ArmArt has sent the following picture of what is supposed to be my custom bronze leaf blade under construction. After more than 3 1/2 years, dare I hope?

Very nice!!

I have wanted a very similar sword for over 10 years based on photos in a book called "Celtic Warriors" by Tim Newark, illustrated by Angus McBride. It's like an Osprey book on steroids.

I've wanted a bronze leaf blade for about 35 years since I saw a drawing in The Archaeology of Weapons. So I've actually been waiting a lot longer than 3 1/2 years.

Amazon just shipped that book, along with Records of the Medieval Sword, to me today. I should get them Wednesday or Thursday!!

That's a barstool instead of a workbench. Ominous. WTF?!

Looks great. I offer a tentative congratulations. I would like one of those, myself.

Nice looking piece. Glad to hear you are getting what you paid for from these guys. I was *this close* to ordering a custom sword and dagger about 3 1/2 years ago, but (fortunately) I didn't go through with it. Hopefully they're trying to make it right with their customers.

That's the only picture they've sent me. More as I get them. In the meantime, here's the design drawing. My scan of the original it's based upon is too large to attach. Maybe later today I'll make a smaller scan and add it.

Okay, what'd I do so that a couple posts only have links to the pictures while in a couple others the picture is part of the post? WTF?! I'm sure I did the same thing each time.

Big Grin Sorry for that Brock, that's nothing compare to all fingerprints you will have later, all over your monitor Big Grin
When you attach pictures next time, give them a max size of 695 dots/pixels so will it work
and check to so the file not are bigger then 125 KB

I made sure all pictures were under 100 KB. Oh well, everyone can see them now without having to click on a link. Thanks, Patrik.

If ArmArt gets it to me before the end of Aug., the sword itself is likely to have fingerprints all over it. I'm going to a Bronze Sword Festival in England and it's been requested I bring this if possible. I can imagine a lot of people wanting to get their hands on it. Big Grin

I would be interested in a report on that Bronze Sword Festival, if you wouldn't mind. I had considered going, myself, but have too much else going on.
