I don't have any stats, but wow.. what a beauty!
Gosh - that is pretty.
Is that yours Nathan, or is it for sale, or done for someone else?
How do you find this stuff?
Nice.

That is mighty purty. I wonder about the durability of the mesh network on the guard bell, but I imagine it is stronger than it looks.
Beautiful work! Thanks for posting Nathan. Let the drooling begin...

That is nice....still have a soft spot for the Armour Class Pap (blackened hilt version)though.

I've fenced with pappenheimer styled swords like this, and the mesh on the ones I've used (all Darkwood Armory) have been quite strong. The design itself is plenty sturdy, provided it's made correctly.
It is very pretty.

You know, for the the amount of detail that he puts in into his pieces, I'm amazed at how low he sets his prices. That's one nice pappenheimer!
This is one of my favorites.

Wow, both are gorgeous. I love the way the repro is elegant without being ostentatious.
