The first bare blade is their "Celtic sword" blade. It is a single-handed blade and could be turned into a Viking style sword or a sword appropriate for practising the sword and buckler system of MS I.33. It has been milled and heat treated by Albion, and additionally cleaned to remove the black coating that covered the blade when it was sent.
Specifications:
- heat treated by Albion Swords
- total length: 35.25 inches
- blade length: 28 inches
- tang length: 7.25 inches
- weight: 740 grams
I paid something like £170 for this, including postage etc, when I bought it. Ideally, I would like to receive £100 plus postage (around £10 in the UK) for this item.

The second bare blade is their "type XVI longsword" blade. It is a hand-and-a-half or longsword blade and could be appropriate for training the 15th century longsword systems of Liechtenauer or Fiore. It has been milled and heat treated by Albion. Additionally, it has been cleaned to remove the black coating that covered the blade when it was sent, and the edges have been partially sharpened.

I paid something like £200 for this, including postage etc, when I bought it. Ideally, I would like to receive £125 plus postage (around £15 in the UK) for this item.
