    I have been looking for something like this for several years - where did you get it - do you have a contact number or email?
    This sword was one of only a few made by Al for Albion Armorers back in the early 1990s. They no longer offer anything like it. If I wanted a sword like this now I'd probably contact John Lundemo of Odinblades. His work is fantastic. But be prepared to spend over $1,000 for a custom made sword of the same quality as mine.

    Ah just checked his site - looks great. I may have to wait a couple of months. My wife just bought me a naval officer's sword for my birthday and what with the belt etc I just bought we are over a thousand now. I have bookmarked the site and am now saving my pennies.

    Just FYI he often has a waiting list of more than a year (which is not uncommon with well known bladesmiths).

    Yeah but it's a Jake Pwoning! it's worth it. The casting demo that he did at Ashokan a few years back was fantastic according to all my friends who made it. I hope that he makes it this year as it's "Sword year" for the Ashokan blade seminar, and I'd love to meet him, as I missed going 2 years ago when he was there.
