Hi Mac!

Was playing around with my new scanner today and found
another S-hilt for you. Well, sort of. It's a painting of Major
James Fraser of Castle Leathers, and he's got another
S-Hilt for the collection. Check it out:

Hi Mac,

You've seen this one, but I thought I'd post it anyways. :)

Hi Capt. Alex

Good ones, Sir ! I do recognize the James Drummond ("Ancient Scottish Weapons") S-hilt !

I wonder if we can count the Ribbon / Beaknose styled hilts, that utilize the S feature, as part of our
growing picture count ?
