Cawood Sword Recreation · Guard & Pommel Samples – Feedback

[Vega]

We are recreating the Cawood Sword.The first samples of the guard and pommel are done. Measurements included.
Any feedback is welcome.

Interesting, but perhaps you might take a look at the thread at the top of the page posted by our late moderator, Fernando. It is titled 'The Scope of this Forum', and describes our pages as focused on the study of HISTORIC arms, which means actual vintage, antique examples.

You clearly are producing remarkable work, and reproduction arms do reflect serious study on particular forms and often actual weapons. However they are entirely void of the nuance, elements and character of genuine age often discussed forensically as we examine and discuss .

Perhaps if you posted actual examples as well as the research being done in recreating this sword there would be more viable grounds for discussion.

Not intending to be inhospitable, I am respectfully asking that you might respect the intended scope we have tried to maintain here since the forum was initiated in 2008. I am also wishing you every success in the work you are doing, and again, if you might consider adding historic data and research being used in this, that perspective would be more in line with our goals here.

Sincere regards,
Jim
