Re: Looking for my new helm.
I have a sorta fancy conical on my website.
I would like to move it, I am wanting to move all my stock at this time.
If you are interested drop me a note, I am willing to negotiate the price to clear it out.
It seems at the moment my site is down, I am sure it will come back up soon.

Re: Falchion SCA swordplay- an emerging style.
One of the inherent aspects of the form being discussed is a heavy sword. Falchions, per se, are blade heavy. Still, you will want a medium to heavy basket to get a heavy stick. I wouldn't use a lightweight hilt for a sword intended for this style. Really? I would have thought to make it more blade...
