Hello,
I have decided to let reality win and accede to the fact that I'm just not going to be wearing this sword to any Games or other Celtic events, because when I go it's primarily as a harper and while I'll be in Jacobite rig, I won't be wearing a sword, or any blade other than one of my dirks and a sgian achlais.
So, this is for sale. It started life as one of Hanwei's antiqued Scottish backsword, but then I took it apart, cleaned off most of the "antiquing" gunk, float-tested the silly fleece basket liner, did away with the fringe-y bit, and installed a bison-hide finger loop because I like them.
Also I dyed the scabbard black because the rest of the leather I intended to wear it with is black.
Here's to show the same grip is real rayskin instead of that plastic junk:
Anyway, there it is. I'm going to ask $300 + shipping but I'll be a little bit reasonable; after all - I'm selling it to avoid finding a place for it on my wall, and I'm just going to take whatever money I get for it and probably buy another dirk. Maybe one of Tod's.
Cheers.
