Maybe I need to add an Eric McHugh axe to my list...

Eagle pommel swords, of course but I am eying rapiers and other possibles. I may have spotted my next sword.

What I really need to accomplish next year is consolidating some files such as this eagle pommel (and some others) image bank. Some hundreds of examples in a state of chaos from the past decade or so. I am juggling too many drives.

Books and a modern camera are also on the list. Never enough books.

A globose breastplate and updated and improved limb defenses are guaranteed "gets" so to speak, I will finally have it and it will fit!

I'm looking into getting chainmail as well, lots of rings to turn into voiders and a skirt to sew onto my arming garment.

My wishf purchase, if I find the money, will be from Sartor, about five feet of their red and silver peacocks & griffins cloth of silk to turn into a mid 14th century surcotte.

And well, that one thing I really want that I cannot get? A good pair of greaves, I just don't have that kind of money.

Hmm, well I wouldn't mind owning a gladius again, but really I need to be selling off my collection not adding to it. :(

Going to go pick up a variation (cosmetic) on the English loop hilt small sword at A&A. It is already waiting for me, but I probably can't get there until after the new year even though I usually (lately) only live about 20 miles away.

I hope I can get a very elaborated 16th century breastplate with deep globus shape.

I have my eye on several things actually..not sure if any of them will actually be purchased but maybe one of them. I am super fixated on hexagon cross section sword types lately and since recently becoming the owner of a Sempach and also lucky enough to handle a Tyrolean recently.....that fixation has grown.

1 - Albion Gallowglass
2 - Albion Condottiere

Also been trying to scratch the XI type itch...so am trying to make that happen but none of what is currently out there in the production market is exactly what I am looking for, so perhaps some sort of custom.

Various other Albions and A&As are also on the list but would be opportunity purchases if I come across one in the 2nd hand market.

I commissioned Jeff Helmes for a 28" PW blade based off of the Anglo Saxon Gilliing West sword. I plan on getting it hilted by someone else (Yeshua, maybe?) in either a Type D migration period or Type L Saxon. First big custom project I've ever done.

I don't have a rapier in my collection. Other than what I already have on hand and a few already on order, the rapier is the only addition I can think of adding in 2015.

im thinking some books

mostly ones to further my studies of the byzantines, as well as probably dan's bronze age warfare book.

and this, just as a small christmas gift to myself http://www.medieval-fightclub.com/products/Re...model.html

Scabbards. I have an A&A rapier and sidesword that are shamefully un-attired. I may also put in a pre-order for an Albion Capo Ferro. Otherwise, 2015 may be the year I trim my collection a bit to focus my interests a bit more narrowly.

Full suit of plate and maille........yeah baby!...... :D .............mcm

Since I just started a thread about planned 2016 acquisitions, I thought it would be interesting to see how our plans from last year (2015) panned out.

I said, I did have an idea to get Baltimore Knife and Sword to make a stage combat longsword with some distal taper on the blade, but that probably won't happen.

It did happen. BKS made this sword for me last year. Sadly, I'm not that happy with its looks and balance. I should have gotten a Maestro instead.

Well, I intended on nothing new. Ended up with a Valiant Armoury Crusader and a Michael Pikula Type G single-edge Viking sword... so there ya go....
