pictures... That is a very unique piece.. Love to hear what Gil has to say about that piece.. I do know Leibowitz worked on MANY MANY PROJECTS.. He even did engravings on no-name makers especially ones in the VA area i believe....

I too have a very odd piece...

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME TO SHAW MORE PICS!! That sword is a must have!!! WOW!!
