Holy crap. That belongs in a museum.

... But in all seriousness, that shield is amazing.

[Michael Cartwright]

Holy Shit Gerhard, that didn't just raise the bar, that nuked it!

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Thanks guys. I *will* entertain serious offers for this, or even a trade for something tantalizing made out of metal, be it armor or weaponry...

-Gerhard

[Nathan Hartman]

0_o That's amazing work...

[Jolly Knight]

Beautiful...

Good luck with your selling.

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Bitty bump.

[Fearghus Macildubh]

Totally unable to even ponder purchasing an item like that right now, but I have to say Wow!

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Thanks Fearghus.

[Micah Nelson]

Buddy bump.

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Ba-da-bump! You'll seriously never get a shield this details for the same money. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to get someone to make guige straps as detailed for this kind of money...

[Gerhard von Liebau]

By the way, this really needs to go so that I can start paying off my student loans more rapidly. I want to thank Congress from the bottom of my heart for doubling the interest on my $30,000 debt. They have done me and society at large a great favor.

Yeah... I'm about to go into that scenario myself, so the prospect is less than wonderful. Could be worse, though - my cousin, through a series of university transfers, managed to get herself a BA that cost her nearly $250,000 in debt.

Anyway, best of luck with the sale - it's an astoundingly beautiful piece of work. I'm just happy you didn't stamp a wolf on there, or my bank account would be in serious trouble!

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Bump! I'm very interested in getting this to a home where it will be appreciated. The only place I have to store it right now is on the floor in the corner of a cramped room... Cheers!

-Gerhard

[Edward MacTavish]

I really would like to hang that piece in my hall but right now funds are tight. Any progress on our project?

[Johann Lederer]

Beautiful work Gerhard! I would love to know your technique for doing the floral work on the one strap, my attempts haven't turned out any where as nice.

Good luck on the sale.

[Gerhard von Liebau]

PM send to Johann (question answered). BUMP!

[Johann Lederer]

Thanks for the reply...Courtesy Bump

[Gerhard von Liebau]

I had a potential buyer for this but we worked out something else with his down payment, so it's back up for sale! REALLY want to get this thing out the door so I have room to store more in progress goodies!

-Gerhard

[Jehan de Pelham]

I am tempted, for a special purpose, but I am hesitant because the person to whom I would give it tends to be uncommunicative with me.

[Gerhard von Liebau]

I wish I could have kept it around for Crossroads, Jehan! Though I may have to anyway if it doesn't sell. I'm about to start another shield, so perhaps I'll bring that... That be a secret one for now!

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Ba, da, bump! Someone wants this shield... Yes? Alas, I cannot get any more reasonable with the price. It took nearly 75 hours to build and $500 is my best offer!
