| good idea, but not very practical, at least in the North Atlantic Section: All 6 of our champions at last years senior sectionals were underaged.
I'd guess we're not atypical.

| Try these - I've used all of these from time to time. www.kultofathena.com - a wide variety of things - good customer service. www.BudK.com - low-end swords, daggers, etc www.crownawards.com - trophies, plaques, medals, etc. quick processing & shipping - great place to get trophy plates for other awards (e.g. the little engraved plates you stick to the scabbard of the $450 broadsword for 1st place. ) www.acrylicwarehouse.com - great acrylic plaques, trophies, etc. Also good customer service. www.museumreplicas.com - high-end wall hangers.

| True, some of the MR weapons aren't wall hangers. And I understand that their quality control is better nowadays. However, the Windlass Steel blades (a company out of India) had a LOT of problems with quality several years ago.
I also had a really bad experience with them regarding both the quality of a sword and their customer service, and I am somewhat hesitant to order blades to sling around from them (stage combat.... really....  ).

-m | That makes the reward that much more awesome and can easily make it so you guys can skimp out and buy Burnett's. | |
