Re: Nice Customized Del Tin on eBay
very pretty but wish they would have posted a pic of the blade as well as just the scabbard
A gerbil on PCP is of tactical advantage if you know how to use it right.
This is my piece of list field and you can have it when you pry it from my cold dead hands(facebook, Lori Caelwaerts sca heavy combat list)

I've seen those DelTin 'Orcrist' blades before...very similar to the UC Glamdring in overall build and outline; amost leaf-like. I like what they've done with it here. If you go here: http://customswordandscabbard.weebly.com/page-9.html - think this is the vendor's home site, you'll see more pics of this sword if you scroll down to it.

I hope it sells for more than that. Otherwise I shall have to be sad.
Overkill is underrated.

Re: Nice Customized Del Tin on eBay
The problem is that a sword with belt and scabbard so highly customized in such a non historical fashion really limits the market.
It won't appeal to the historic minded and it won't appeal to much of the fantasy crowd either.
Makes me wonder if it was a commission that fell through or a piece made for his personal collection.
Looks like some really skilled work and quit a bit of time went into it.
I hope the maker gets enough money out of it to cover his time and materials at least.
