Well I finally convince the mortals at Museums Replicas Limited to let me view their wares. I swear merchants are so annoying, and being humans as well..............

To start I was quite impressed. Period clothing, jewelry, armor, helms, and weapons. All very nice. I was intrigued by the fact that they offer shields upon which you can paint your own coat of arms. What impressed me most was the fine selection of rapiers with matching main gauche (parrying daggers). ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL!

I was also impressed with their maces and war hammers, though the lack verity. Also offered is a selection of instructional material to educate one in the art of swordplay. Fascinating was the leather armor, a combination of plain leather, studded, and hides all in one. Very unique!

Noted was a fine unicorns horn. I would like to find the Son of Deep Spawn that killed the unicorn and hang him by the family jewels and lash him with a scourge!

I was disappointed that I did not see any bows, crossbows or even and old world sling.

Well Lords and Ladies upon my next visit to this plain, I'll have what I feel will be a great treat. Until then...........

May you wits and weapons always be razor sharp.
