Okay, I finally broke down and took advantage of the Albion "This Economy Still Sucks Sale". I opted for the Prince. This is one that I have admired since the original drawings, and I'm glad I finally took the plunge. I went for a very dark, navy blue grip (sorry, it looks almost black in the photos). What a quick and lively sword! Thanks to everyone at Albion for the new addition to my sword "family"! My full series is available in my album, but here's something to whet your appetite!

They are square, which is a nice touch. The pommel is actually made of bronze, which is stronger than brass. According to what I've been told, some bronze alloys can be as strong as some mild steels.
