Just noticed today that Albion changed their website again. That has to have been recent, within the last week or so. Interesting redesign. I'm curious if the "sort by popularity" is accurate.

I do wish they bring back the option to sort by Oakeshott typology. It was way easier to find models when I wanted a example of a particular type.

The Sankt Annen is beautiful! It is, and so is The Wallace. There prices also make them very tempting. I need to be strong, and stick with my plan to buy a Chevalier next, and not be distracted buy the other pretty swords.

Initially prices were even lower if you made an order of either from what they listed as the introductory prices on facebook this last year. Seems like that opportunity is now gone, but they aren't too much more expensive. The Sankt Annen was 1400 as an introductory price I believe, and Wallace at 1200.

They took the Viking patterns off of The Maestro Line. And they took the 2 axes off the site finally. Glad I got them before Eric McHugh stopped making them for Albion.

It also looks like they've moved on from asking for a $300 deposit to asking for payment in full

It looks like the Viking swords are back on the Maestro line. Seems the website is still actively being worked on. Holding out hope again for a sort-by-typology option.

I mentioned the missing typology sorting and was told the site is still in progress. Most importantly -
"Deposits are still what we do. The site does not automatically take payment. I am still old school with that and taken them manually." is the official word from Mike

Figured I'd pass the word here. I will be placing the deposits for 2023 Albion swords 5 & 6 in a couple of months, so I needed to know.
