woohoo
Ok, Sir Wolf. I know you can't wait for pics. 
Here you go.
LOL, did you really post those tiny pics for him? Cruel! 
Cruel is side-swiping me by underbidding on my Albion. But I'll let it slide.
LOL Next Order outing Sir James, we'll switch up swords to see how our new purchases measure up to standards & compare.
I love this new one!! Anyone ever hear of Michael Axon (Axon Armoury) out of Omaha, NE?? The man has outstanding blacksmithing/sword-making skill. Judging from mine, his swords are solid & well-crafted. And I paid half of what an Albion would run & the quality is just as refined compared to a Del Tin or A&A sword of similar design. It's much lighter (less than 3lbs), well-tempered, and high-quality steel. Cross-guard, hilt, handling, balance, pommel are all up to par & look sharp. Has a functional, sharp edge and thrusting point. Handle is dyed Ostrich Bone with a brass pommel and cross-guard. Looks like a Guingate sword but of much better quality. Can't wait to try it out on my cutting post. This one is not for competing with, it's for show or cutting limbs in combat.
If anyone wants his info, I'll pass it onto you. He seems local only which is a waste with what I can attribute to his apparent sword-making ability. He has no website, I bought this through private auction.
