"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Shipping over the pond would be too high; thus, I'm having it shipped to my house instead. I'll give it a good home here for you. :)

Its an interesting piece to be sure...I considered getting MRL's version but decided against it and picked up another axe instead.  Should be here in a few days...

I always thought those bar maces were the epitome of deadly simplicity yet brutal eloquence!
I hope you end up on Santa's nice list! ;)

Many thanks Sir James, you`re all heart  ;)
Let me know what you think when it arrives.

Sir Brian, well said, I couldn`t agree more. I should imagine it will have the same sort of affect when presented to the M.O.P.s as my bardiche.

I may even see if I can get one made, shouldn`t be too hard for a good fabricator to weld up a couple of lengths of angle iron   ;D

A guy made up one for SCA use and he said it was ugly but effective. Like a 1 handed goedentag.
