Hi there,

I am new to swords and have no idea where to start.

Having researched a few sites Albion appears to crop up very frequently and reviews appear very positive.

I am considering a Mercenary from Albion as it is within a more modest price bracket for me right now, what advice do you have in regard to this ?



Many thanks


Ian

that sword is a good place to start, good plice and great quality. well worth every penny

The Mercenary is one of the better values in Albion's lineup (the Crecy is another). I found it to be a very handy sword, one-handed or two. I only sold mine because I had had the chance to buy a Sempach, which fits my collecting tastes better (I generally prefer 12th-14th century stuff, with occasional 15th c. thrown in).
