You wanna be careful to tell Tripplette just what you want though -
they get weird ideas --
1) Once I ordered some sabre pommels without looking and they sent
me some weird round nuts ...I guess they just fine and dandy
functionaly - but they didn't do it for me aestheticaly at all.
2) The more problematic purchase was when I bought a "schlagger"
blade with epee furniture. Silly me, I assumed they would adjust to
the wider tang by expanding the hole in the bell. Instead, they
ground down the tang.
