Reminds me of the Crecy (NG Albion), only single-handed. Pretty big for a single-hander in my opinion (this is not criticism). The fuller looks pretty deep. Looks great; and I'm sure Russ will make a nice scabbard for it!

I'm really happy to see that people seem to like this piece, and I certainly appreciate the compliments. I was a little hesitant about seeing it posted on this forum, since I'm not well known for doing historic pieces, but I'm glad that my concerns were unfounded.
The fuller starts out pretty deep, but, after the first 15 inches or so, it shallows out very rapidly due to distal taper and the tapering in width of the fuller.

Somehow, I missed this topic before. Looks like great work on your part, Mark. And congratulations to Russ - I recall you expressing interest in a good Xa.1 replica for a long time.
