In my opinion, this is one of the finest production swords available on the market today. By all accounts, it has the quality and appearance of a completely custom sword. Fact is, the fit, finish, and level of research that went into this sword all exceed most custom swords on the market. I hate to sell this, but I need to pay some bills and the fact that I can re-buy this model at a future date puts this on the chopping block before many of my custom items.

We have a Hands-on Review of this sword. You can also read what Albion says about their sword or read what I have to say:

The Regent (Oakeshott Type XVIIIb)
Germanic — Mid to Late 15th Century

This sword has a blade typically classified as an Oakeshott Type XVIIIb, featuring a wide profile suitable for cutting while having an extremely acute point for the thrust. The grip, black leather wrapped over finely wrapped cord, is hexagonal in cross-section with a waisted area mid-way through its length.

The pommel is an Oakeshott Type V, or fishtail variant, and the cross-guard has an octagonal cross-section with flared ends and incised decorative lines.

One distinctive feature of this sword is the hollow-ground blade, making for an extremely thick mid-ridge. This produces a stiff spine throughout the blade's length, keeping the sword light and much more responsive than one might expect for a sword of this size.

Overall length: 48"
Weight: 3.5 pounds
Width of guard: 9.625"
Blade: 37" long; 2" wide tapering to .5"
Grip and pommel: 10.375"
Point of Balance (PoB): 5.25" from guard
Center of Percussion (CoP): ~23" from guard


Excellent condition. As-new. Never used for cutting. Only used in "dry handling". The retail price on this item is $950 from the maker.

ASKING PRICE: $815 shipped UPS CONUS

I prefer PayPal. Add 3% mark-up to offset PayPal fee.

Hi Nathan,

I received the Regent. I have been out of town the past week, so it came in while I was gone. It is an awesome sword. Thanks again for your prompt delivery.

Great doing business with you.

Take care,

John Burley
