That's a very attractive sword and scabbard. I like the scabbard chape - its shape a reflection of the pommel.. At 2 lbs. with whatever distal taper that Gus Trim designed in, it should be very light and fast. I wonder how much it costs?
There have been a number of recreated variations of this sword, Oakeshott, Records -- XVIII.4
Del Tin DT5150
Armart S32
Arma Bohemia EP48
Albion Burgundian
Arms and Armor Lord of Milan (sadly discontinued)
and I'm sure there are some others
With a real ATrim blade, whatever else one might think of it, I bet it is the fastest of the bunch, and the best pure cutter.

Very nice looking sword
