My New 18th Century Hunting Sword.

Well my new hunting sword is finally finished, and my close friend, Sword maker, Knife Maker and Bowyer Mark Jones who made it for me brought it to our group meeting yesterday. This sword is hand made, a lot of hours and file work went into making this sword, and to say that I am very pleased with the finished result would be an understatement. It is absolutely brilliant, top notch. Mark I don't have words to thank you enough my friend.
Keith.

The Mark Jones stamp on the guard.

A Waiting Gift.

The letter began:
Dear Keith,
                     Just a few lines to wish you a speedy recovery and to forward a small token of our friendship.
I have not seen Grey Wolf for many years now, but he is a close personal & family friend. He knows me so well. This letter was wrapped inside a long parcel. On opening the parcel ths is what I found.

The hand forged poker Grey Wolf had made was swathed in greasy fleece which was bound with spun fleece. All was wrapped in leather.

The gift included these four reels of silk thread! As if getting out of hospital & being back in my beloved forest was not enough. This really made my day.
Thank you Grey Wolf, you really are something else.
Regards, Le Loup.
