Congrats! That's a beaut!
Congrats on a beauty of a sword James. I still can't put my Jarl down :D

Would you consider doing a full blown review for us? It would be a good addition for the Reviews section.

Nice shield too.
Congrats! Thats a real beauty :D I look forward to your review.
Hello James,
Congratulations on the fine aquistion. Your shield appears to be a Mercanerys tailor. What kind of paint did you use on that? Thanks, Jeremy
<whistles> That's one heck of a nice sword you have there. :cool:

Thanks Patrick, I know what you mean, I can't stop looking at this sword.Its funny how two contemporary swords( the Jarl and Huscarl) can be so alike, typeX blades Type S variant hilts, and yet be so different.The Jarl (to me) is a very elegent weapon, with very refined lines, "kingly" if you will. The huskarl is very "in your face" "my lobed pommel is the biggest " type sword. I would be honored to do a full review.

Thanks Jeremy, actualy I built her from scratch, 1/4 pine boards, faced with 2 layers of linen front and back with a rawhide rim sewn on. Oak grip,The boss is from The Jelling Dragon(6 years ago).I painted it with sherman williams interior latex (very authentic) and artist oils.

Congrats on a beautiful sword there, James! I'd have a hard time putting one of those down myself. It's a real beauty. :)
Thanks James, a review would be outstanding.

I know what you mean about the Jarl and the Huscarl. That's exactly the impression I had of the two. "In your face" is a perfect way to describe the Huscarl. The Witham Viking sword in the British Museum has always been one of my favorites of the type. Naturally when Albion announced the Jarl I was pretty excited. I have to say that they did an excellent job on this one. It may be my favorite Albion to date. The Hersir is catching my intrest also.

Could you post a pic of the grip on your shield? I have a viking shield from Viking Shield.com that I'd like to redo the grip on, and I'd like to see how you did yours.
I must say that Eric McHugh made a good work on that wire :)
