Hello my American weapon experts!
Can anyone name some good brands that supply decent quality, so-called 'battle-ready' swords like pic related?
I'm going for both a classic one-handed medieval sword, and a more recent 17th-18th century sword, would prefer swords to be affordable, quality, light-weight, sharp, and english in origin.
What can you guys suggest?

What is "affordable" to you? Give a price range.
Different anon here, but I am liking the thought of a buckler and either a warhammer or mace that are both decent quality and solidly built. Any suggestions there?

do you understand oakshott typology?
protip, learn what youre looking for, before you go buying, lest you buy coldsteel or some other shite
that said, you cant really go wrong with albion, unless you want to comission a smith for a few thousand

sideswords are shit desu senpai, either get a sabre or a highland broadsword
alternatively get some taste and buy one of these from matt easton
