A few months ago I contacted Craig at Arms and Armour about doing a semi-custom version of their production Burgundian Poleaxe. I wanted to 'fancy' it up a bit and gave Craig some very general guidelines, but mostly left it to their artistic license. I just received the piece last night and couldn't be happier.

Note the punch work, and the inlays on the blade, and detailing on the langets!

The original of course is the A925 Poleaxe in the Wallace Collection here:

And here's my customized reproduction:

Well not a weapon, but still a historical piece, and perhaps part of a weapons system!

I just wanted to show off this masterpiece created by Jeffrey over at Royal Oak Armoury. In fact it is in the mail so I borrowed one of their photos. The black finish is natural and comes from linseed oil.

Based on this historical find shown on a site about Warwickshire is this grave find.

Robert, that's beautiful. Do you have plans for mounting it on a shield?

Tod's Stuff Landsknecht Dagger
Original: Circa 1510-20

This piece is inspired by an example from the early 16th century located in a private collection. I chose to have a simplified blade form that is a hand-forged hollow-ground flattened diamond cross-section created rather than the complex multi-fullered one on the antique.

I think there should be a warning sign on this thread, as so many awesome pieces will shock you. :)

Wow is about the only thing I can say...

I'm dreaming I'll get a recreation of some historical sword in Finland recreated by Finnish smith sometime near future (of course in my dreams there are couple swords...). But as a collector of Japanese swords, it's bit hard to get the money for that custom Euro saved up. But eventually I will get it, and reading this thread is very inspiring.

Pure awesome stuff in this thread.

Love that Irish sword! Green is the only color the grip could be!..............McM

Tim,

That is a really beautiful blade and hilt on your German Bastard sword. I am very fond of multiple fullered blades and that one suits the hilt design very nicely.

Love that sword of yours. I have an Albion Ritter, but I did my grip and scabbard in black. That's the coolest pommel type of them all.

My example of a historic item is not as clear-cut as all of the other above, but that's because the historical reference was incomplete..
