The pirate Captain Cervantes

I was very fortunate to receive this beautiful buckle that was made by a good friend of mine that passed away. It deserved a beautiful leather baldric to go with it -so I made this.
3” wide and hand tooled. It incorporates a design that my friend used on a baldric he made too.

A pirate can never have enough belt buckles. Some of these are rare and was made by a dear friend of mine. I be countin’ me lucky stars to have them!

Just finished this new buckle. You all might recognize this one as the buckle wore by Pintel in the POTC movies. All hand made using traditional methods.

This hat is inspired by the famous scene from the Pirates Ride where the seagull made a nest on the hat of a dead pirate.
Great hat made by the famous hat maker Jeff McKay of Captain Jacks Pirate hats.

Building myself a new sword baldric. The basic style and size is the typical POTC style with some flair and all hand tooled around the edges. It will be black and have all brass conchos and buckle. Should be done this week.

Decided it be time fer another hat. This one was made by Jeff McKay. He’s a well known hat maker for the Pirate community.

This will have to do until I find the proper time accurate bands and re-paint it that distinct POTC barrel color.

Finally found the right size barrel to hold my swords an’ effects.
Next I’ll remove the metal bands, add wooden ones and paint it to look just like the ones in the ride in Disneyland.

I’m proud to add this beauty to my collection of all things Barbossa!
This captain Barbossa sword was made for me by Tony Swatton of The Sword and the Stone - he is the one that made the swords for the POTC movies, Disneyparks ride and many more movies. Very thrilled and honored to have it in my collection!
My old Master Replicas Barbossa sword is now available to purchase if any of ye are interested.
