Albion Armorers Next Generation Regent Sword
Click image for larger photo
This is my second Albion Regent I've owned. I had to sell the first to pay for some outstanding bills. I was fortunate enough to replace it, but now I need to sell it again. This site's annual hosting bill is approaching in a few weeks and, despite the generous donations by our members, I've got a hefty chunk of it to I have to pay. This sale should do the job.
The following ad is from the last one I posted:
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.

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: 3.6 pounds
Width of guard: 9.625"
Blade: 37.25" long; 2" wide tapering to .5"
Grip and pommel: 10.375"
Point of Balance (PoB): 5.375" from guard
Center of Percussion (CoP): ~23" from guard
Excellent condition. Black leather grip. As-new. Never used for cutting. Only used in "dry handling". The retail price on this item is $1,100 from the maker.
ASKING PRICE: $900 + shipping
I prefer PayPal. Add 3% mark-up to offset PayPal fee.
