I believe it is in the site's best interest to have rattan only.

The reasons are simple...
It will be a source for questions and comment and more importantly...

CONFUSION!
(please... not more confusion!)

The site is SCA kits, its only appropriate to have SCA weapons. Plus, this forces/allows the fighters to show off their best SCA rattan representations of the weapons their persona's would use. It's easy to grab your HE or MR bec-de-corbin, making one that is list-legal and attractive is something else.

No?

Sounds good. It also means I will be posting weaponless, as I dont have any pretty ones.
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

A standard list legal sword will be fine.

Yeah, but we are supposed to look good. My basket-hilt aint. Sheet metal welded together with a couple of bars.

Yeah, that ir probably what I will do. My gloves actually serve as demi-gauntlets, how they are made, so I might just not have a sword in there. Both hands on the top of the shield. I have thought about painting it, but never got around to it. At least it looks better than a turd on a stick.
