I've always loved XIIIa's, particularly multi-fullered examples; but that simply makes me turn green.

Good or Bad depends entirely on the weight of wallet in such matters :D . the 1326 was always my favorite of theirs, but I'm 6'4 with a preference for long hand-and-a-half swords, and the 1326 was always a little short for my preferences. This new piece is basically what I've been pining for since I started collecting wallhangers back in High School; however the promise of a new XVIa does please the pallet.

Nice looking package, but something about the peen end is a bit off-looking to me. Is that a nut assembly, raised peen-block, or...? Maybe it's just the photo, or just me. :eek: ...........McM

So what happened with this sword? Has it sold? Did it ever officially go on sale? I've been over to the Torion website, but haven't seen it there.
