Don't feel bad, Sir Edward...I'm in the same boat.  My wife is afraid to buy 'the wrong thing' as she puts it; and since she doesn't know much about swords and armor I'm not at all fussed about it.  My parents, God bless'm, bought me a sword for my birthday last year.  It really IS the thought that counts...had I known they were looking for one for me I could've pointed them in the right direction, but they wanted to surprise me, which they did.  :)

ya i know what you mean. my folks once got me a "highlander dragon sword" that wasn't it's still pretty cool but wasn't the official one hehehe. they did get me a metal shield and a mace from Germany though :)

maybe after Christmas I'll order some more stuff from Alan if I can manage to not spend my money on Rev War stuff (like a Brown Bess I've been looking at!!)

I still say last years bazooka is pretty hard to beat presentwise. I highly doubt you'll run into two people who can say thats what they got.

Christmas List is the key. Even at 31, I still write one. :D

Congrats, Sir Wolf!

As we are in the middle of a resession I really couldn`t ask for much, so I got my beloved to get me a bad ass pair of sabatons to help round off my C14th kit.  :P

I`ll post pics as soon as I wear it all together  ;)
