Just a heads up for those who were interested but might have missed out in the first run, VA made available the Tauber, Strasbourg, Milan, and Ansbach once again In their website.
I bought a Tauber and Ansbach from their first production and can say they are both excellent swords. Very different, but both a lot of fun to cut and swing around. And IMO the handling of the Tauber in particular is just ridiculous. In the best possible way.

The Ansbach and Strasbourg are gorgeous and some of the nicest swords ive ever handled. Right up there with my Albions but with better aesthetics to my tastes. Really cool swords, Love Angus Trim blades but his own swords have all the same fittibgs and colors so these are a really cool aesthetic change. I'd say actually the handling on the Ansbach is my favorite. I love the strasbourg too, but the Ansbach has a certain authority and power behind it too

I have not handled the Stasbourg but I have handled the Tauber and Exeter Longsword. The Tauber and Exeter are very agile.

The same blade type different furniture. They feel like a very agile dueling weapon, Ansbach feels like a war sword.

I thought the blade from the Tauber and Strousburg looked the same.
