Ransom Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Okay, Iron Bess isn't the only one who gets to show off her new plunder. Here is the Windlass cutlass that Chain Shot surprized me with at the end of Ojai. I may have to keep that man! It needs a bit of polish (any recomendations on how best to do that?), but the vendor cut $50 bucks off the price, threw in the scabbard, and didn't charge to ship it to Oregon. Sweet. I like to think that the R stands for Ransom. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Mary Diamond Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 OH! Ransom, it is lovely! The engraving is simply breathtaking ~ Oooh, shiny!
Black Nate Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Fine weapon ya got there, capin! Polish it up? Looks ready for a fight as is, just keep it oiled and rust free. Ya could find another sword ta trade blows with, give it that been in action look, just file off any burrs. Treat it well an it'll treat you well, Ma'am! ~Black Nate~ A ship in a puddle is better than no ship at all Dear Saint Brendan, to mention your name is to recall much travelling. It was in relation to voyages that you emerged as a popular Saint. The Irish became great travelers thus spreading their faith everywhere. Protect not only mariners but also all those who go down to the sea in ships. Amen.
Red-Handed Jill Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 It's made by Windlass Steelcraft and they make good blades!

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 And mine has seen me through years of swordfights. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone up your way to cross blades with. Check out Deacon's postings on the TO7S forum.

LadyBarbossa Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very nice, Ransom. Very nice. :) Careful that it doesn't fall into another pirate's plunder pile or worse, a pirate or pirate hunter's trophy case. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
