[Regia-NA] Re: Bailiff Forge

[J K Siddorn]

Both my pattern welded sword and my silver-hilted Gilton replica were made by John at Bailiff Forge. Both are sharps,
but the PW is as thin as a thin thing and very springy, so his workmanship is fine.

Like Hrolf, both mine are around ten years old and I'd want to re-evaluate one of his swords before I gave it a clean
bill of health - ten years is a long time ;o))
