Swords, shield & helmet

These appear in the Goblin Treasure House miniature scene I'm working on. All of these were plain pewter or metal. The shield was a  Warwick miniature pewter, the swords were plain metal & are painted with brilliant silver for the blades & nail varnish for the hilts/ handles then with 'precious' jewels inset ;-) The helmet was actually a replica helmet in a thimble & was plain pewter. The helmet was found in Coppergate, York & is Anglo-Saxon dating to the 8th century.
