3 more S-hilts .....
It's interesting how some of the S members can be almost horizontal , while others are angled sharply !

There's a user-submitted album in each of the categories. In this case, all these antiques would go into "User-submitted antique arms & armour". Just look around in there. There's lots of stuff you can do with the albums.
Hi Nathan
Will do ..... Thanks, Mac

Hi Ron,
It's looks great. Erik will be making me a smallsword this year. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm always very impressed by his work. Who made the blade on your basket-hilt?
regards,
Stephen
Hello Stephen,
The blade was made by Angus Trim. The fullers were done by Erik. I believe this is about the widest blade that Angus has done, but I may be wrong. I had it made based on the blade in The Sword and Sorrows, page 31 sword # 1:16. I have waited for about 16 months on this sword. Can't wait to see it! When it arrives I will get some really good pictures for you.
Best regards,
Ron

Ron

Hi Ron,
