We only get one vote right? Honestly I want to vote for myself but I also want to vote for one other guy. In a certain sense I'd rather it be random hehe cause in a weird way honor demands I vote for someone else (against my own interest).

Very nice entries so far. Maybe AFTER contest the participants could share a bit about their costumes? At least I'd like to hear more info on them as they are cool. ) First I'd like to say congratulations to the winners, some really interesting costumes. I submitted # 10 the one with the Dire Wolf and Jon Snow headed to the Wall. i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/JRembing/Option%202.jpg If you've been off-planet for a few years it's a Game of Thrones reference you might want to look it up. Theres also been this little Zombie drama going around called the Walking Dead :D . The costume is a black leather tabbard with a crisscrossed pattern and pewter belt mounts at each cross over. All hand stitched and hand punched. I made this about two years ago and wore it once to a Ren Fair. (Oct 26, 2016 19:20:28 GMT -4 stormmaster said: whoever number 10 is, your dog is lovely, reminds me of Ghost from Game of Thrones, what breed is it, lemme know after this contest ends) His name is Ghost of course. He's an extremely large 5 year old Siberian Husky. Typical Siberian males weigh in at 50-70 lbs. He's 105 lbs. In the pic he's on a leash and I made a white fur collar cover that hides the collar and makes his neck look thicker. i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/JRembing/IMG_7528.jpg(Oct 26, 2016 21:43:23 GMT -4 Croccifixio said: Exactly the point of the costume I think. Well done! I wish it wasn't so blurred. Oh and I'm curious what sword that is. Looks like a really nice Brazil-nut if my eyes don't deceive me. H/T Norman?) Actually it just a Windlass CYO with the Brazil Nut pommel option. I picked it up from a member here, a few years back. It was the first sword I picked up that was able to fit into the scabbard already attached to the belt. Thanks for the questions Gentlemen. Thanks to all the folks who worked hard to promote this contest: Adrian, Voltan, L.Driggers(fallen), Marc Sanford, William Swiger and Paul Southern. These contests are always a lot of fun and your efforts are appreciated. Again Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone who entered.

This is my Teutonic Knight outfit in full regalia. Great Helm, Chainmail, Gauntlets, Greaves, Tabbard, Cloak, Crusader Sword, Shield and Battle Flag.
I recently got the guidon pole for my Cub Scout Den flag, so I used the guidon to mount my Battle Flag.
This picture was hot off the presses since I walked around the neighborhood trick-or-treating before this picture.
If I did it over again and now knowing that you can submit multiple pictures, I would have done a pose without the helmet and a few action shots.
Cheers!

Wow, Bill, incredibly generous! legacyofthesword, were you #17? Whoever it was, made me think of "The Book of Eli." Some great work by the photographer as well.

First of all, I'd like to say: well... as I said before, I'm not really sure what to say. Getting a $800+ sword as a gift is something that I just can't wrap my brain around. All I can say at this point is thank you. Thank you very, very much.
I'm sure my brain will completely explode as soon as the sword actually gets here.
Voltan: Yep, that was me - number 17. Thanks for the compliment! I thought about doing something Medieval at first, but I just didn't have the material. So I went post apocalyptic instead (and I already had a good location in mind too - an old grain elevator in town that was getting torn down). My friend did the photography. He's interested in that sort of thing, and film making too.

Thanks Croc. I actually keep checking these threads, to make sure I didn't read something wrong and it turns out I really didn't win....

Check this thread until you get the sword in hand to build excitement!
Oh and please do a review. There are way too few type XIIIb swords out there.

I don't know if raising my current level of excitement is a such a good idea.... As far as reviews go, I'll see what I can do: I don't have access to calipers or anything, so it'd be a fairly basic rundown. But yeah, I can give it a shot.

A video of you swinging it around would actually already help. Weight, length, and width too (just to compare with extant stats).

what an incredibly generous gift you have been granted, hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor by commissioning a matching scabbard to house the blade
