New traveler to the forum
« on: 2014-12-05, 19:32:49 »
Hello all, I'm Tim and I love the medieval period and especially knights. I'm in the process of reading a knights own book of chivalry. I do try to live my life by the knightly virtues as best I can. I do go to a bunch of ren faires, I have my own armour, am big into swords about to order my first albion actually. I've been training in the art of sword fighting for a couple months now. I'm also in the army and when I come back from deployment I joining the SCA and going and fighting in plenty of events. Im also from Northeast PA right around the scranton area. Looking forward to meeting you guys and one day maybe even joining the order!

Welcome!

You ever make it down to the Pennsylvania RenFaire in Manheim? I usually try to make it out there at least once or twice a year.

Welcome Tim.

Which Albion sword are you thinking about? My own love of the form and design of swords was magnified significantly by purchasing my first Albion.

Unless you'd rather not say, what's your MOS? Just curious.
