What's this... a 'production' leafblade longsword? At VA?

I'd seen the arming sword a couple of times before, but this is the first time I had seen Sonny post THIS. Now that's interesting. It looks like the old ATrim leafblades that are still floating around. (In fact, these pictures almost certainly ARE... since they were taken by an older camera, and there is a LOT of custom detailing on this piece. I also HIGHLY doubt that half-wire-wrap or gondorian tree comes standard. 
) It's pricey though, if you read the description, the listed price is a down payment of around half the price.
At this point, I wonder if he's getting the blades through his regular channels to Gus' specs (like he did with the Practical Longsword)... or if he's having Steven Lockwood do them. Maybe he found a stock of unfinished blades? Unlikely. I might wait a few weeks and see if he puts up more info on the page, and then maybe shoot him an email with more questions. I just thought it might be relevant to this section of the forum.
