Museum Replicas Viking Leather Drawstring Pouch w/coins
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 10:36 pm
Hi all,
Last weekend MRL offered their Viking Leather Pouch with coins as a deal of the day (10 bucks!) so I thought to get it and see how it was. I had been wanting coins anyway as part of the kit, and for another project. The pouch is of a thick leather, accordian style, and has what appears to be a period Viking shoestring as a drawstring Something easily replaced, to be sure. The bag is about 10 inches round, and has a depth of 3 1/2 inches, according to the product description. The included coins are metal, and are the same design but colored silver and gold. They have a nice weight, and the bag reminds me of the scene in The 13th Warrior where a bag of coins is thrown to pay for Angus' death "See to your friend, he was a brave man."
The bag retails on the site for 20 dollars. The design is easily reproduced, and I think personalized to the owner. Here are some pics:
