Wow, Oliver, at first look I thought your sword was an original one! Good work!
I recently received Albion's Prince. I requested a blue leather wrap which provides a nice contrast to the bronze pommel.
The Prince is properly named. It is well built, is an incredible feeling weapon, and a sight to behold as well.

I'll second that on the Prince. I received mine last week. No chance for pics yet but it may be my favorite single handed sword to date.

Indeed Mr. Winter, it's difficult to keep my guests hands off it.

I bought this Donnie Shearer-made Beak Nosed Ribbon hilt backsword from a fellow forumite. It is antiqued and looks great. The blade is marked with the running wolf trademark. Very impressive work and looks like a genuine antique. It also feels great in the hand.

Nice one Mr. Hargis! If that is your sword pictured- very striking!

I don't remember seeing this one for sale in the marketplace, I might have sold a few body organs to get it if I have seen it. ;)

Mr. Krause:
Thank you. The blue wrapped Prince image is from Albion's site and is the same as mine, so I took the easy path. It's nice to know what you are going to get from a maker. The other images are from Albion as well.
Cheers, Jon

I've always liked the Prince, and the Squire as well- such classic designs.
My latest acquisition is a Schiavonesca built on a Valiant-Armoury VA/Trim practical longsword blade, with fittings by Ernie at Yeshua's Sword (http://www.yeshuas-sword.com/), handle & wrap by me:
Michel - really like how this sword came out. I have been thinking of adding one to my collection for awhile.
Albion Vassal. Ebay purchase I couldn't pass up. Limited manufacture of 100? Gotta have it.

That schiavonesca sword is fantastic! Lovely proportions, finish, etc. Great to know about that part supplier as well!
William and Sean: thank you for your kind words, for your appreciation, I am very glad you like it. Being a project I researched, elaborated and assembled myself, it means a lot.
Sean: happy to have shared Yeshua's Sword with you. I would not hesitate to recommend him, he is talented, dedicated and passionate about what he does. It was great to work with him.

I have this inbound from Christian Fletcher. Should be in my hands some time next week :D
Just arrived: A&A Milanese Rapier and en-suite dagger! From the marketplace here. Better photos later, but for now it's useful to see these in-hand and together--something you won't find anywhere else online, as far as I can tell.

That is a truly amazing looking sword Matt. Christian's work on the hilt is great as usual. I also think the blade looks good as well. Who made the blade? What are the stats on the sword as a whole? I look forward to hearing a review.
Matt Corbin,
What a staggering piece! As gorgeous as they get.
I'm with Scott Kowalski here, do you have some numbers for us? Will a proper scabbard be forthcoming?
Thanks, Jon
