Nice! A long time ago, that used to be my favorite longsword. My tastes have changed quite a bit, but I still like the design a lot.
The original on which it was based is a Victorian forgery, but its believed that the forgery may have been based on a late 15th century piece.
wow. i've always liked those. where did u get yours from? i remember some other company else came out with a cheaper looking one, but I never could get it either. good choice!
Windlass had a version. It wasn't a terrible sword, but it had nickle plated fittings, and had the usual Windlass "charms". (loosening of hilt, softer steel, etc.)
