when will The Chieftain be released? The albion sword, of course

David, I could be wrong, but I figger it will be out by winter. I can't wait for those Scotties! A matched set of a Chieftain and a Laird would be awesome. The Chieftain, in case you don't know, is a representation of a Highland war sword......an earlier version of the Great Claymore........a sword I would LOVE to see produced by Albion. No one that I know of makes a real, TRUE Highland Great Claymore with a battle ready blade and full tang.......though I have heard good things about A&A. These are the most interesting of all Medieval great swords to me. There are so few of them, and they are so rare, that really very little is known about them. Once again, I'm bettin' on winter, but I could be wrong. You would have to milk Howy for the real scoop.
