PERSONAL ACCESSORIES
Bone Combs For the fastidious Anglo Saxon or Viking, based on finds from Jorvik and accurately made to your specification. Up to 6" long is possible, with or without a matching case. The decoration will be to your design and unique to your comb. Usually we use copper rivets but iron is an alternative. Because of the number of hours involved in making these combs they are not cheap but they will be the envy of everyone and a real talking point for the public. They also make a perfect gift for the Viking who has everything. Prices start at £45.00 for a 4", simple, uncased but working comb. Occasionally we have (new) combs with damaged teeth, from lO% off. They look like finds.	price according to size
