Weapon Disambiguation

From Ancient Anguish Mud Wiki - AAwiki

Some weapons may appear identical in shop listings although they are not identical in difficulty rating, damage, parry, etc. Prices vary, but you can also differentiate them by 'trying' the weapon to examine it in more detail before you buy it.

Unfortunately, the way shops currently operate, such items will group together as though they are the same item (i.e., "3 A broad sword...1616" even if it is actually three different broad swords that sell for three different prices).
