This is my tumblr. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
(Just a heads up for anyone who I follow: I have a habit of going through every page of someone's tumblr if I start following them, looking for things that amuse/interest me. I'm starting to realize that this might seem a bit creepy, so I apologize in advance.)
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Moffatt Type XX Sword
Original: 15th century Germany or Sweden
The sharply tapering blade of Type XX form has three deep fullers extending two-thirds down the blade. The hilt furniture is steel with a cross-guard gently curving into an S-shape with decorative finials. The large pommel is a faceted scent-stopper variety. The hardwood grip is covered in black leather and has a pronounced central ridge with ornate bands made from brass
This sword started out as a CAS Iberia / Hanwei Mercenary sword and was customized to improve its looks and thrusting characteristics. The guard had arms bent in opposing directions and was changed to a more gentle S-curve. Decorative ends were carved into the arms and quillon block. The pommel was lightened and re-shaped with added detail. A new grip was carved, covered in leather, and accented with brass decorations. Blade shape and fullers were modified.
