So What Did You Get for Christmas?

Posted in Armory at 10:07 pm by Administrator

I pose this question to all of you who celebrate because it’s fun and because I like to talk about what I got and it’s only polite to give you a turn too :)

I got a mini cat trebuchet. It’s a small contraption for your desk that launches half inch kitties as fast as you can load them. I love it. I also got an awesome book on World War II, can’t wait to tuck into it.

For Mike’s parent’s I had a custom medieval shield made with their family crest. It turned out really well and they were blown away by it. I’ll tell you, that is one of the coolest gifts you can give and there is no one on the planet who would anticipate it. Here is a picture of the Turzo Medieval Shield.

So now it’s your turn! I want to know what awesome gifts you gave and received this year. Anything as fun as my trebuchet?

New Armory Blog Author

Posted in Armory at 2:26 pm by Administrator

Hi everyone! I have some exciting news, starting tomorrow A2 Armory will have a new blog author sharing some of his very unique brand of humor with us. I’ll still be posting about sales and new products so be sure to keep reading. I’d love to hear how you like our new author, he’ll be writing fictional accounts of armory products, a nice back story about how they all came to be. Should be fun!

There can be only One. No, Two. Wait, there’s Three…

Posted in Armory at 8:44 pm by Administrator

Most everyone has seen The Highlander movie.  At A Squared Armory, you will find three stunning versions of MacLeod’s Claymore sword.  Claymore swords, or Broadswords, are generally a two handed weapon.  They are long, broad and heavy.  MacLeod must have been strong to wield such a weapon with such dexterity.

 Attention to detail is something we pride ourselves on.  The handle of this Highlander Sword is not only wrapped with wire for strength, but twined with leather for an authentic look and feel.  The leather scabbard ensures the blade stays safe from dirt and protects you as well.

There is really nothing cooler to display in your home than a broad sword.  They are impressive weapons with a deep, rich history that should never be forgotten. 

Stop by A Squared Armory for more movie replica swords and weapons!

A2 Armory at the Museum

Posted in Armory at 8:45 pm by Administrator

A Squared Armory gets to supply some flintlocks and blunderbuss to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. The guns are going to be used as part of the Pirates of the Caribbean display. They are going to be the weapons wielded by Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). How cool is that! One thing I love so much about the Armory is the opportunities I get to contribute to museums, plays, and movies. There’s nothing better than seeing my own products used in art.
