How did I know this was going to be linked when I next logged in here?

(For others: We were at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show yesterday, and I was VERY tempted to put this sword on layaway... talked myself out of it, though... for now...)

[Sir Edward]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I just thought it was a nice sword.

Anyway, I got the pics from the show up:  http://ed.toton.org/cgi-bin/gallery.pl?gallery=2009.antiquearmsshow

Bill, let me know which ones you want and I'll get you the high-res originals.

Awesome! God, I want one of those longswords in the worst way...

[Sir Edward]

No kidding. That "one on the left" (last two photos) was the one I'd have dropped the $8k on if I could.

*drool*

Yeah, me too, man. Me too. Though I did certainly love the other two as well.

*sigh* I'd have to sell my entire collection to be able to buy one.

[Sir Edward]

No kidding, same here. And I'd rather have a wide range of repros that I can play with than just one single antique I can't mess with. Now if I could have both, that would be great. But I'm not selling everything just to get it.
