Cool. I've been thinking of getting some late medieval styles. Mainly because there's a dearth of sword-fighting groups in Memphis, and I know of a place that can do coaching for it remotely. The Man-creature has already picked out a spot in our new yard for a fencing circle.

I would probably opt for an Albion sidesword or arming sword but they cost about $700-£1000 each and are sadly quite far behind my other priorities. I'm close to breaking on the purchase of a bronze age Witham sword though. It's shiny and I want it.
I know, right? It took me like, four years to finally save up enough for the rapier (it was about US$500, including the engraving), because every time I got close to having enough money, some kind of financial emergency came up.
Also, if you're not already familiar with them, these guys have some quite nice sword porn:
