Looking good. I particularly like that your garments are so similarly cut. It adds to the 'from the same locale" look. Keep em coming!

Awesome pics! If I were to add anything, it would be a flag of your country.

We would like a flag. The symbol of Dale is a Black Arrow because the arrow that King Bard shot and killed Smaug with was black. So we would like to create a cool design for that. I am thinking a Green flag with the black arrow. I also want to get some leather breastplates made that have a black arrow on the chest.

Cool pics. I like the similarity between outfits too.

I like it! Nice sword, btw.
I love how legit you guys look. From today forth, I'm probably going to wind up imagining men in canvas with targe shields and stiff cut-and-thrust swords everytime I read the last third of the hobbit.
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.

Okay, my mind just went blank. What is the knife style in the top pic called? I like it. They all are nice blades.

It's a scottish dirk made by Stash David. He does excellent work. I believe it is copied off of one from around the 1600's, but don't quote me on that.

personally, I would choose black arrow on blue field. because the colour of water is blue...

I would have to check the text, but I think the background is supposed to be blue.

I am sure it is in The Hobbit. We do try for some authenticity here at the MERF LOL
