Let me think... I guess that's two thirds of our trouser-clad soldiers :twisted:
I have the project to put on a 5-6th century early irish impression aswell. When Ill be done with my 5th century saxon, 9th century breton, 10th century breton and 11th century breton :wink:

Very nice, Paul. I also like yout torque
Also good to see more civilian activities (done by men of military age). We happen to have less of that on most events.
Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - Paul Elliott - 03-07-2010
Jurjen, my preference is for civilian crafts rather than military, though I do have a shield and spear ready for when the clan is called to war by the chief! I'd like a sword, though, for when I do wear that rich cloak and torc.
Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - M. Demetrius - 03-07-2010
I'd like a closer look at that hand sickle. I've got that on my to do list for someday in the future, as a part of making bread from seed to crop to harvest to flour to oven.
Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - Paul Elliott - 03-07-2010
Certainly .. I'll dash out now ....
Its a generic design, not based on a particular British iron-age find. But its a very effective design with a nice long handle. Made by a local blacksmith specialising in the Saxon-Viking period. On my to-do list is getting hold of a rotary quern and grinding my own wheat, not quite so seed to bread as your project though.

Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - M. Demetrius - 03-07-2010
Thanks! I'll estimate that the "circle" is about 12" or so, and the handle around 18", with the widest part of the blade being ab out 1 1/2". Is that pretty close? Around 1/8" thick at the unsharpened side back by the base? I'm not trying to hijack the thread, though. My project will take about a year or so to complete, since I have to make the tools to till before I plant, harvest before I thresh, you know. There's always something else to do...not to mention the three or four months for the wheat to come to maturity. Might be able to get a start this Spring. If you'll PM me with an email address, we can move any other questions off line.
We now return you to your Celtic warrior impression thread.
Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 03-15-2010
That is a nice torque, a member or our group has one that looks very similar If my memory serves me.
Nice impression.

Nice! Is that deerskin on your cloak? Its hard to make out. I love your mail, with the doubling and leather edging. Nice.
Re: Show here your Celtic warrior impression - Virilis - 04-20-2010
Great impressions, Gioal & Paul!

Oh! Fancy.... Yelow tunic, deerskin leather shoes, Celto-Iberian Coolus helmet, Roman style mail, good sturdy shield. Just what position in the nobility does your friend happen to be?
