I love your books, I have read almost all. Just finished Sharpe’s Assassin and wanted to comment on the cover artwork. I have a sword that is purported to be a Union Officers sword from the American civil war where the brass and the hilt appears to be a match for the cover. I am sure that sword makers followed what worked well, so perhaps a copy from the European designs. I live in Summerville outside of Charleston and am pleased that you like our town. Keep writing great books!
