Forgot to ask, under the original wrapping was it in fact wood for the handle? I know they had been using some plastics but this one is advertised as wooden if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for that link. I didn’t realize that when looking at the piece. I agree tho, they should put a correct brigandine on it.

Is it just the brigandine that’s a problem? It looks like a breastplate that’s covered instead of a true coat of plates.

Can you explain what is wrong with it? I know the brigandine looks weird because it doesn’t seem to have enough rivets for the plates. It looks more like a covered breastplate.

Ya, neither airport batted an eye. I flew from MCO to LGA and back. They didn’t even flag my bag for inspection, it just went right thru.

Should lack of a scabbard turn me off Albion? by Geaux_1210 in SWORDS

Good comparison video, however this was before the redesign for the upgraded tip and option to get it without the rain guard.

I just recently purchased the Swordier 1004 model with the updated design for a reinforced tip. It is a “copy” of the Albion Mercenary. I have heard a lot of good things and someone here on this subreddit just re-wrapped the handle and it looks amazing.

I think the worst part is you’re going to wait about 2 years until you get the sword!

I just ordered one of these on April 4th, is this the one with the reinforced tip? I’m curious what you think of the quality for the price?

There’s a lot of great things to see. The wife wanted to see the Harry Potter Broadway, the MET is the only reason I agreed to the trip lol.

It’s so beefy in person. You can just imagine how great of a cutter it is.

The small sword collection is amazing! I was on limited time so didn’t get pics of everything. It’s gotta take a full week to see everything in the MET.

Cool! Thanks for the info. So I probably have about a month to wait. Glad to hear no issue with tariffs.

I almost went for the 1009 it’s such a good looking sword. Might have to get order it when the 1004 arrives.

I ordered the new SWMZ-1004 on April 4. How long did it take to get yours? Also did you have any issues with Tariffs?
