I'd like to have a proper shield and sword above my fireplace any ideas on price realistic looking set? I'd wager pretty expensive.

Do you live in a castle?

A genuine historical sword or a reproduction/modern one?
What style, historical era or fictional/fantasy?

Well a old one gonna be mega bucks but modern replica. Not stainless steel jobbie for £50 but proper forged and hammered.

Yes I am considerble richer than you, old sport pip pip. Jolly good show what what. Rather.

Why not post a picture of what you want.
There's literally unlimited combinations of shield and sword?

Me I'd have a Roman scutum and gladius.

Look on the Armourclass website, they make swords for reenactors as well as sharps. Based in Glasgow.

Did you just assume both the gender and race of the poster? Check your thinking!

Modern replica swords can cost £2K for a well made museum quality one, so "modern replica" doesn't rule out "big bucks". That's for a plain sword, not a fancy sword with elaborate decorations in gold and gems to display your wealth.

I think you'd need to narrow things down a bit first. There have been a lot of swords and a lot of shields. Obviously you're after a one-handed sword (due to the shield), but what time period and what location?

Where's your telly gonna go? Also, will you get a good view of both your weaponry and your new telly location from the corner sofa?
