Love this sword it has been one of my favorites since I first laid eyes on it. Its definitely one of those Sean, don't you think? Several years ago a fellow who liked this type comissioned one from us. It took quite a whiole to get right and I had some issues but it turned out quite nicely in the end. I have stats but I do not have them to hand,anyone that has the first issue of The
Oakeshott Journal they are in there with pics.
Here are some pics of the finished replica
Blued as finished for customer.

It is a significant weapon in the hand and one that would do Mr Silver quite proud I think.
