Subject: Some Super InfoHi all!!
This is my second submission to this fourm, my wife and I were at the Rennissance Festival in Milton Ontario Canada, and there we met a old friend who had given us some Sword Fighting instruction, anyway as we were in his display booth my eye caught sight of an AWSUM!! (my sp is terrible!) sword!! Why?, because it looked SO AUTHENTIC its not even funny!!, theseswords as it turns out, are hand ground, completely working pieces, that look soooooo good!!! they have this raw unfinished look which is what drew my eye!!! These are completly heat treated pices that are sharpend and fullly functioning!!! If you are a sword collector or enthusiast, E-mail me for contact info!!!

Subject: Scandinavian SwordsHi everyone!
My name is Chris Thomson, and my wife and I live in Toronto, Canada. About 6 months ago we did a day of Sword fighting history and Training, the after we went to the "Renaissance Festival (really good to go to if you get a chance!!). Any way we are going to collect some pieces and I am a tattooed fella, and I am really keen on getting a Sword design, BUT AUTHENTIC! (that's the tough part. I am of "Scandinavian" blood (Viking?) and I was wondering if anyone out there who are Sword enthusiasts could send me some pictures of some "Majestic Viking type Swords". There is a problem, through my readings, I've learned that Viking Swords were of the Mainly 1 handed design, I am interested in getting a nice "hand and a half style.
If anyone has a really keen picture drawing or whatever I would be most interested in having a look at it.
Thanx Chris Thomson
