I whas about to say something about the tempingnes (how did I write that?) of the Celtic Del Tin blade...
Just to find out that this counted for someone else two...  (if you know what I mean)
All together this proves how popular Celtic stuff could be...
And how fast this market is... 
A good sword will only be sharp, in the hands of a wise man…
I am great fan of everything Celtic BC, including there weapons.

Whoa - the DT 5161 blade is gone, too.
I ordered one (each) of the Bronze Greek pieces today. Ever since I saw Kirk Spencer's amazing Sword of Odysseus recreation project here: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...highlight=, I have been interested in trying my hand. I dread what these pieces will look like when I am done, but, for the price, it is not a huge risk.

These offers on blades plus hilt assembly have me a bit excited. My only trouble is trying to decide whether to buy now, or wait a bit hoping other DT models will be posted in the moat.
Any indication how many DT models will eventually be on sale here?
regards, Michael

Hi Howard.

Length and wight for example..?

Folkert, you would probably be best served getting in touch with Mike over at Albion directly with any questions regarding specs and such.

Interesting - I hope I didn't jump too soon at my 'home improvement' project selections. Maybe I'll just need to buy more

More added today.
Unfortunately, I can't give you a list ahead of time (I am finding them all around the building and I haven't ID'd all of them yet). Weight and specs are something Mike can probably give you (when he gets back from Vegas next week.)
Best,

I rather like the look of that second cast bronze piece...pity I've got to haft my Daneaxe, or I might try to hilt that over winter break.
Oh, East of sands and sunlit gulf, your blood is thin, your gods are few;
You could not break the Northern wolf and now the wolf has turned on you.
The fires that light the coasts of Spain fling shadows on the Eastern strand.
