1. Nice, medieval-style Scottish claymore, from before “claymore” became synonymous with basket-hilt hand-guards. A reproduction, sure — the sheen on the metal, plus the perpendicular cross-guards (period ones usually had up-swept guards) say this is a modern recreation. I wouldn’t take it into battle, but I certainly wouldn’t want it swinging my direction, either!

   Good find!

      1. I begged forgiveness…

3. I know the feeling, here in the PNW I had a pretty good haul last year. I started an entire antique wrench collection for $10, plus some other useful tools cheap.
   My only miss was spending a buck on what I thought was a brick set and turned out to be a carpet tool.

4. Sword looks like a prop reproduction from Braveheart.
   I’m almost sure of it.

   If absolutely necessary, you could probably get one good swing out of it.

5. I just stopped at a yard sale last weekend. I was looking for cast iron. Got a few hand tools & a 1950s split bamboo fly rod & a bunch of flies. I don’t fly fish.

6. when you start dressing up like the “Highlander” we will worry… sometimes you score at yardsales. in 2010 I scored about a grand worth of reloading stuff for $40…

   1. damn you… LOL

7. Nice two-handed claymore. No scabbard, eh? Probably used at rennaisance festivals, I’m guessing. Needs a dirk to go with it. Then hang them over the mantle. Bet you’d look better in a kilt now than 5 years ago…
