I've got a couple decent Celtic style wall-hangers next to some antique
bucklers in my office.  They're a little too shiny, but other than
that they're great as decoration.  To the untrained eye they might as
well be real.  Karin actually bought them for me, off of
swordsonline.com.  I don't know how much she paid, but it surely wasn't
more than $25 each.

I have my eye on a bastard sword from them - actually made by Cas
Iberia, IIRC.
