I have a custom with Lukas and Lundemo in the works. No other purchases planned unless something really interesting on the pre-owned market pops up.

Will be moving sometime in the next 2-years from Germany back to the States somewhere. Might end up in a small apartment in DC where my agency is based which means the collection would go into storage but working on finding someplace other than DC.......

I had a few Windlass Viking swords before 2007, but started seriously collecting in 2007. I was able to get where I am because I retired from the Army in 2006 and took a decent federal job with an assignment to Germany. The government pays my rent and utilities while I am overseas. Have bought what I wanted while the getting is good. When I transfer back to the States, my buying days are over.

I just ordered it a few days ago. Will post some more info when I get it. It came down between the ZT or the Del Tin 15th Century Infantry Sword - DT5159.
