Christmas
2003 was very special for me. My husband had
been wanting to get me something very
special for a long time, an exact and
authentic sword just like the one used by my
25th great-grandfather, Somerled, Lord of
the Isles in 12th century Scotland. I had
finished opening all my gifts when my
husband and son announced that they had
forgotten one. They left the room and
shortly returned carrying a huge wooden box
between them, which they presented to me. I
pulled away the Royal Blue Satin to reveal
the sword of my dreams! This isn't a play
sword, it's the real thing, capable of
taking a man's head off. To say that I was
speechless is an understatement. This sword
will be mounted in a prominent spot and will
hold pride of place.
This is the
first, original Somerled sword made by Thomas Yeudall. It is now
available for purchase, but mine will be marked in his archives as the
original.

This
sword was forged by the Master Sword smith
Thomas Yeudall of Claymore Armoury,
Hurlford, By Kilmarnoch, Ayrshire, Scotland,
KA1 5HY.
If
you would like a sword forged by Thomas
Yeudall send him a letter. Keep in mind that
his swords are not cheap imitations used for
re-enactments. These are the real thing,
made with the best steel, and will cost you
anywhere from £350 to thousands of
£££'s. Well worth the price for a sword
of Master Craftsmanship.
