METEORIC PATREM MKII

lemmythesmith · 26th May 2008, 09:18 PM

Hi everyone!! Here’s the latest offering from my workbench…. Another patrem, this time a gongo iras brodjol, I started this one on 26th January and finished it on 13th May this year. Blade is composed of Odessa, Muonionolusta, Toluca, Taza, Gibeon, Canyon Diablo, Campo Del Cielo, Mundrabilla, Henbury, Sikhote Alin, Brenham and Seymchan meteorites. There are medieval horse and oxen shoes, portions of a Persian matchlock barrel (which had green rust!) Roman iron, part of a medieval axe, a section of a pre 1813 English flintlock barrel, a section of a post 1813 English Flintlock barrel and pieces of flint and percussion lockplates, all told about 27 sources of iron from five continents!
The dress is Solo with a buffalo horn wrongko and ukiran with a silver mendak and brass pendok. Blade is 180mm long (my hand span)

Good work Lemmy.

You did the whole thing?

If so, the only weak point I can see from the pics is the hilt. The blade is close to excellent, and the wrongko/pendok looks quite OK.

Awefully sweet Lemmy!

....and quite a lot of history in the metals used!

I certainly wouldn't mind owning it.

Lemmy,
If you're offering the piece for sale, I would be interested... (hint! hint!).

A beautifully crafted piece, indeed.
Blade-wise, looks more like a Sumatran bahari blade.
