Make one for me while you are at it. Did we not see some of your mothers needle work making little booties for your treasures? What is the raffia that you have like?

IN YOUR PICTURE TO THE RIGHT IS THAT HIS SWORD IN SOME SORT OF A SACK HANGING ON HIS LEFT SHOULDER? IF IT IS IT WOULD BE DESIGNED TO BE EASILY REMOVED AND THE TOP OF THE POMMEL EXPOSED FOR GRASPING AND DRAWING THE SWORD PERHAPS THROWING THE SACK TO THE GROUND. GOOD LUCK

Hi all, I will post some pics of my Ilwoon soon. Yes Tim you remember right

, and will post also some pics of the the raffia cloth. Hello Barry, yes it's some kind of sack, but the pics are not so clear. Thank you

Hi all, I found also this picture from "De fer et de Fierté". In this one the scabbard seems made of leather?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND IN MY STUFF AS I REMEMBERED SEEING A SWORD OF THIS TYPE. I FOUND ONE IT IS MADE JUST LIKE THE SWORD BUT IS MADE ENTIRELY FROM WOOD IT WOULD STILL BE A DANGEROUS WEAPON BUT NOT AS GOOD FOR CUTTING AS STEEL. I WILL CONTINUE TO SEE IF I HAVE ANY MORE EXAMPLES.

I TOOK SOME PICTURES BUT THE WAY MY COMPUTER IS SET UP ALL MY PHOTOS DOWNLOAD INTO ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO ANY OF MY PHOTOS TO EMAIL OR POST THEM OR ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT IF YOU DON'T BUY SOMETHING FROM THEM EVERY 60 DAYS THEY START DELETING YOUR PHOTOS I WAS WONDERING WHERE MY PHOTOS WERE GOING. ITS ESPECIALLY A SHAME WITH FAMILY PHOTOS AND VACATION PHOTOS. SO I AM ONCE AGAIN WITH A CAMERA BUT NO WAY TO DOWNLOAD THE PICTURES INTO MY COMPUTER WITHOUT GETTING THEM STUCK IN ADOBIE PHOTOSHOP UNTILL THEY DELETE THEM. A FINE FREE SERVICE THAT IS

To be complete, your sword needs a sort of iron ring at the top of the handle wich contains cauries or teeth fixed with a natural resin.
Scabbard are rare, I know 2 in a belgian collection.

Hello Barry I'd like to see some pics when you can

The wooden ilwoon were used in ritual when there is the new moon (if i'm right) when were prohibited to use and touch metal.
