Would anyone be interested in a rather large collection of them?
They are VCR

Nothing wrong with them, my daughter just out grew em and I am trying to raise some mad money AND clean some stuff out of her room:)

I can supply a list if anyone is interested

Halvgrimr

Anything in particular you are looking for?
I have a 15 foot had stitched tapestry that uses many of the scenes out of the BT (to tell a slightly different story)
I could send you some high quality images of it, section by section.

Halvgrimr

Ok, still doesnt invalidate any of my other questions.

Thanks Johannes

Well as long as it doesnt weigh over 30+ pounds I should be ok
Ive carried that around with me for some time but lost at least that much so far:)

Kinda be like fighting without armour in this case:)

At GW I swear that in your shop I saw some of the Vendel age raven castings.

I dont see them on your website and was hoping you could confirm or deny you have them.

If you have them can you tell me what they run?

Is there anything else in the cave that pin points a vague VA dating or even a culture? From the article: treasure came to lie in the Burren, an area never settled by the Norsemen Normally, Vikings necklaces that have been found have five to six glass beads , but this has 71 glass beads covered with...

INORITE?
My court garb selection is kinda thin these days:)
Might even go all out and get other Rus kit to match the britches:P

Halvgrimr

I need to check the finances but I think Im in for at least one pair of these too!

Your breaks are being wittle guys

Adric

Im in for 2 also

For a big step up , LokisLocker,com is awesome. All hand sewn, hand embroidered stuff custom made for you. She does a lot of the royals in Gleann Abhann. She os OlrunLoki here on the archive. I look at that site and all that runs thru my head is a sequence of Camric with the Right Said Fred song &q...

A 46 inch chest is a wet dream for me. Even when I'm in shape I still have a 50 inch chest at best

I feel your pain brother
Even having lost weight and a few sizes on the man boobs I still have a 56 inch chest:(

Found a pic (as if one was needed:)

(Brents question about the possibility of elevated walkways seems to have disappeared while I was replying) Not the walkways Ive see reconstructed in various VA LH villages, cant speak for the later stuff. IIRC some of the stuff I found on Hedeby indicated that at least some of the planks in these w...

Aside: Really? They had wooden sidewalks? There was one in 11th century Dublin, anyway: Peter Sawer, <u>Oxford Illustrated History of the Vikings</u>, Oxford University Press, 1997, p 255. I'm pretty sure there's at least one more similar find from Scandinavia, but I skimmed my books real fast and ...

Halvgrimr

Yeah, but we have Renaissance period painting of the crucifixion with the Romans in PLATE. The further away from the actual event, the 'less believable' this sort of art can be. I'm not saying that whats happening here, I am just saying Id want to know more about who painted it and a firmer when bef...

Whats the dating of the death of Becket drawing?

As long as that occular is its more of a mouth gaurd than an occular:P

Halvgrimr

http://www.tforum.info/forum/uploads/post-416-1239134007_thumb.jpg Wow Ive known about that fragment for a while but I never imagined it would be so incredibly ugly That reconstruction seems pretty counterproductive to what the piece (and occular of sorts) is suppose to do..namely protect the eyes!...

Halvgrimr

Bjerhof, I would go on line and look at what some of the serious Viking reenactment groups are doing for helms. Its pretty diverse. m just a example. Donngal While probably the most intense kick ass steel fighters in Europe (and maybe the world) and at the same time some kick ass blokes to hagn wit...

Halvgrimr

Yeah nice stuff
You sorta just hit my radar and Im damned impressed with your work

Edit: DOH, the name just hit my radar, Windrose I know:)

Halvgrimr

Vitus, i think i have a stainless boss
Let me look and get back to you
so dibs...sort of.

Halv

Edit: Turns out I dont..sorry

Halvgrimr

Honestly...I'd be way too embarrassed to send out stuff like this to paying customers. At the very least...use non-knotted / cracked wood that was straight, even if you didn't edge / sand it. http://cdn.mos.totalfilm.com/images/o/o-brother-where-art-thou--800-75.jpg "Sorry, Pete, I know we're ...

Ok, from WorldCat (OCLC): Brogger, A.W. & H. Falk. "Osebergfundet (book)." 1917. OCLC #5732080. This title seems to be the full dig-report, and is available in 27 libraries (Harvard Univ. has two copies in 2 different libraries). These include: MU used to have copies 2 of the set of 4...

Same price unless the handle is longer...then we go up.

You wouldnt consider selling just the head would you?
Im thinking 6 foot and shipping would be a bitch I imagine

Halvgrimr

Cool, Drx plates:) I worked in his shop at GW and used my store credit to purchase a couple hundred plates just like those:) I hadnt considered that construction method but its damned sexy:) Could we see pics of the entire rig and maybe with it on? What did you use for lace? I used leather thong on ...

Halvgrimr

Im curious (and Im sure after GW my butt hurt wallet doesnt really want to know) what you would charge to do a similar dane axe with only a slightly bigger head?

Halvgrimr

Where are these guys out of?

Halvgrimr

I gotta admit Vitus even though your a cool guy and all Ive always looked at your stuff and thought, "Its nice but who the hell would pay for rattan weapons?"

On this one I started to think about what I could sell to afford an axe like that!

Halvgrimr

How similar is the geteld from a french bell? This make the french bell very attractive... m While the shape is similar I would not say one is the same as the other. The double bell seems to wide and lacks the pole sleeve. The Geteld has a taller look and the center pole slips into the sleeve. Anot...
