Actually there's something I noticed, the Kragehul Bog sword only seems to have one fuller, and the grip looks a bit different from the Albion one, so... I'm guessing that's not an Albion sword. Who makes that one?
How can there be a perfect sword when PEOPLE come in all shapes and sizes too?

That's a nice bevy of Migration Swords Dave. I always had my eye on that center Del Tin, but I never could find a dealer with one in stock.
Aaron,
That is an Albion Sword. It's just an older model of the Kraeghul Bog Sword.

Yes the DT2071, a fine looking sword. I don't think I've ever come across one in stock either.
The DT2070, also shown in Dave's group (2nd hilt from right), was on my wish list for a long time.

Yup, Patrick's right... that's one of the earliest models of Albion's Kraghul Bog sword, with a bone spacer instead of a wood one and an AT blade. As such, it's quite rare....

Nope, it's an ArmArt.

I seem to have been on a TEMPL tangent lately, but have you all looked at his A03 German Sword "spatha" at http://www.templ.net/weapons/antiquity_and_ea...ge.php#A03. Please don't hyperventilate at the price, but consider the beauty of the sword and its furnishings, scabbard included. The whole suite is superb, as it damned well ought to be at the price. But it is the most stunning Migration Era sword that I have ever seen and Patrick assures me that he gets a few commissions for it. Wow! Please also not his beautiful pattern-welded Viking blades and his A13 Anglosaxon(sic) Sword. I would very much like to have any of them. Interestingly, given the very shrt grip on my Roman Riding Sword, A02, of about 3.5" and with had edged pommels and guards wit rivets in them jabbing your hand, I find that the Viking and Anglo-Saxon swords appear to have grips well exceeding 4". Hooray for modern usages.
