Author Topic: backsword thomas New Member Member # 333 posted 06-30-2002 11:22 PM                   iwas wanting to know where you can get a sword like the one museum replicas use to carry ,the wakefield.? this is to be part of a kit for 15th century english archer Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged chef de chambre Admin & Advocatus Diaboli Member # 4 posted 07-01-2002 07:22 PM                   Hi Thomas, MRL no longer makes the 'Wakefield', which is a pity as it was a good representation of that type of swrod. That said, there are better manufacturers who could undertake making one for you for a reasonable sum. Armour Class of Scotland has a semi-production model I eventually intend to add to my armoury, and it is less than 200 pounds. They make a first rate sword, far beytter than Windlass Steel., and it is for very little more money. -------------------- Bob R.

You may want to send them a photo of the sword if you still have the Museum Replica catalog, so they'll know which sword you want. -------------------- Ron Moen Registered: Jul 2000  |  IP: Logged thomas New Member Member # 333 posted 07-04-2002 11:23 AM                   thank you both for your reply. do you think the del tin 2159 sword would fit for 1475 archer ? the hand guard seems fancier than i would have thought.

Well fit pieces and almost perfectly balanced. That is a matter of personal preferance. The Hilt and Guard are very well done and functional. I only wish I had kept it. Oh well. Live and learn or dont live long. -------------------- Arik Registered: Feb 2002  |  IP: Logged
