My last purchase (and probably for a loooooong time). Please oh Lord let her arrive to my house safe and sound (knock on wood).
I hope you don't mind Mac, but I plan to rehilt her with a nice wooden handle. Nothing outlandish, but something with a rich, chestnut brown, mildy active grain.
Try not to take yourself too seriously.

Last sword I bought was a slightly modified A&A GBS.
Last one I ordered was a A&A custom piece but the bill has not yet come due. It was inspired by a scetch created by Peter Johnsson of a musuem piece (Thanks Peter!). Thanks Mac for posting them:-)! I gave Craig an assortment of possibilities I liked and asked him to make one he thought would be fun to do. Took some time for Craig to choose and for him to get the OK from Peter, but I suspect work will start on it before too long.
It will be my first fully custom sword.

My last one was actually two, a customized A&A XVIIIe blade and an Al Massey XVIIIe blade. Of course it isn't really the last one but the next one is it? I've got three on order two of which should be here pretty soon.

My most recent additions are a pair from the folks at Albion last week.
First, an Albion Agincourt (type XVa) with red handle and fire blued hilt and the second a Del Tin Antiche ADT5156.
They make a fine addition hanging in my office here at work.

Hey Gary, that Agincourt looks fantastic! I really think the blue came out well on that one!

Gary,
Is that the stock guard on the Agincourt? If so, they've added a cusp (ecusson?) to the guard. It looks great. Do you have any close-ups of the hilt?
Thanks!

Many, if not most, of the Albion Mark pieces were quietly updated over the last couple months, creating a more historically accurate piece. Often times, it's the addition (or lack) of these details that makes all the difference.

Yeah Chad it's the stock crossguard. I was a bit suprised as well.
Actually, what suprised me the most was the fire-blue hilt. I was expceting something like what I had seen on the Albion website or like Nathan's Crecy http://www.myArmoury.com/swor_alb_crec.html?7. But this is a very opalescent color. Inside it loks like a glossy black with a hint of blue that just does not photograph. Outdoors however in the sun it looks more like the photograph.
Here is the only close up I have of the hilt right now.

My instructor has one of those. First real sword I ever used. Real nice weapon, solid and rather imposing.
My last sword was purchased from our good friends at Lutel (15010). It is in transit, but I can hardly wait for it to show up! I would put up a pic, but the best one I have seen is right here, on this very website...

Thanks! I like it. It is a fairly compact 'big' sword, definitely designed for armoured combat.

This came yesterday evening via those nice guys in the brown trucks.
MRL #1-308 - 45.5" - 3 lbs.
Other than the one size fits all approach taken with the scabbard design and the elegant "Made in India" stamp courtesy of Windlass, I'm really liking this replica and feel thus far that I have had the pleasure of receiving optimal bang for my limited buck. It's light. It's fast. It's well balanced. Woot!!

Jeff,
Any more piccies of that sword, Im having one of then custom built for me (mainly because the pommell on the repros is to crisp and nothing resembling the origional). It would be great and muchly appriciated if You could take a shot of the blade profile.
Cheers
