Hi!
I want to buy an Albion Crecy, I have seen many reviews and I am almost decided but...
I have doubts about the peening method. The peen is almost invisible, in every example I see in a museum of this kind of sword the peen is visible
Anyone has an historical example of a similar sword with a peening method like the Crecy?
Thanks!

No... Why?
I just want to know something specific about a sword before purchase it

First, welcome to the forum! The Crecy is peened directly onto the pommel, without the use of a peen block. This is 100% historically accurate - not all swords had a peen block. The reason it's not very visible is because of the high quality polishing that Albion does. Some swords don't have the peen ground flat to the pommel or don't have as fine a polish, which leaves the peen more visible. That requires less labor and therefore reduces costs. Seeing the peen on surviving period examples may be because of corrosion or a lower level of finishing work, as scouthound said, or may be because the original grip no longer exists, and it now has no grip or a more recent replacement.
Hope that helps!
