Nice! I've handled one before, and I really love that sword!

Yeah, I'm still trying to decide how/where to display the albions. I have a couple of wooden wall-plaques, but not enough of them.

It doesn't have a scabbard, no. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try making one, or send it off to Christian Fletcher. But if you think we can make a good stab at it, I'm up for that!

Well, it got here. Really nice! It's in like-new condition. I can't tell that it was pre-owned.

I was looking at the thread on myArmoury about crosses on scabbards, and the Christian Fletcher scabbard with the raised cross looks really nice, and it's also an Albion Knight. http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=138405#138405

I don't think I'll have time to get any pics of it up before I leave, since I'm packing tonight. But then, the stock Albion photos pretty much tell the story. :)

Sweet! I can't wait to get my grubby fingerprints all over it! ;)

Now that you're back from Pennsic, are you bringing this to class on Wednesday? I'll consider letting you see my messer if you do. :)

Absolutely... I think it's worthy of a little show and tell.
