It looks like CF has made a major update to his website.
You can now view all the pics of both ATrims and Albion swords.
On the ATrim side, you get to see what a Northern Italian Longsword looks like with a Type 10 cross. The Phat Bastard with the carved green grip is also very lovely. Most of the other ATrims are as they were as of the previous update.
On the Albion side, you get to see a few lovely upgrades, starting with a beautiful scabbard with knotwork engraved on the throat for the Vinland. Next up is a Sovereign with a distressed brown grip and blackened hilt fittings. Even sweeter is an Albion Squire with blackened fittings, green grip, and a matching scabbard!
Getting into the Albion longswords, you can find a Duke with a black leather grip and a very elegant matching scabbard, a set-up that screams "Teuton!" 
There are two pics of customized Regents. One is black with a matching scabbard, the other is a lovely aqua blue with a matching scabbard.
But the one that really took my breath away was a customized Landgraf with CF's "Gothic" leather-and-wire grip. Everything about it, from the shape and profile of the grip, to its two-tone color scheme, works beautifully with this sword. I'd even go so far as to say that it is one of the most beautiful longsword reproductions I have ever seen!
If you haven't checked out his website, go to www.christianfletcher.com
Oh, and one more thing...
WILL THE OWNERS OF THESE EXQUISITE CUSTOM SWORDS PLEEEEEASE POST MORE PICS FOR US TO OGLE!!!!!

CF's site now contains most of the ATrims that were at All Saints.
Also, check out the picture of the Albion Sovereign with the blackened furniture.

Those are some nice looking swords. That blue regent looked familiar and after a short search I found this thread with some more pictures. GGAAAAA! This is not helping my spending discipline at all  .
Cheers,
