			Hi Guys 
		
		
		
			Just came back from Sword 2005 and I must say I had a great time! Lots of lovely old swords great lectures and demos. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Dr. Ann her lecture on wootz was very informative. Lee it was a pleasure seeing you at Ashokan and I really enjoyed our many discussions. Phil Tom it was a pleasure to see you at Ashokan and I enjoyed our conversations and the Chianti  . I was extremely happy to find and buy back my first barong that got me started down the path of ethnographic arms collecting some 10 or more years ago   Now I am counting the days to when we all meet again in Timonium. Below is the sword that launched a thousands bids   Regards, Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 20th September 2005 at 04:18 AM.  |

			Thanks Lew for the kind words. I really enjoyed myself too. I learned so much! and so many nice people! The only problem was that it was too short a time to meet and talk to so many interesting and knowledgable people.
