In my swords i do the blades,the handles and thenstructure of the scabbards but all the decorations on the scaddards (embossing work,interrasile ecc) is work from my sister that is graduated master of art in the academic of art of Rome.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
really I don't hundestand how my sister can have the patient for made this kind of plates in opus interrasile...it is a work really for finish in the psichiatric hospital......
the roman weapons are my passion and I love made them...
