Pnakotus:
Someone can be skilled and ignorant at the same time: he's the one who put up a website full of nonsense.
Pan Godlewska:
Sure the guy might be a great sword and scabbard maker, its just odd that he would include the symbol of the devil in an area where the word of God was supposed to protect the sword user :lol:.
However, this is not Christian Fletcher writing the page, it is someone who had armor done for them by Christian Fletcher.

--- Quote --- This dragon is engraved on the handle of my sword.The dragon was a symbol of Satan. The knight's sword was a symbol of the Word of God which is called the Sword of the Spirit in Ephesians 6....This is the pommel of the sword. It is hollow. The nut on the end is removed when the knight receives his sword and into it he places a lock of his lady's hair and a small scroll on which he has written the verse from Ephesians 6 about the armor of God.

This person even contradicted themselves here, saying that the dragon was a symbol of Satan and then saying that the pommel was to recieve a verse from the word of God. So isnt he saying that his sword is worthless?

Actually, there is no contradiction here. Devils and demons have always been a popular theme, and the devil's face is often seen adorning cod-pieces, for example. Why, you see devils, demons, and sometimes leud women (Sheela Na Gig) adorning cathedrals, in the form of gargoyles. Whenever devils were portrayed, it was never in the modern sense of "I'm so bad, hail to Satan baby" -- it was just a motif. It wasn't until much later that they got really sanctimonious about the devil, anyway, when they started speaking of THE Devil and fearing magic.
Ezias:
I don't really think this belongs here either -- sure the guy is wrong on a lot of things, but how is this adding to any sort of historical discussion? Now if it was asked specifically if he was right and what the possible reasons yadda yadda for teh dragon symbol was, then I think it'd be fine here. But wrong forum. Don't know where it would belong, but I don't think ehre in the Sage's Guild.
