Are any anons very familiar with the differences between the classic Lego swords? I have noticed that there appear to be two different versions of the part #2530 Cutlass, one with shiny stiff plastic and one with matte duller gray plastic. Pic related. This is just like the classic Shortsword part #3847. However while bricklink lists the Shortsword as two different listings:
Part 3847 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Shortsword
Part 3847a Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Shortsword - Polished Rigid ABS
Bricklink does NOT list the cutlass separately. These pirates in this set need 9 of these cutlasses and I don't want to buy one on bricklink without verifying it is the "rigid ABS" version first. Any suggestions? I guess I just message the seller before buying?
