Sword! I Have a Sword! And a Staff!

Okay, I know I still owe some substantive responses to some of the comments on the "Old Time Religion" thread (especially [livejournal.com profile] amqu's!) -- and I owe the answers to the movie quiz (has no one both seen and remembered American Dreamer? -- [livejournal.com profile] athenian_abroad?!).

BUT. . . .

Thank you!

I needed some earth and water to balance my air and fire.

BTW: How is your wand these days? Have you done anything with it?

Niiiiice!

Museum replicas?

[identity profile] qos.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Not museum replicas, but the sword is modeled after on an actual artifact.

The staff is the work of a local artisan, not based on anything in particular.

There I go, being too cryptic again --- and not using the caps key properly. *g*

I know the staff is local and original to the artisan. I was asking if you got the sword from the company Museum Replicas. The hilt looks familiar.

Incidentally -- "shillelagh". ;)

those look like they would serve well.

[identity profile] qos.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
The listing for the sword said it was "battle ready" -- but I have no idea what the actual tolerances are. It has a nice heft, however.

The staff is a perfect height for me to use as a walking stick -- and could serve as a shillealegh, if necessary. (I'm sure I didn't spell that right, but I think you know what I mean. . . )

If it is battle ready that means you could use for a fight. a shillelagh is a good fighting stick

Meow!!

I am officially in lust with that staff. Lust, I tell you, lust!!
