Virilis and Ron!
Thanks to you both. I have three grandsons but the oldest isn't much taller than my sword.
Yes, the bow is a Grozer asymmetrical "Hun" made from sinew and horn. It's a dead ringer for the asymmetricals pictured on the Orlof Battle Placque. They have been found from the Tarim Basin to the Crimea-- the "trail of the Alans." The sword I designed myself, a prototype "Wusun Cavalry Sword," hopefully available, as well as the akinakes, sometime later this year.
