Found a Hilt we Cast in the 80s

Back in the 80s we were into pattern welding and made a blade to be given away at a SCA tourney we held in North Dakota.   We cast the original as a lost wax gravity pour and made a flexible pattern so copies could be cast, 2nd chance if we screwed up sort of thing.    This is one we did not use, maybe a reject.  Imagine it with the low spots treated with liver of sulfur and the rest polished.




We should have a picture of the prize dagger all polished up on a red velvet background.  But have not seen it in years.
