I too have been tempted by that Sting a few times...however, I've always held off because even if it's carbon steel...did they still use the same rat-tail tang and potmetal hilt components of the SS version? Anybody want to buy one and take it apart?

I do sword modification and upgrades, from total hilt replacement to grip-rewraps and scabbard making. If you have a project you want done, send me a PM....maybe I can help.

Thats a good point... never thought of that. Another thing that put me off was the material used to make the pommel and guard. I BELIEVE I read somewhere that they used zinc or some other cheap cast metal.

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

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
