I am sure someone from Albion will chime in, but yes they did/do have a retailer program where you have to buy x# of swords. I almost had my old workplace set up before the boss decided to go with cheep crap. I have since disassociated myself from there. :D

They have a couple over at www.kultofathena.com . Same price on Albions, but the rest of their items are discounted . Nice people, good customer service, and good prices. They carry lots of MRL, CASI, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Lets not forget Christian Fletcher.

Last time I looked www.viking-shield.com was carrying some of the Viking age weapons, as well...

ya i didnt think of fletcher or viking shield.

sorry. i just saw the swords on a lesser site for sometimes a tad cheaper than albion themselves. got a little worried they stole pics and werent selling what they were advertising.

There are a few 1st Gen swords like the Migration and Stamford swords over at Ancient Edge. http://www.ancientedge.com/subcategory_7.html

Hey guys~

We do have a few retailers around the net. Ancient Edge is no longer carrying our stuff but there are others out there. :) If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email if you want.

Hi,

I really don't see why I should seek another seller than Albion for their own products. Mike is a wonderful contact person and I've always received a five-stars service when dealing with Albion directly. I only see one exception to this : if I wanted an Albion sword and could not wait 2 years for an historical scabbard made by Kevin Iseli, then I would maybe order it from Christian Fletcher. But that's a personnal feeling.

Cheers,

David

Or have the sword shipped directly from Albion to a " trusted " scabbard maker who will then forward both to you after the scabbard is finished.

You're right, Jean. Too bad I didn't knew that when I bought my Laird a few months ago : now I'm waiting for someone to send his Laird to Russ Ellis , so he could make a scabbard for me.

Here ya go for Albion Swords http://kultofathena.com/albion.htm

25 miles from my house, just discovered the place from a post in here. They do indeed have in stock the Albion swords they have listed. I handled every one of those magnificent swords!
