Helen - It's too bad that you couldn't bring these to Pamela's "show-and-tell". I like the looks of the Lady Ash. But the rapier, ah, the rapier, ooooh  It makes for a nice avatar, too.

Helen, the swords were even more beautiful in person. Thanks for sharing! Isn't it funny how we all seem to come running whenever someone pulls out a new sword? Congratulations again girlfriend! You rock (and so do your swords!)

It's funny you should mention that Steve. I did have the rapier in the car at the time BUT I came in late for one and then Bill brought out his cases. I thought "gee it would be awfully silly to bring out a blunt rapier amongst all these beautiful sharps." Also, I didn't have my 1526. It was currently on it's way going to Virginia  . It arrived that Thursday.

Helen, Congrats on the new swords! They're lovely and your photography did them justice as well - nice job. I hope they bring you years of joy.

I've gotten to play with the swords, and they're quite nice. Though that Lady Ash is too light for me. It still handles really beautifully, even if I like heavier swords.
The Darkwood is also very nice, even for the standard fencing finish. Handles very nicely.
