Alex,

No problem buddy, I'd be inconsolable if it was my sword.
One more thought, it might be an idea to include an email address so that lurkers and non registered users can contact you. Alternatively, I've used mine on copying this to other forums so anyone can contact me at: gimmieitbaby@aol.com and I'll forward their details directly to you.
Spread the word folks!

My condolences. If I see it on eBay I'll post here.

What are the details? How did it go missing? Was it going overseas? Do you have the tracking info?

Regretfully, in cases like this there will be no details until the item is found (this is the reason I posted it here). the tracking info will only reveal it left point A and did not reach point B.

I've been mailing and receiving swords for years, not a single one went missing or was damaged by the USPS. Last year I had a sword go missing for 3 months, en route from the US to Australia. One telephone call to the USPS solved the problem. They initiated a claim and located the sword, which was stuck in Australian Customs.

Dmitri, we've done the same and more, including the claim. No further information was found by USPS. My best advice is: insure high value items and avoid sending during holiday season.
