www.kultofathena.com/product~item~IP0012~name~Generation+2+Irish+Hand+%26+A+Half+Sword.htmA good Irish XVIIIB. Speaking of which, they have them in stock. Do you have any in stock Jason? KOA lists them as in stock and you carry Gen2 to but you don't list it as being instock. Their XVA swords as far as I have seen cannot be found instock anywhere. www.albion-swords.com/swords/albion/squire/sword-squire-warsword.htmI love my Squire like XIIA great sword! Great handling, excellent feel, good price considering the high quality fit and finish and excellent tapering put into the blade. Feels great in the hand to, fully peened, constructed the correct way! All it needs is sharpenning and a cord wrapped grip and you have an Albion Baron for nearly two hundred dollars less! Lastly, www.armsofvalour.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AOVL&Product_Code=1332&Category_Code=DSAThe pictures for this sword are out of date, DSA made it longer without the sword gaining weight. It weighs 3.6 pounds, I own one. I wish it were a straight diamond cross section the whole way through but it is a good heavy duty thrusting sword and it has fairly good handling. Quiet deadly when sharpened. Well these are my suggestions. The Albion will have a three month weight but the other two swords are currently in stock and can be purchased today and delivered within a week!

AoV is out of stock on the Irish. We should have more by October.
We also have the DS Gothic, and I did not realize they increased the length.

The one I own which I bought through SBG is different than the one pictured for your normal 1332. It weighs 3 pounds 10 ounces, is just over 48 inches long, and the fuller doesn't run all the way thorugh the guard. It stops two inches from the guard where there is a flat section of blade. I assumed all of the newer 1332s were like this. The older ones are listed as 46 inches in length weighing 3 pounds 8 ounces. Maybe mine was special? LOL That's how mine is anyway... How mine is after brian did work on it vrs.
