 |
|
|
I ordered a Vigil with a campaign worn, light brown grip. I'm still a little on the fence with the color choice given the fact that good pictures of the Vigil with a campaign worn grip seem to be hard to find on the internet. So, if anyone has a pic or two that they wouldn't mind sharing that'll help me with the decision to either stay with my original choice or to change colors? Thanks in advance.

I saw those, they're just not the greatest photos.

I've owned an Albion sword with that color grip. Those pictures show it pretty well.

I'm not a fan of the standard 'spiral' grip they use on the Vigil. You might consider spending a bit more for the Chevalier style grip. You can choose which underwrap and ovewrap color you like. Here's mine before it shipped from KoH:

That's definitely an idea I've been tossing around in my head. Thanks!

The campaign worn color is going to vary a bit. More so than the more solid darker colors they offer. When I ordered my Senlac in this grip a few years back I asked it be on the lighter side like the Bayeux pics and was told there is no way to match a specific tone they may have in those pics, maybe close but its def going to vary. Good luck. BTW I think their campaign worn is my favorite color they offer. Really looks good on earlier swords IMO

Here is a Sovereign that I bought a long time ago with a campaign grip.
