Some lovely swords here!
Last ones I aquired are these from Vladimir Cervenka, ....And I like them!!..............Lovely steel and a joy in hand.
Viking age type 'S'
Anglo-saxon, (sort of a loose 'copy' of sword found at Gilling -West. Pommel is plain, as I wanted to dress it up a bit myself. It's a bit of a one-off)
And his rather elegant "Italian" sword, which looks like a castillon find to some degree.
Sorry pics are in wrong order....
All best,
Richard.

For grins I'll let folks guess what these are from these rather poor photos for now and perhaps in a few days I'll get some cooperation from the weather for better photos.

Right you are (PT6).
That didn't take too long. In fairness it could be a Pavel Moc sourced through Arma Bohemia. I don't think that all the stuff they offer is produced in house, but then again I don't know.
Now the other ones.

These you know about but you don't know what the on deck project is.

I can finally join this thread! But I fully expect that the topic means last as in most recent, not final, as I fully intend to make a habit of acquiring swords!
That said, I'm now (actually, I have been for about a week now) the proud owner of a Gaddhjalt, courtesy of those good folks over at Albion. Tell ya what, too: I wanna live in Mike's world, because I'd win a lot more eBay auctions if I did. I called on 18 March to order and he quoted me 16 weeks in the queue, which was running "a little ahead of schedule". It was waiting for me when I got home from work on 17 April. The only problem? Now I want to buy something else!
Here's a picture. It's not very good, but sadly it's the best of the lot that I have so far. I lack photo-snapping panache to begin with, to say nothing of that fancy flash-diffusing equipment the pros have! But hey, it's the thought that counts, right? I'll try to get some nice outdoor-lighting pics tomorrow if it doesn't rain on me.

My last sword purchase was a few months ago; an AT1313 longsword I bought off the Marketplace. I love Arma Bohemia's items; been drooling over some of their pieces lately.

They have a whole bunch of stuff in stock right now. Updated their website in the last week or so I believe.
Just trying to be helpful!

My newest toy:
Customized Albion Baron,
The grip and scabbard are a very dark blue color (with the grip darker than the scabbard). I commissioned it through Christian Fletcher, whose time estimate was spot-on. In fact, the amusing thing was that I ordered it 6 months in advance of an event that I was hoping to have it for (though no big deal if it didn't arrive in time; it was just a hope), and it managed to arrive the day before. Not only that, but I had it shipped to my office, and because it was the Friday right before the holiday weekend, they were closing the offices at 3:30... and the sword arrived at 3:28.
I was doing one of these sorts of things: http://www.xkcd.com/281/

My guess is that the rapier and dagger set are from Lutel.

The Kingdom of Heaven Reynald sword was my last purchase.
It's a really attractive sword and I loved the scabbard and belt that came with it!
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it to put here.

That is a great looking sword Ed. I just love those late 13th century great swords and Christian does awesome work as well. The scabbard and suspension is his work as well? I would also be interested in seeing what you wore this sword with.

Thanks, I'm certainly quite pleased with it. Yes, the scabbard and suspension are from Christian as well. Actually, the scabbard was the main point in ordering it from him. I figured that I'd also have the grip customized while I was at it. I think the suspension is a bit out of period, but then a sword of this size was probably meant more for cavalry use at the time.
Here's what I wore it with:
