Armae has really nice quality though, and it is rather cheap compared to most other stores. I have seen some of their swords and they did look really nice.
I do not think that the drilling the hole thing is too much trouble, it should be done in less than a minute with the proper tools, Shouldn't cost more than 10 euros if you do not want to drill it yourself.
In other news, my parents gifted me this thing:
It is supposed to be a realistic "Pirate Flintlock Pistol" from the 1800s. (It is obviously a replica with an Iron Flintstone) It is so horrible... Without all that engravings it might actually be good, but this is just ridiculous.
