Here's my brother, 6'2" and 210 pounds, wearing an iron mail head piece, holding his Scottish Targe of his own make and one of his Claymores. Although of modern make, they are a part of my ancestry on my Mom's side, when the MacFarlanes lived in Scotland. The Targe is of the correct 'period' for the Claymore, I beleive but of course the wielder would not use a Targe. It goes with this 'costume', complete with family tartan and basket hilt single hand claymore. I think it's called a claymore as well - such as used by Rob Roy in the final duel to split the bad guy.

that small rack with the Japanese swords are modern made, but are of excellent quality - they are all popping sharp. Taylor's sharpening business starts at home. No sense having an edge, if it can't work for you.
