its for a 5th century impression. my wife's grandfather made me the hilt etc for the sword. the blade is off of an old cas iberia viking practical sword... its all i had that looked right. i made the St. Vidi helmet and the shield boss i bought from a friend who got it from over seas. i think i want to make some lammalar to go with this kit as well as make a new tunic.

of your wife's grandfather into your work! ~ Makes that sword extra special!
