Re: officers boots
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police still use the Srathconer boot. Our lad found his pair in a army surplus type shop in Canada while we were on holiday. Cost him about £100 they were brand new. Can try and find the shop if you want to try. With postage to Europe I don't think it would be to bad?

Re: Proto-Mortuary and Basket Hilt pics (not for sale)
You should consider going into business. Swords for the 17th century which are good are few and far between. At a recent event I did not see one sword seller in the traders row. I think demand is there for a simple tuck at a fair price. It needs doing!

I would like to hear what others have to say, Or if you do make for a other period could you make for the 17th Ce...

Only found this today but had heared that Steve had passed away. We are sorry to have missed his funeral. Steve married us in a 17th century service at the Commandry in the high days of the Worcester Millita. We will mourn his passing but take comfort in the memories of that time. Another soldier ma...
