Well, I've finally got a web page up for my A&A German Branch Sword and the matching scabbard made by Tritonworks: http://latakia.dyndns.org/~ruhl/branch-sword/.

I'm really happy with how this piece turned out. Both sword and scabbard are absolutely wonderful: A&A and Russ did wonderful work. I'd gladly suggest either to anyone, and will be ordering from both many times in the future. I'd say more, but the web page says it all.

If Craig or Russ would like to comment on either piece, please feel free to do so.

Very nice, Bob !

I've always like that sword, and the scabbard looks great with it !

Congratulations, Mac

I've always been a big fan of the original riding sword on which that's based. A&A's replica is awesome. I've only seen an older version of A&A's, and I thought it was spectacular. Craig has told me that it's been updated since then, and I can tell that the newer models include the spacer on the grip like the original. That's a great combination you have there, man. Very nice piece.

Very impressive, Bob. Congratulations on your new toy. It is very visually appealing - both the sword and the scabbard.

I note on your website your statement "My one disappointment is that the pommel screws on, but there is a full tang inside the grip...." Please confirm the pommel is just screwed on, not peened?

At the risk of turning this into a mutual admiration society, Bob was a very nice customer to work with as well. I got delayed for a fairly long period of time waiting for the buckles and the metal hooks and loops on his rig to show up. Bob was completely understanding and very patient.

In other notes the German Branch Sword is a nice little piece and well worth Arms and Armor's price!

The original sword was peened. Here's a picture of the antique from Björn's site.
