He's obviously one of the Dunedain. I thought I was tall at 6'3"...

Brett, love those bows, and that Lundemo. I take it that it was inspired by Boorman's Excalibur?

That's a really, really good price. Over $100 off of KOA's price, and free shipping.

Could be something Tinker himself made and not based on one of the Hanwei models.

Nah.

The blade has had approximately 6 inches removed from the end

In the following images, the stock Tinker threaded tang is still intact at its full length

The tang is too long for a Norman, I think. Owned one of those, too (my second favorite of the H/T line).

Not unless you've had that fuller widened. I've owned two of those, and seen many more, and every single one of them has a fuller that's narrow like in KOA's pictures.

Ah, that makes sense, my apologies. Good looking blade, nonetheless.

Did you mean the blade was about 1.5" longer than your Bristol? I can't imagine 6" off the LS making it shorter than the Bristol...It should be right about 29" versus the VA's 26". I like that you removed the flared shoulders, I never liked that design. Overall the modifications ...

That Albion Prince is located only about two hours from me. Also, I'm sad that the pommel is steel rather than bronze. Good price, though.

In my opinion, these are the best deal for wood target arrows currently:

1/5 This is something you rarely see come up for sale: a Angus Trim/Christian Fletcher Ranger sword-I havn't checked the stats but it appears to be one of the Trim bladed Borderwatch sword. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171209747296&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 Yup, it'...

you will find that arrows cost big bucks! Depends. If he's looking for historical accuracy or quality traditional hunting arrows, then yes. If he's just looking for good quality wood target arrows, they're not so expensive if you know where to look. Quite a few of the members here (myself included)...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you. Hope your celebrations have been wonderful.

I recommend striking the flat of the pommel rather than the blade, personally.

I second the motion!
