Original Busse American Kensei Sword AKA The Hades Hornet

[Claehill]

One of a kind Original Busse American Kensei Sword - Custom Shop wrapped to match the Pure Bred Fighters/Killer Bees and named the Hades Hornet.

16 Inches to Turks Head Knot & 25 Inches overall.

1/4 Inch thick A2 Steel.

Black Coated with Factory Yellow & Black Japanese Wrapped Handles.

This truly is a one of a kind.

Quite a few pictures and descriptions of this floating around. One on Bad Mojo quotes it as being INFI but it's A2, all American Kensei's are. There's a flat spot in the coating visible in my photo's as well as on Bad Mojo. I'm not sure if it was always there or if it was re-coated when it was sent in to be wrapped and it happened then. The wrapping was done 10 years ago, so don't think the original owner will know that either. There's also a tiny, tiny nick in the edge, magnified in one the photo's.

Usual first "I'LL TAKE IT" Followed by Email or PM.

Shipping within the CONUS is INCLUDED in the price. It will go out USPS Priority with full Insurance and Delivery Confirmation.

USPS Money Order PREFERRED - AND CHEAPER FOR BUYER but I'll accept Pay Pal plus fees, can't take gift. The cost for both options shown below.

I'm willing to sell and ship this to members overseas but only to certain country's at my discretion. The Pay Pal amount will be slightly higher as Pay Pal charges higher fees for cross border transactions. Shipping will also be extra.

I'M NOT ACCEPTING TRADES ON THIS, THANKS.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for looking.

PRICE : $1,600.00. (MO). $1,650.00. (PP).

Thanks old mate :thumbup: Didn't want to involve you ........ But now the cat or should I say "The Skunk" is out of the bag. I can officially say that it was originally conceived and "Celebrity Busse" owned by the one ...... wait for it ........ wait for it .......... and only "SKUNK".

Interesting that Wally Hayes wrapped it. I always thought they had a wrapping machine in janitors closet. Makes it even harder to sell now I know that. I still have a few Hayes swords and this is a tad longer than any of them.

I'm selling off this and the PBF set to stock my safe again with a couple of new 308's and some glass. The Sword and the fighters really make a excellent set for the ultimate Busse collector. A real piece of Busse history. I'm trying to find the funds without having to sell these, so I doubt I will be lowering the price on this or the PBF's. But have been thinking because of the state of most of our finances etc .... That certainly if we've dealt before or your known for the "RIGHT" reason's ..... I could probably take some sort of time payment via USPS MO. I wouldn't want it to drag on too long ....... but thought it worth mentioning.

Thanks again for the info Skunk :thumbup:
