Going to Dragon*Con in September, it's like ComicCon but in Atlanta. I'm going to dress up (cosplay) as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. Part of his outfit is Longclaw, the Valyrian steel sword he gets from Lord Commander Mormont. Being just costuming for fun, I'm not too concerned with perfection, but getting close and having fun with it in the process.

I bought a $25 practice sword off eBay that's a bastard sword and the same length and rough crossguard as Longclaw. Annotations on the pictures.
