To be honest, my VA desires have been pretty much fulfilled with the Crusader. I'd like to see a big two hander, maybe a type XIIIa, though it's not something I would buy. I already pledged my loyalty to Tinker's type XIIIa from Hanwei, and my arming sword slot is filled by the VA Crusader.
Other than those two swords, I don't have anything else on my "to buy" list. I know, I'm a pretty easily satisfied guy. ;D

kid, you know, the Crusader's based on the AT303S I believe...good little sword as you know. I wonder if the Templar is going to be built using the 304S blade...that'd be cool. Very cool.
I think with those two being able to be customized, I might just go with the practicals and gussy them up a bit.

I just realized that we also need a nice, well balanced Scottish broadsword. Or backsword. I would buy any of these two.

I myself would love to see an VA signature Irish hand and a half ring pommel with an ''s'' guard , over all around 46" with a blade similar to the AT304s,with a 7" brown leather grip with risers in the middle and the ends.I'd buy this sword if they made it so this is one sword in my wish list to be in the VA Signature Collection.

Frankly I wouldnt mind a well made detailed kopesh, a falcata also, being there a messer would be good also and my personal choice would be a celtic one with a metal scabbard... but sadly keeping in mind that they need something to appeal the mass market ( if such a thing exist in the sword business ) i think that those models might be out of the question ( god i would like to be wrong ). They will instead be probably tempted to test the eastern sword market, katanas have such a big mass appeal that its almost certain that they will someday develop a eastern ''signature '' equivalent line.
Another avenue is the fantasy swords, they already tapped it with John's Warder and if i was Sonny i would continue in that way, i really think that mr Lundemo is open to contribute and personnaly i'm sure that it would be a sure hit.

I don't think the signature line is going to drift into Katana... Sonny backed away from Valiant Armoury's Katana a little while ago to make the companies focus on Western Swords. I'd like to see the following... A Single Handed Saber, Rapier, a Falchion, and a Cutlass. ;D
