MC#26 arrived today. I started to unpack the items, but decided to save some for when I get home from work tomorrow. What I have found so far -

Deepeeka Turkish Fantasy Sword
www.kultofathena.com/product/turkish-fantasy-sword-close-out/

(this should be a good test project for unleashing the wonderfully balanced scimitar hiding under all of that extra steel)

Devil’s Edge Celtic Sword
www.kultofathena.com/product/devils-edge-celtic-sword/

(sharpened, probably a returned item since I haven't seen an obvious flaw)

Baladay Scimitar – Damascus with Steel Hilt (no scabbard included, a little surface rust on blade)
www.kultofathena.com/product/baladay-scimitar-damascus-with-steel-hilt/

(will be a nice looking piece once cleaned up)

Undetermined hand-and-a-half sword with tip broken by about ½” (I'll post pictures tomorrow). Needs a little work to re-shape a tip, but it does have a scabbard already.

So far - 4 swords

I think I've identified the broken tip bastard it is probably a Ronin Katana Two Handed Long Sword #7
www.kultofathena.com/product/ronin-katana-two-handed-long-sword-7/
(scabbard has two straps, like the one shown on the Ronin Katana website, not 3 like on KoA roninkatana.com/ronin-katana-two-handed-long-sword-7-leather-wrapped-grip/ )

Deepeka Horn Grip Seax
www.kultofathena.com/product/horn-grip-seax/
(needs some repair – the grip is completely loose and the guard rattles. The grip itself appears to be a hollow piece of horn and is not cut to mate up with the pommel. Sheath is mostly ok, but is upside down since the seax was worn edge up)

Viking sword – possibly Deepeeka Viking Broad Sword
deepeeka.in/viking-broad-sword.html
(no scabbard, extra dull blade, blackened hilt appears to be painted black for guard and pommel but they are non-magnetic, black wire grip, peened pommel. May be a good victim for re-grinding practice)

Iron Tiger Forge Lion-Dog Jian
www.kultofathena.com/product/iron-tiger-forge-lion-dog-jian/
(wooden box with display stand and cleaning kit, scabbard is extremely tight and has a missing piece along the bottom edge. Nice looking blade and reasonably sharp out of the box)

so total is 6 swords and 1 knife

I'm in the process of repairing the bone grip seax now. I am attaching shims to the tang to eliminate the guard rattle. The grip is two pieces of horn glued together, so 2/3 of the grip is air. I will be adding some type of filler to the horn (epoxy putty is a likely component of my mad science). Then I will need to add a plug to the pommel end of the horn grip so I can curve it to mate up perfectly to the pommel cap.

still trying to decide how badly the sheath bugs me. The braids were well done (unlike the bone grip seax I bought out of the classified here), but it was made to fit with the edge down. Always thought the standard for a Viking seax was edge up.

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

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 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

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346

blackngold: Dallas is the worst place in the country to fly in and out of. High winds can delay your flight by 6.5 hours and leave you sitting on the tarmac for an additional 2 (ask me how I know)... Oct 31, 2024 2:21:20 GMT

nerdthenord: Oh I’ve been there lol, I’m in Texas. Dallas is certainly not high on my travel list lol Oct 27, 2024 8:35:23 GMT

Arlequin: Come to Dallas, we can be your worst

nerdthenord: I just got back from 10 days in Chicago and Milwaukee, absolutely amazing. Chicago was easily my favorite big City I have ever been to Oct 25, 2024 13:59:11 GMT

nerdthenord: Very horrible news, I'm so sorry Oct 25, 2024 13:58:20 GMT

alinkinthechain: This is sad news Oct 16, 2024 18:58:13 GMT
