My dream sword finally arrived yesterday. I've loved the Svante ever since Bjorn posted pictures of Peters copy some years ago. I never thought I'd ever be able to own such a beauty but my dream has become reality. If you have never handled this fine weapon you are in for a special treat. This is truely a unique and incredible sword.

I'll be taking some photos soon so I'll try and post them asap.

My thanks to Peter Johnsson and all the great folks at Albion. This is a Christmas I'll never forget :D

Congratulations Gary, mine is my favorite of all the swords I own!!! It's simply an outstanding piece.

Congrats Gary. I know what an amazing sword the Svante is. I just know you're a very, very happy man right now.

A big congratulations to you, Gary! I look forward to seeing your photos.

Way to go , Gary. That must be quite a sword.

Will be interesting to see what your study group thinks of it.

Thanks guys...

As soon as the wife has time she will break out her really nice digital camera and get some centerfolds :lol:
