I have a fantasy long sword hollow ground he made that I bought used. I think all of his swords are put together with a screw on pommel. Nice swords but that exchange rate will be rough considering how low the US dollar is now.

That might be true of his older work but according to the website all blades are assembled with either a recessed nut or peened tang. Been eying his site for a while now, really wish I had the money to pick up that celtic leafblade.

Eh. It's in the custom gallery, so I figured the cost included the accompanying scabbard in the second photo. That would put it along the lines of a customized Albion with a Fletcher scabbard/suspension.

^^^This from a man who owns a Lady Vivimus. :roll: :lol: WITH a custom scabbard.

Either way, I have nowhere to put a horse, but I've got a space on my wall that would be just perfect for this green beauty. MMM.

That is exactly what it looks like... :lol: You have a Boarderwatch... I have a Regent... did they slip out one night and meet up, and this was the result?

I want it too... the spirit is willing, the wallet is weak.

I used to own a great broad sword styled Atlantian made by them it was a very attractive sword, my brother was always coming over to play with it. In the end I just gave it to him as a gift. His work seems to just keep getting better and better.

This is here till I can work out how to add a Photo
