Thanks Rich,

The top one will find a new home in the coming months, however the spear and shield make for a very dramatic display in the dining room.

It is strange the ways in Slacks Creek...I can only put two swords in the dining room but all the shields and spear I can muster can line the walls in the common areas....it seems she who must be obeyed likes spears and never stops telling me either....

Now that's very interesting ... as here in Wirral my other half likes daggers & swords but is not so keen on spears and shields ! Strange are the ways of women . However we both must thank our lucky stars as at least they like some weaponry around the house .... most of my pals have to smuggle it in !
PS ... did you ever see the pic I posted showing my wife's bedroom dressing table ... littered not with make up and jewellery , but with her dagger collection !
