Title: Newest toy: A&A Edward III
Post by: Sir Edward on 2013-11-02, 19:27:17

I picked this one up from Todd Eriksen, who was selling it to raise some quick cash so he could go to Days of Knights. It has some minor rust spots and blemishes that I need to work on, but I cleaned up the brass for these photos.

Excellent! This is a similar, but different one from Sir Ian's A&A Black Prince, right? I didn't know there are two styles.

I think you're confusing Edward III and his son Edward of Woodstock good Sir Knight.  The 'Black Prince' is Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales, his father is Edward III.  The two swords are attributed to the two different men.

how wide is the blade at it's widest point?
how long is it?
How much was it?
Is it combat or decor.

A very Nice Blade, certainly a good one to add to your large collection. It could even shine above the rest.

For me, the archetype of the knightly sword is embodied in the Oakeshott type XVIII class of swords, Edward III's in particular.  What a beauty.  My first real sword was a XVIII, too.
