3 more S-hilts .....
It's interesting how some of the S members can be almost horizontal , while others are angled sharply !

There's a user-submitted album in each of the categories. In this case, all these antiques would go into "User-submitted antique arms & armour". Just look around in there. There's lots of stuff you can do with the albums.

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?
regards,
Stephen
Hello Stephen,
The blade was made by Angus Trim. The fullers were done by Erik. I believe this is about the widest blade that Angus has done, but I may be wrong. I had it made based on the blade in The Sword and Sorrows, page 31 sword # 1:16. I have waited for about 16 months on this sword. Can't wait to see it! When it arrives I will get some really good pictures for you.
Best regards,
Ron

Hi Ron
That looks like a beauty ...... what a beefy blade 'eh ! I gotta hear the stats on this puppy *g*
Congrats !
Hi Mac,
Erik sent it out on Friday! I will let you know when it gets here.
Best regards,
Ron
I have not tarried in long journeys over the surface of the sea, nor have I feared the threats of enemies or wild beasts, O strong leader, Maurice, go well good friend; I discern through such sweetness, the beauties of the country life, a safe return and nobility. Lift high the wine vessel. Such things are worthy of remembrance.

Hi Ron,
Thanks, I'll look forward to the pictures and stats. It sure is nice.  For those who don't have access to the book Culloden: The Swords & the Sorrows, I have attached a scan.
