That lighting makes the sword look so cool, congrats!

Angus Trim said this sword in particular was closest to the original Atrim blade in all its recreated dimensions and handling. Cool stuff.

looks like it's missing the chape, I'm sure zach or sonny would mail you the right one...unless the exeter scabbard doesnt come with one ?

Nothing quite like that feeling when you get your Albion after a year+! The Chevalier came in Saturday and the the Prince this morning! The Prince has a healthy heft to it and strong presence when swung without being cumbersome. But I think the the Chevalier has stolen my heart! I wasn't expecting it to be as nimble as it is and the leather work came just as I was hoping. Add on the bronze pommels, which I think compliments the colors on both nicely, and it's just a kickass package all around! I'm looking forward to trying them out during Thanksgiving!     |

I was hoping for more of a plum red on the Prince but that's my fault for not being terribly specific when I placed the order. Still, it's a lovely shade of red so I don't have any quibbles over it. That Chevalier is jaw droppingly beautiful! It's the best looking Albion I have now and I think it knows it. If I ever give them names I think his will be Narcissus.  |

Beautiful Chevalier and Prince. I have what looks like an exact twin of your Chevalier. How long did you wait? I ordered my Vigil/Chevalier in May 2021 and the Chev turned up in August. I just got the Vigil yesterday.

Ha, I remember! I thought that was hilarious. I placed the order for both in June of last year as a birthday gift to myself (How Sad!). Now I'm playing the waiting game again for a Baron that I ordered in June of this year (with bronze pommel and purple dye). The two use the same blade don't they? I'd be interested to hear how they compare to one another. |

skelley , ggower Please try to write a review/comparison once you have had them for a while. I think I wouldn't be the only one interested in your impressions of both swords. More detailed stats would also be welcome. That is, if you enjoy this kind of thing. No pressure

That one I've searched high and low but never found one in the wild. Congrats, bud. |
