Another market you should consider is experimental archaeology. Do you remember the thread on the destructive testing of a Neil Burridge bronze sword? One point frequently repeated throughout the comments is that people would like to see a similar destructive test for iron swords, and especially a direct comparison of how late bronze weaponry would have stood up to iron ones during the long stretch in the early Iron Age when the two coexisted for centuries. It'd be fun if you could manage that (especially if there's a customer with enough money to bankroll such an experiment).


I would LOVE to do this. I will consider this as soon as I build up enough quality bloomery material. This is something I've been talking about with my local historical fencing/combat group.
