Tooled SCA viking sword and scabbard- !!NOW AUCTION!!

Thorgrimr · Post by **Thorgrimr** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 10:45 pm

Here's the completed SCA sword and scabbard combo. The hilt and pommel are made from glued and sewn stacked leather. The handle was wound with sisal twine soaked in glue, then covered with leather. The furniture is glued and tacked in place. All of the silver color is from being painted with Testor's paint (for easy touch-up).

The scabbard is hand sewn from 8-10 opunce veg-tanned leather. The design is based on historical examples (modified to be a bit simpler).

$180, shipping included in the US or to an APO. I gladly take PayPal at m_kreitzer@yahoo.com

Thanks!

I might entertain some offers- but I refuse to auction this for chicken feed.

$180.00 for the sword and scabbard? :shock:

Sorry brother but you are robbing yourself! Stop underestimating the value of your work! Looks great by the way!
Cheers,
Leo

OK, so maybe I spoke too soon

. I'm going to do this as an auction (but not for chicken feed- there's a LOT of work in this piece) which will run until either Friday at 10:00pm EST, or until I get a bid I like, whichever comes first.

Who'll start the bidding at $135 plus shipping?

If you can't sell it send it to your King- he's a Viking. So is the Prince.

Good suggestion. If I can't sell it by Friday I'll do that.

Michael -

Solicit donations to your gift, I'd kick in on it, maybe others too then you aren't out the work and the material

Vitus von Atzinger · Post by **Vitus von Atzinger** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 2:47 pm

I'll kick in as well.

Thorgrimr · Post by **Thorgrimr** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:30 pm

OK, we can do that. And I'll send it in the names of all who contribute. We can either do it by PM or by posting here.

Who wants to help give His Highness a cool sword/scabbard?

Thorgrimr · Post by **Thorgrimr** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:35 pm

I'll even throw in a SCA seax/sheath combo to match the sword.
