[Regia-NA] arms and armour site

[J. K. Siddorn]

It's a bit hard to judge as the photo will not expand, but I'm pretty
convinced that the "pattern welded" blades are actually the layered crucible
steel blades that are quite common now. They come from China and are layered
and etched, but they are not truly pattern welded.

The effect may look the same to the unpractised eye, but the patterning is
random in crucible steel and there is no twisting or folding involved, so
the layers do not cross each other at all.

Also, the blades are far too Bowie like to be described as scramsaexes.

Otherwise, the arms and armour seem reasonably priced. Who's going first?

Regards,


Kim Siddorn.
