Yes Tim, of course you should share your work with us, best of all with some short historical explanation. It is always interesting to see the modern development of the arms metal work. The modern Russian smithes make very interesting and splendid arms nowadays, but I think it is a subject for the new thread.

Fantastic pictures of Fantastic items. Thank you Tatyana!
I visited Oriental Arms room at the Wallace Collection, and the quality/rarity factor and effect are quite similar, IMHO. Picture taking is strictly prohibited there though.
If anyone has a chance to visit Wallace Collection in London - you won't regret it. Also, I'd recommend browsing through this site:

You may click on Albums links, and there are over 2000 pictures!
So much to see:-)
and how about this: http://www.myarmoury.com/features.html

Tatyana thank you for the invitation. I would not like to start a thread about my work, just not me. If there is something in any way relevant to a topic then I think that is okay, Antonio is often commenting on the preservation of skills.
This loving cup is not made with a feudal monarchs budget just an officers mess so all the artwork is basically done in the wax to save money. It is also quite a bit smaller. The only parts of the design I had influence on were the stand scene and the regemental emblem on the lid. I hope members will find it interesting. Can you give any information about the scene on the shield?
