Here is a pic from Christian Fletcher. It's ready and should be coming home in the next week! The basked was crafted by E.B. Erickson, the blade was pounded by Angus Trim and the lot was assembled by Christian Fletcher. Many thanks to all these gentlemen! I love this game! Wink

That's a fine blade! Nice to see a really broad broadsword!
You've done the hilt justice. Congratulations Allen!
Do you have any stats?
Although gentlemen usually doesn't ask for prices, but I'm curious: How much did it cost you (approx)?

Cheers,
Henrik

Constant and true.

Congrats there Allen on a fine looking piece.

I've got another year wait on my Eljay piece,but know it will be more than worth the wait.

Hehe- great stuff William Happy

No specific stats yet until I get it in hand and I plan on doing a full review. You could go to Angus site and see the info on this particular blade (its an AT-1414). I'd just rather do it all at once Happy

Thanks. I am really attracted to more of the 'middleman' weapons. Ones that look good, but are really just effective tools. I love this design cause its really servicable, but at the same time looks really elegant. My opinion anyway Happy
