Antiquing of the Schiavona
I picked this new Windlass type2
Schiavona up on E-bay about two weeks ago for a smokin' price of $169.00. Have for along time dreamed of having a Schiavona represented in my 17th c. collection. With that, I decided to do a antique job on it, just for kicks. So, via the Sean Flynt method and with some guidance from the maestro himself, I promised him some pics when I had it done, so Sean....here goes....
3 pics in all .... a group shot of my 17th c. repros. with the Schiavona before the process began, a little blurry close-up of hilt & blade and a full shot of it. May make some further alterations, but you get the jist of things. BTW, thanks Sean for your assistance and insight.
