Capt. Sterling Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Woo hoo... congratulations... almost as pretty as my small sword... Nice to have the real deal isn't it...and this hanger is a beauty...

Captain McCool Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I think my favorite part is the cutout portions of the shell guard. I was unaware swords from the period ever bore that particular detail.

PoD Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm actually trying to work out how to make a mold of the whole hilt so I can reproduce it and fit a reenactment grade blade onto it. I think I need to find my liquid latex. ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Very nice indeed. You say it's English - could it be of Shotley Bridge make? The time period is right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain McCool Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Heh, I know what you mean, Jack. Everything's too frigging new here.

1stMate Matt Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 As most of you know by now, I am sort of a clamshell freak. I have looked at many originals and seen alot of styles but none exactly like this. Leading me to recreate this piece or at least the shell. Stay tuned...crazy when your 1stmate gets inspired! -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain McCool Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Woohoo! I was hoping I'd hear that from you, Matt! I can't wait to see it!

1stMate Matt Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yes, any dimentions that you can get me will help. Blade length/thickness/fuller width/handle length and I should be able to figure out the rest from there. Also what materials everything is made out of. To be honest I may make this pattern welded. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
