 Wow that looks great David! Thank you very much for posting pictures of this work of art. Even though this is earlier then my main time frame one day I would love to own a sword from this era. I do not suppose you could post the stats for it could you?

This is a great looking sword!!! I would have liked to see some good pics of the blade since I and a few others have been discussing pattern welded blades. I can see why this blade took first place in 2005 show. Thanks for posting David, now lets have some more pictures.
I hate to discuss prices but I bet this sword is in the $3,000 to $4,000 range? More?
