For Sale: Albion/Angus Trim Type XII with 12th c. scabbard
This listing has been REMOVED and is no longer active


This is an Angus Trim Type XII blade mounted to an Albion hilt from several years ago. The hilt fittings are all hand forged. It comes with a wonderful scabbard with a 12c belt suspension made by Eric McHugh.

The scabbard has some scrapes on it because its been worn, and the blade has seen a lot of cutting, so has minor discoloration on it. Nothing serious. Otherwise its in very good condition, and is one tough little beastie.

Overall length: 38.5"
Weight: 2.5 pounds
Width of guard: 8"
Blade: 31" long; 1.75", tapering to .75"
Grip length: 5"
Point of Balance (PoB): 5.25" from guard
Center of Percussion (CoP): ~17.75" from guard

I've owned this sword for about a decade now, and have always loved it, even though it falls a little early for my primary focus of time period. There've been several times that I thought to sell it because its earlier than my interests run, but then I handle it and change my mind. Well, I have newer toys I want to finance, so I'm finally looking to let this one go. More pictures and details can be found in my collection gallery:

Edit: Price drop. Asking $575. This includes shipping to the continental US. Those outside of the US would have to pay for shipping themselves.

This is an excellent price, considering the sword is one of a kind and comes with such a nice scabbard. I was tempted to ask for more, but because the scabbard has some scuffs, I'll let it go cheaper than the price of a typical Albion single handed sword that doesn't come with a scabbard.

Price drop. Now asking $725 for both sword and scabbard. I've edited the original post to reflect this.

Still available.

Bumping this beauty up, and lowering the price to $700. That's quite a deal for both sword and scabbard.

Bumping this back up with a new price drop. $650, shipped within the continental US.

This is seriously a very nice sword. It not only feels great, but its incredibly tough.

I've had a lot of trade offers, but ultimately I'd prefer money for some other sword projects I want to fund. Still, it doesn't hurt to make me an offer (trade or cash).

Since everyone seems out of cash, I'm lowering the price. $625, shipped within the continental US.

Trying to pay for new sword projects. How about $600, shipped to the continental US? That's quite a deal for a sword this nice, *plus* a scabbard this nice.

I'm putting this back on the market. Asking $575. Trust me when I say the scabbard alone is worth far more than this.

I'm marking this sword as "REMOVED" now. I've had a number of bites, but most people want to buy this for less than I'm willing to sell it for, and truth be told, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really want to sell it. It's a sweet sword.

Thanks for the offers, everyone.
