Title: One for Nomad...Oh and sorry Taff one for you too. Post by: Chef Geoff on September 12, 2011, 04:25:31 PM After my dyer performance at yesterdays rally and with expectations of the much forecast bad weather, I thought I had better shift myself to get out and find something. Well I'm not sure if it's age or what but two hours was enough after a whole day at the rally :(
But A good result for two hours on the lost ring field. My first find was a bit of a coincidence after Nomad finding sword hanger as today I found a belt attachment to hang it off ;D And then came.... well what can I say but sorry Rob. ;) Title: Re: One for Nomad...Oh and sorry Taff one for you too.

Title: Re: One for Nomad...Oh and sorry Taff one for you too. Post by: Meatslicer on September 12, 2011, 11:50:03 PM It almost looks like the two are from the same mold, with the same broken loop and rivet holes.
Choice. Eric Title: Re: One for Nomad...Oh and sorry Taff one for you too. Post by: Chef Geoff on September 13, 2011, 07:09:24 AM Wrong loop Eric, but yes the pattern for most of these does seem to point to there only having been a limited number of manufacturers.
Here it is cleaned up a bit. Title: Re: One for Nomad...Oh and sorry Taff one for you too. Post by: tyna on September 13, 2011, 10:25:29 AM You're not old Cheffy.....just weak ;D ;D
