I got quite a haul last Saturday but the weather been absolute crap and I wanted some natural light for the pictures.
My LK Chen bat wing Han sha came in the morning and my A&A 12th century spear and Hungarian axe came in the afternoon. What a day!

Thought I'd take a photo for a little size comparison. I stand at 6'1 ft. and the spear has a length of 6'10 ft. and the Han sha sits at 7'6 ft.

Thanks fellows. I'm not planning on doing anything for a long while. I don't really have much skill with my hands so custom work is a daunting thought for me but sometime down the line I would like to see about maybe mounting the axe head on a longer shaft to increase it's trusting potential.

Last shot is where it hangs with another VA sword. Attachments:

Definitely enjoying getting a few longswords in my collection as I've mostly ever had arming swords. Keeping my eyes peeled for more in the Vision line up.

trooperwill: I have just been appointed conservator and Guardian for Dave Kelly and have no experience or knowledge of swords. I would appreciate any assistance that folks who know Dave or have visited with him and seen his collection could give me. need appraisal Nov 28, 2024 0:05:16 GMT

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
