Did you handle the Archduke, Cherusker, and/or Long Seax? If so, what are your thoughts?

Ahh... Principe! What is he asking for this at the booth? Just self-torturing curious... Right now $1450 which is retail list it think. Today is the first day of a three day event so I doubt there will be any discounting until late Sunday afternoon. Let me know, I'd be happy to help it find a new home with you .... Today is my only day here but I have his phone number and can meet him Sunday afternoon to help a fellow SBG member spend their money.

There won't be any discounts on Sunday. The only thing Albion offers at their shows is free shipping on orders place with Mike for 'to be built' orders.

Considering the waiting list they have it's no surprise. I consider the immediate gratification to far outweigh a discount. If you decide you want it ... let me know by PM

Just out of curiosity. Do they only sell the ones they have on hand at shows?
or do they take ones back they did not sell and you can get it when they return back to Wisconsin if you wanted one they still had on hand?

I did not ask that but he tells me that there is a 1000 sword backlog so I suspect there is a waiting customer for anything that goes back. He has sold almost all the Maestro line of blunt reenactment swords he took as well as number of the "sharp" Next Gen and Squire line swords. I personally saw five NextGen swords sold while I was there.

I wish they had a wire wrapped regent there. I wish Mike would come up to Canada, Alberta specifically.
