I apologize for hardly posting on here anymore, I'm usually on the IASC page and just keep meaning to do longer writeups especially on the patent hilts I've been working on but I got a large good crop from Czernys and a friend in Italy is gonna help me avoid the disgusting shipping a bit but without further ado here are the 5 swords I picked up with deals ranging from "yeah that's fair" to "really nice:" (I've at least six from Paul Wilcocks if not more, maybe 5-10 I've got bookmarked, and then I think the vast majority of my Victorian Era collection will be complete, eyeballing at least 1 of each of the Napoleonic Era stuff, maybe 1 nice good gilded and blued example and then some smallswords?)

Greg E Member little bit of this... and a whole lot of that Posts: 1,353	New Acquisitions Thread II Jun 19, 2023 23:51:29 GMT Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Greg E on Jun 19, 2023 23:51:29 GMT Have had this Albion Squire Line Vinland for years, but recently sent to Andy Sunda to change the grip and put a leather cover and belt over the scabbard core I made.

Grinning like an idiot every time I hold it. It's just so thuggish looking, I love it.

And a Wakefield hanger from Tod Cutler. The current display (I still have to add the Wakefield hanger):

Thanks! I made the hangers myself. This way I can customize them depending on the object. And I can keep a consistent look / make more in the future. I use(d) aluminum sheet as it keeps it's look and is softer than the mild steel fittings.

It's a real beast. It moves fluidly, but there's no denying it's a two-hander. The custom leather color (purple) I requested turned out great. Once again a sword I ordered directly from Albion doesn"t have any noteworthy flaws.

Looks regal in that color as well! I managed to find some time to create the bracket for the Wakefield hanger. The wall all finished up:

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
