Hi all, The time has come for me to let go of the crown jewel in my collection - the Albion Alpha-Omega. Essentially a hollow-ground Albion Munich, with a flare for fantasy in its furniture. Pics below, please pardon the camera quality: imgur.com/N4qsfklimgur.com/ehydPehimgur.com/s6iMD6Kimgur.com/FFwOpUqimgur.com/NhJiDc4imgur.com/Jg5cZE6imgur.com/6DMwfIfimgur.com/ZdHKflGI originally got this baby from fellow forumite, Kaiyo. I can't for the life of me remember who the scabbard maker was, but it's quite a sturdy wood-core affair. Both sword & scabbard are in excellent condition, and the blade is bloody sharp. I've never used it for testing cutting, but am sure it would perform admirably. Hoping to get 2,500 USD out of this, including world-wide shipping (except where sword imports are forbidden, of course). I'll do a discount to $2,400 incl. postage if payment is through Paypal F&F. I'm aware I don't post or buy/sell stuff on this forum very often, but each occasion has gone without a hitch. Any questions, please ask.

I can attest to Khoi being a great seller, I have purchased from him in the past Really wanted to get this one myself, but sadly, too many heat treated irons in the fire Best of luck with your sale Khoi. cheers rann

I was able to pick one of these up at an incredible steal during the height of the pandemic and outside of the pommel being a bit too sharp for my liking it is maybe the single best made sword in my collection, you'd be a fool not to get one of these. The Munich is already one of the most desired swords and this is like a refinement of the Munich for all intents and purposes. I'd compare this in that way to like the Munich being a Porsche and this being a GT3 or something comparable.
TL;DR if you are thinking of getting it, do it. You won't regret it.

It is very similar to the Munich, a fantastic deal on a discontinued piece

This is really an impressive sword at a fair price, but isn't a bit overstating being a fool not to get one? I personally don't like Munich blade style, or any pointy XVa, XVII, XVIIIb "toothpicks". I prefer wide cutting blades such as XIIa, XIIIa, XVIIIa, XVIIIc - you get the pattern. Everyone has their taste, that's all. Regarding the sword in this listing, I wish good luck with the sale! Let my reply be considered as thumbs up for the ad.
