This is not a sword to be overlooked. I got mine yesterday. The octagonal pommel, and the cross guard are really a work of art. The deep fuller is well executed. The sword is just beautiful, but better than that it balances beautifully. It really wants to cut. I am going to figure out how to post some pics, but this sword is another winner from Craig and his team at A&A.

I agree, I think it is often overlooked, but it's another great piece from A&A!

Russ,

I hope you can make me a scabbard. This one is worth the investment. If you have pics of one I would love to see them.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm not Russ, but why don't you try his website? (Link is also in the signature line in Russ' post.)

I have wielded the Arms & Armor 12th Century Sword several times, last summer each time I went to the faire. 2007 was the year of polearms, I bought two major polearms which amounted to $900.00, a custom Sparth Axe and a
Bec De Corbin both from Arms & Armor. So I had to pass on the 12th Century Sword this past summer and I wanted to buy it so bad that it hurt to pass on it, but this was my last opportunity to get the Bec De Corbin, because this model will never be made again per Christopher Poor (Owner A&A).
The 12th Century Sword has a beautiful feel to it, lot's of blade presence, you can feel by it's balance and the blade geometry that this sword is meant to cut and in any configuration of a cutting strike it is most graceful, while being both powerful and fast!
Yes, this sword is very much over looked in my opinion, as is the English Longsword Exclamation

Sincerely,

Bob
