Every year, August 25th celebrates the anniversary of the myArmoury.com forums. We launched in 2003 and that means we're celebrating our eleventh birthday today! For the last several years around this time, we've had a donation drive to help me pay for the annual server hosting bill.
The generosity of the membership here has offset this cost and kept me from having to pay for this whole thing out of pocket. As a means of appreciation, I usually put forth a contest to keep things interesting.
Thanks to longtime member Craig Peters, we have a contest this year as well. He turned to respected English maker, Leo Todeschini of Tod's Stuff for a really great prize. We've given away a lot of fantastic prizes over the years and this one is of course no exception.
THE PRIZE:
A 14th Century Styled Quillon Dagger and Scabbard by Tod's Stuff

This quillon dagger, styled after those from circa 1300, has steel hilt fittings and a leather cord-bound grip 90mm/3.5" long. The decorated leather scabbard has a simple folded chape. The diamond-section double-edged blade is 250mm/10" long. Overall, the piece is 380mm/15" long. It is valued at over $500 US!

Craig donated this prize to help keep this site running and came up with the terms of the contest. His idea was to limit the contest to thank those who were especially generous with their donations. Only those who have donated at least $25 during the contest period are eligible to enter. All donations are totaled and a new opportunity to win the prize is given for every $25 given.
