Sometimes there's just no better sound than a UPS truck rolling up the driveway. :D

My Viceroy arrived most unexpectedly today and I was very pleased upon opening the familiar white box. I must say, pictures just don't give this sword justice. From every angle I discover more and more unique details. There is so much going on between the blade and hilt components but yet they all flow together as one. The Viceroy is not only graceful and refined in appearance but exibits a great sense of power in handling. One thing is for sure, I'm really amazed at the agility of this weapon and how it feels as though it was designed just for me. This is undoubtably the finest reproduction sword I have ever handled and now resides at the top of my list of favorites.

My deepest thanks go's out to Peter Johnnson and all the great and talented folks at Albion Armorers. You have amazed me once again :D

With any luck I'll get some pictures up soon.

You lucky so-and-so.

Gongrats Gary,

This one and the Regent are my two favorites of Albion's next Gen line. By amazing coincidence, they are the exact two swords that I am having one hell of a time choosing between. By an even stranger coincidence, they are also two of the most expensive swords in the lineup, but they look like they are worth every friggin penny of it.

Enjoy the hell out of that new sword Gary, I would be if I were you ;)

Mine remains in the cruel clutches of UPS. Soon...

And I'll be getting one if/when I can afford it! Very attractive sword. I can't wait to handle it.

Congrats Gary.

This is one of the ones that I've eagerly awaited. I'm definetly looking forward to getting my hands on one. As with the Regent the Viceroy is later in period than I normally go for but I love the aesthetics and the detail work on both.

Very nice.

Pictures?

Congrats on your new sword!!!!!!! After being at Albion as part of the team for only 3 weeks i feel very fortunate to be here making swords of such high quality. Everyone at Albion takes great pride in their work with every piece and process that goes into making them. I am also very lucky to have gotten here just as the Viceroy made its way out the door to you. I have handled every sword in the shop and they are by far incredible pieces of art and history. The Viceroy is my favorite of them all to date, it handles like a dream and is stunning to say the least. When you say that the pictures dont do them Justice I agree wholeheartedly because i didnt fully get it until i was able to see them in person. Enjoy your new Viceroy i hope to be getting one sometime as well.


Regards,
John

Congratulations on the new, fine sword in your collection...

I've always wanted a Peter Johnnson/Albion Armorers sword yet my fancy for Khukuri's at the moment has got the better of me...one day, just not yet lol. I am however hoping that Albion are still working on releasing another small skeggox, that was my fav albion piece that got pulled due to construction faults or something (Mike mentioned to me of someone working on a new model design thats historically accurate).

...albion never ceases to amaze me. :)
