Very very nice. The only sword I've held is the Citizen Army Training sword, back in high school. A ceremonial sword, thin and light. It's yours, isn't it? Like thosbanners behind you. My I'd give a lot to have something like those.

Yes, it's mine. First medieval sword I'd held, as well. Did my research before buying it though. They're available for anyone to purchase, depending on local laws of course. I feel obligated to say though that anyone considering buying a sharp sword must place safety first. No children can be allowed to handle it or access it. Be extremely careful using it. But I like mine, and I've had fun cutting bottles with it. Having and handling a sword has brought a new perspective to the way I view the medieval ages, and Middle-Earth. It feels more real.

OMG OMG OMG *dies*.

That is an awesome page there, thanks a lot for posting the link. I'll have to see what I can afford and what I want to purchase, probably something Gondorian.

The good part is that since I live in Germany I don't expect the costs to be that high for transportation.

I actually have a fairly Tolkien-like room myself, also wood everywhere and since I live in the attic and the room is as long as the house it looks a bit like Beorn's hall with beams spanning over the width of the room to support the two sides of the roof. Now all I need are some of those flags...

You're welcome! I can't believe you actually live in Germany - that's perfect.

Sounds like a wonderful room you have there too...

Well, maybe I ought to post some new pics, since I also updated my picture on the photo page.

Me in a Titanic position

Getting electric shocks in the London Science Museum (Mind the writing on the floor)

With a BIG projectile in front of the Imperial War Museum

Ok, enough crazy pics of me for now.

Sorry, none of those worked. Must be the link in incorrect, or only accessible to yourself.
