 |
|
This was a "secret" project of Peter's - a Type XIV that is a little fancier than the Sherriff, but not as fancy as the Sovereign. The sword shares the blade of the Sherriff but with all new hilt components.

Now I can't decide which one I want more, the Sherriff or the Yeoman.

That looks really nice. Not enought to make me regret my Sherriff, but still a very lovely sword.
Another nice job.

Very nice, Howie. I really like the flaring ends of the cross.

Well that just leaves 22 sword models that they have announced but not put into production left to go. :-)
I'm waiting for the Kingmaker, that one looks really sweet!
Still waiting for my Munich...

That's a pretty nice surpise! In addition, I didn't know anything about the yeomen, and it's very instuctive.
Thanks to Albion and Peter Johnsson !
Cheers,
David

Wow, I like that! It's like a more 'sophisticated' version of the Sheriff. I just might have to add the Yeoman to my wish list!
I sure would like to see that Munich... or the Kern... :D

Very cool! Nice to see a surprise sword from Albion! How 'bout some other surprises Peter....? Maybe a type 10a or 11? Or even a 12, pretty common blade type but not a lot of hilt options from Albion.
