Hey, no problem. I'm glad to share the pictures. I'll try to make better ones next time I'm in Munich.

So I got to play with the Munich today (which belonged to Jason Elrod) and I went ahead and brought my Christian Fletcher/Angus Trim 1593 along with me (the very one linked to previously in this thread).

COMPLETELY different swords. :) Both are incredible pieces of workmanship, but the ATrim, as Gus said, has much thinner stock. The Albion has a very thick blade at the base, and though it obviously has distal taper, that spine remains pretty thick the whole way down.

They both handle very differently. The Albion one has a lot more blade mass, and feels very powerful without loosing speed. The ATrim is much lighter, and is slightly more nimble, though the blade could be set aside a little bit more easily.

The ATrim is more flexible due to it's thinner cross-section, and has a keener edge. The Albion has a thick spine, and is much more rigid. It would likely have stronger thrusts against the mail-protected areas of an armoured opponent.

Both are fantastic, but aside from being longswords that have similar profiles, they are not very similar swords.
