Albion Armorers Next Generation Regent Sword

In my opinion, this is one of the finest production swords available on the market today. By all accounts, it has the quality and appearance of a completely custom sword. Fact is, the fit, finish, and level of research that went into this sword all exceed most custom swords on the market. I hate to sell this, but I need to pay some bills and the fact that I can re-buy this model at a future date puts this on the chopping block before many of my custom items.

We have a Hands-on Review of this sword. You can also read what Albion says about their sword or read what I have to say:

The Regent (Oakeshott Type XVIIIb)
Germanic — Mid to Late 15th Century

This sword has a blade typically classified as an Oakeshott Type XVIIIb, featuring a wide profile suitable for cutting while having an extremely acute point for the thrust. The grip, black leather wrapped over finely wrapped cord, is hexagonal in cross-section with a waisted area mid-way through its length.

The pommel is an Oakeshott Type V, or fishtail variant, and the cross-guard has an octagonal cross-section with flared ends and incised decorative lines.

One distinctive feature of this sword is the hollow-ground blade, making for an extremely thick mid-ridge. This produces a stiff spine throughout the blade's length, keeping the sword light and much more responsive than one might expect for a sword of this size.

Overall length: 48"
Weight: 3.5 pounds
Width of guard: 9.625"
Blade: 37" long; 2" wide tapering to .5"
Grip and pommel: 10.375"
Point of Balance (PoB): 5.25" from guard
Center of Percussion (CoP): ~23" from guard

Excellent condition. As-new. Never used for cutting. Only used in "dry handling". The retail price on this item is $950 from the maker.

ASKING PRICE: $815 shipped UPS CONUS

I prefer PayPal. Add 3% mark-up to offset PayPal fee.

Hi Nathan,

I received the Regent. I have been out of town the past week, so it came in while I was gone. It is an awesome sword. Thanks again for your prompt delivery.

Great doing business with you.

Take care,

John Burley
