France Lame

[LeftHanded]

I don't think I spelt it right sorry. Anyways, I am looking at getting one of these, mostly just as a practice blade and a competition spare. I am getting it for under $20. I have looked at it and it is in like new condition. Any opinions?

Foil? Epee? Saber? Lame? Bell guard?

My bad, Epee blade. Sorry don't know the batch or anything like that

[DangerMouse]

Dry or electric? FIE or no? I have a couple of their old FIE blades left lying around and I love them, but they're not very durable. The dry blades are really nice and I have a couple of those too. The non-FIE epee blades break pretty quickly, but that's the case with most non-FIE blades.

And if it's an epee blade and the shield says "FIE+N" it's a fake FIE...

Which I'd love to buy.

Non-FIE I am pretty sure. I am getting it to be getting it for 15 bucks with a grip and german wire and tip. So I can't loose I guess. so it really isn't great?

[LeftHanded]

I was looking at it yesterday and the bend in it is definatly not even and all focus to the tip. So there is definatly a soft spot there. I don't think I will get it

What do you want for $15?

[Pescados666]

If it's $15, then $10 for grip, $3 for point, and whatever for guard, nut, and socket. Seems worth it still.
