ps. I have a Facebook page for Rainnea (my company name) so I'll see if I can somehow link that to your fb post, although I'm still a bit new to fb and it often seems difficult to do thing that you'd think would be easy.
Rab, I found that after "liking" the Rainnea page I was able to "share" the photo on it. I like the way you did the baronial motto on the other, near-twin piece: You didn't go overboard on the engraving depth on the blade, with the result being some really fascinating visual effects depending on light and angle of perspective: with some it's easy to miss entirely, while with others it seems to be coming in a ghostly sort of way from within the blade. The use of graduated-size lettering was unexpected and "fits" very well. I'm having brunch with the Baron and Baroness this weekend, and I'll be giving his to him at that time.
Wonderful work, thanks!!
(No, I'm not going to mention what barony here. I'll just say he's the 13th to hold the title and that it's historically associated with his clan. The clan happens to be Campbell; but he can't help that, he was born that way.)
