 |
|
I'm in the process now of accumulating stock for the Atlanta Blade Show. I had planned on taking an AT1555, a DN1508, an AT1547 and other assorted longswords. An AT1401 and an AT1429 and a couple of other arming swords. At least four of the new falchions, of differing lengths and point configurations........
I've been asked to bring an AT1593, and an AT1433 along. There's still time for me to possibly make sure I bring something that's been requested......
I am planning on bringing between 25 and 30 pieces total...........

Gus,
Regardless what you bring, I think having you there is going to be a great boon to the collecting and WMA communities. It is one the few times one I am aware of when one can really see a variety of wares, and talk to the people responsible for them, all under one roof.
As a novice collector, and as an even more novice practitioner, thank you for coming.
I hope you, Tinker, Albion, Kevin, Vince and all the other exhibitors I am failing to mention are able to continue to attend in the future.

Excellent. Will you bring example(s) of your sabers (e.g., AT1571-73, DN1527, and/or new models)?

I will second Steve on the sabers, plus I would love to see a DN1316 and at least one AT katana.

Hi Joe
I'd hardly consider you a novice...... You used to own a Redeemer, right? I think you'll notice the blade finish is different now......

Hi Darwin
I can't do an AT katana, that's something that really didn't pan out. I can however bring a DN1316........

I like the new falchions. Wouldn't happen to have some more pictures of the falchions, would you?

Bringing this thread back from the brink of oblivion, but I did get to see a newer Borderwatch this weekend. Finish, especially at the ends of the fullers, was much improved over what I've seen in the past. I was and am impressed.
