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:

"By the strenght of Ambrosius, king of the Franks and the Armorican Bretons."

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.

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.

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.

That is a nice torque, a member or our group has one that looks very similar If my memory serves me.
Nice impression.

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?
