Attachment: 55.27 KBHi everyone,
Fun thread! Lots of baskets! Now I don't mean to get this thread sidetracked into antiques or anything, but did you all notice what's unusual about the S-basket with the Harvey blade that Stephen posted? No? Here it is: the S hilt members are mounted reversed compared to other S hilts pictured (and this is the first antique I've seen with this orientation of the S). I thought I was the only one that did that, but here we have proof that at least one hiltmaker back in the 1700s mounted his S's this way, too.

I have to say I like Ron's Turcael the most. The I love the double fullered blade. But I would be extremely happy to own either of them.

Yes, the original ( see here in Ron's lucky hands, at The Museum of Scotland :-) has such a 'wicked' looking blade !
It had to have made an enemy think twice !
Vince did an incredible job on his version , I luv it ! Mac

Hi Ron,
It's looks great. Erik will be making me a smallsword this year. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm always very impressed by his work. Who made the blade on your basket-hilt?

Stephen
