Nice lines.
this is the one sword that I have been waiting so long for as it fits my period exactly. I have to say that this was well worth thte wait. I guess I know what sword I'm buying soon :cool:

I agree about the waisted look on the grip-just stellar. wow just everything about this sword makes me want to buy it.

thank you for producing (yet again) another beautiful sword.

Aaron
Nice ! I'm sure this one handles great. :)
Feeling smug, dancing for joy and singing a little Stevie Wonder, "Isn't she lovely, Isn't she wonderful!"

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. I've been feeling blue, but that changed dramatically a few minutes ago. Mine is being shipped today, :cool: :cool: :cool:

Mike, Aaron, Howy and all the rest at Albion, you know I love y'all! :-*
That's a beautiful piece. I've been waiting to see what this one looks like.

Speaking of XVas, any word on the Ringeck?

Very very nice. :D :cool: Let us know more when you get it. ;) Happy for you. :D

As usual this one looks even better than the concept drawings and that is saying a lot since Peter's drawings are good drawings !
The new Fiore does have a simple elegance about it. I like it!

Congratulations, Pamela!
Now that's one fine looking sword. I agree that the waisted grip adds something really special. I'm especially loving this style grip since I got my Meyer :D
I've been anxious to see this one for several weeks now. Almost ordered one a few times. Very nice piece!!

That is something I really wanted to hear. :)
The fiore looks nice, though ( How could an XVa by Albion look bad? ;) )

Me too... :)
Yes, it looks lovely, but I'm holding out for the Ringeck too. That, and the need to sell some things to afford a new sword.
As-is, I still think the Talhoffer is the best hilt setup for this blade, with its stark, linear lines.

Still, this is a beautiful sword, and I would really enjoy seeing this hilt set-up on any future XVIIIa's and XVIIIc's... *hint, hint*
