I was very interested in getting either the 75 inch lowander *or* the Wallace sword... I flip-flopped a bit and thought that ultimately, the furniture on the Wallace sword looked nicer... If you could only have one or the other, which would you chose?
In any case, I haven't heard back from Thomas in a few weeks. I am not certain if I will be going forward with these two commissions. I am still awaiting a reply from Thomas from my various concerns. I put a deposit down so I would hope we can work something out. There about a couple concerns that I will defer from talking about until I see where we stand and if we can work something out. |

I have no concern about ferrules. He states that Ferrules are neccessary to exact the proper pressure on the tang and that anyone who doesn't use them doesn't know what they are doing. That is at least the quote I got from a cell phone mesage a while back...
