    Sword Wall Display

    Just finished mounting my sword and shield on the wall. I bought the yellow cloth by eyeball only and noticed, when I draped it on the wall, it's a shade or two darker than the shield, so I'll have to try and get a lighter one in the next few days. Then, it'll be done.


    But, I just wanted to show you what it looks like now.




    This is part of my midieval knight's outfit I posted a while back.

    Cool display! The dragon hands really look neat.

    Does the yellow and black represent something from past times, or is that your shrine to anarcho-capitalism?

    Actually, I got the color scheme from my tabard (tunic). It's yellow and black offset. When I ordered the shield, I called the company and asked if they would reverse the color pattern so it was the same as my tabard (which they did since they hand painted each shield on order). It was just a matter of painting the black part yellow and the yellow part black.

    Everything else on my outfit is black, so it works.

    Here's a photo of the tabard I bought.

    Are you in the Society for Creative Anachronism? Looks nice and I agree the yellow isn't the right shade, otherwise a very cool display. Who made the broad sword?

    If you ever have the money and desire for a really nice looking blade, not that I'm knocking yours at all, but check out Albion swords. Beautiful work. I am more of a gladius type of guy myself. I am digging the color scheme. Deep Sea!
