Just received this stunning piece from Craig and crew at Arms & Armor -- Leeds Castle with aged hilt furniture and light brown grip. Beautifully done.

Chris,
That looks great! I love a good Type XVIIIC. :) The aged furniture is really interesting.

Chad

Thanks for the comment! Yes, they did a very nice job on the aging. A&A took a more nuanced approach than I have in my own experiments. For example, see the attached Windlass XIV after two rounds of heavy vinegar and salt application. The grip is by Steven Huerta.
