Could I have an opinion on the Del Tin DT5144? The scabbards are an extra $100, are they worth it?

With that blade it's not quite what I would think of as a 'typical' Crusades sword; swords more like the Hanwei/Tinker Great Sword, Norman, the Valiant Signature Crusader, etc, are more typical. Beyond that I can't really say further, but 14th-15th century is definitely out of place for the 3rd Crusade.

Haven't heard any reviews of Kult of Athena's leather scabbards-- they're a new addition-- you want to be the guinea pig? :wink:

Here's an example of an XI: kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=DFO11

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
