Forgive the length of this post; I'm very excited.
Got home from work today to find a package on my doorstep. Brought it inside and dug out my trusty model 5 to do box-opening chores.

Opened it up and pulled everything out...

...and unwrapped the nice brown Christmas wrapping to reveal my long-awaited new Mission!

Copper hilt, green theme, carver stag, hammermarks... sweet...

And, of course, a nice Warlander sheath!

I'm a happy man. Even happier that it got here before we leave for Christmas; we're flying out tomorrow.
