It's interesting to see what colectors use as display devices, and yours seem to be musem quality. I especially enoy your 14th c. set, as I have the sister sword to your Sovereign (the only other one Albion had made with all bronze fittings).
Thanks for sharing!! |
Well, there's at least 3 Sovereigns I know of with all-bronze hilts (yours, mine, and another forumite's). :) I wouldn't call the displays museum quality (though I appreciate the kind words). It's just a wall-hanger floor stand in a china cabinet. :) |
Really? I could have sworn there were only two (at least, that's what we thought when I worked at Albion). Do you remember who has the third?

A guy local to me, Doug Gardner, bought one. I ordered it on his behalf at the 2005 Atlanta Bladeshow since they were selling them as a show-only item.
I guess they got back extra castings when they finally got mine in.

| Thanks for the reply Chad! I've done that in the past. It makes your wall look like swiss cheese... But Maybe that's the only way to do it simple. I had an idea of making a wooden disc to put in the middle and have the swords in a circle around it. But I don't have a wall big enough in the apartment! Fortunately I have a very understanding wife... |
You might be able to take a board/plank and stain/carve it and hang it on the wall. You'd then screw your brackets to it. It would put fewer holes in the wall. :) Just make sure you screw it into the studs/supports.

Heh, we got solid concrete walls with dteelreinforcments in the whole apartment. Can barely put up a picture on the wall, ha ha. But I'll keep it in mind for when I finally get my own house. I don't have as much as most of you guys yet but it's slowly growing. And again, nice pictures Chad!
