And more importantly, THANK YOU for your willingness to act as my agent and picking it up from the Albion table at Combatcon in Las Vegas for me! |

I have to say this makes me feel so proud that we have members here who would help another member out like this, a lot of times you hear horror stories of things like this happening but its the reverse, so and so helped another member out to only screw them over somehow. Great to see this wasn't the case. |

Great to see this wasn't the case. I made the same offer here two years ago when Albion had a display local at the So Calif Sword Fight in Huntington Beach. One member took me up on the offer and I bought him an Albion Principe and sent it to him. No reason why honorable sword nuts cant help each other out. |

I mean, how many times can I say "damn, that's a kingly sword!" But that spatha is lovely as well. I don't go for Roman swords normally but I'd make an exception for the Decurio. |

So I acquired the VA Krieger Eric Bergeron posted a little back and I love the thing. Handles great in the hand and is just an all-around attractive sword in it's utilitarian no-nonsense looks.    And I agree with Eric, the cocked hat pommel is very nice looking. I don't know why I never got a sword with one earlier. Also, good luck with your project Karmasoft! |

I wondered who bought that from him. I was eyeballing it and trying to think of some non-sword stuff to sell to raise money for it. I think it looks better than the Albion Ritter. I was never a big fan of the hat pommel, but it has grown on me quite a bit these days. I will buy that model from them in the future. It looks like it went to a good home You now have quite a few Valiants in your collection. Congrats on the purchase. |

I actually got kinda lucky when I got an unexpected check in the mail at the right time .  BUT NO MORE!!!! My boss and family are basically forcing me to take a vacation against my will and I gotta save for that!  |
