Late roman spatha\'s with stripe pattern
#18
Quote:I personally only know of two craftsmen in Europe who could make a true Roman type pattern welded blade.

Patrick Barta was the other I know of, after Hector Cole. Patrick though has one serious flaw - his waiting list. Last time I heard it was 2 years.

If you really want a pattern welded sword (or any other for that matter), it will be much cheaper to go direct to Hector, rather than through Holger. The finish on the grip may not be so fine, but it will be perfectly historically accurate.
