Patrick Barta contacted me a few days ago with pictures of the sword he just finished for me. I thought I'd share them and see what everyone thinks. I haven't received it yet, but I sure am anxious to get it! It's based on the sword on page 116 of Ian Pierce's "Swords of the Viking Age". I'll post more pics when it arrives.

+1 on the jealousy
That is truly beautiful.

stunning. . . .
Is that handle made out of bone? The natural patterns and shading really gives that sword a great "authentic" looking character.
Excellent crafting. Beautiful..powerful in its simplicity. As always Tim, a Patrick Barta sword is something to behold.

Truly a noble weapon, elegant but undeniably martial. Congratulations!
Not normally my period of interest, but that is very nice! The horn handle really makes the piece special. Thanks for sharing. :)
Very nice.
Any idea how soon you will have it in hand?

I just sent the payment yesterday. With luck it won't be too long, but I'm unfortunately out of town next week so I'll have to wait until I get back most likely :wtf:
What an exceptional thing to come home to, a true historical piece of art from Patrick Barta! It just does not get any better than this!

Very, very nice, Tim.
Neat and sweet, Tim. Congratulation. Care to tell us any details with regards to your
project with Patrick Barta ? Length of time you spent on his waiting list ( as I understand
he does things ) ? Length of time it took for the project's completion once your project
was next up ? The information he required with regards to the design ? Were you under
the auspices of one of the most important rules with reguards to custom projects ? The
ever notorious Coffee And Donut Strategem ???

This sword looks like an antique reborn. Or something like that, if you see what I mean. I'm so jealous. :eek:

Matthew-
I was on his waiting list since January of 2004. He contacted me in May of this year to tell me that he was ready to start. I had originally ordered the baselard in his catalog. I asked in May if he could do a more elaborate pattern welded viking sword, but since he had scheduled only 40 hours work time for my original sword I had to have something simpler done. That was completely reasonable as I was the one who changed his mind. All I did as far as design goes was say "I want the one on page 116, with a light colored grip, either bone or horn". He did everything else. Truthfully, I didn't even know he was making a scabbard! Kind of a nice surprise! No bribery with food necessary, but there is a great Czech bakery by my house that makes a mean kolachky. If you need to send any to him, let me know ;)
