Here is a St. Maurice I picked up from J.D. Crawford. Jonathan at Crusader Monk did a scabbard and new Grip.

I guess my updates to this thread were lost with the crash... So I'll repost

Here is my Brazil Nut inspired by the 2036.1

Looks great Robin! I've always loved that sword and it's great to see such a nice repro! Kudos!

Here are some photos of my Albion Reeve. It has the best shape of any type A pommel that you'll ever see.

Ah yes, that turned out quite nicely. Looks like a new sword. I'm still proud of the unskilled labor I did on the blade. Hope you're happy with it!

How did you get the aged appearance for your Reeve, I would love to give my own a similar look as it actually looks better with that kind of appearance.

Well, I have completely flipped my collection of Brazil nuts so I figured I'd post my current collection....

Sweet line up man. I recognize some of them, but can you identify them all for us?

I really like the one on the far right of that picture. Is it based on a historical example ? Has a little bit of the look of the one on page 124 of Pierce but smaller pommel and longer cross but similar chunky-but- elegant lines.

I just finished building one! In general, I really like the brazil nut shape to look at, but I'm finding it less comfortable than I imagined. Maybe I should have rounded the edges more.
