Nice Katana - Shame about the photo
« on: March 07, 2006, 05:35:45 PM »
I kinda like this sword - Shame the photographer couldn't have got a better photo :


Cryf oedd calon hen y glas glogwyni,
Cryfach oedd ei ebill ef a'i ddur,
Chwyddodd gyfoeth gwr yr aur a'r faenol,
O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

If that sword's been used to cut hard targets by an inexperienced swordsman the edge would be ruined and it would be what Eryl calls a
"Well hammered old slapper"

Looks difficult to handle for sure.. wouldn't mind giving it the occasional wipe and re-oil though  :D

Moley - Nice curved shape with a fine leather covering. If I were you I would put in an offer ASAP.

I think it comes with shoes. You could give those to Mrs Moley and there you go everyone's happy.
Oh I might put in  an offer for the katana as well.
