December 19, 200718 yr I've never seen a blacksmith made celtic cross; seen lots of the cristopher crosses made all over---but never considered them "celtic crosses". Our irish Living History group had a stone celtic cross as part of our kit---we did Y1K Ireland; but it was a small one compared to the real ones.
December 19, 200718 yr I heard that a Swiss smith named Christoph Freiderich came up with the method of making a cross like this one that I made.
December 19, 200718 yr Glen that one on anvilfire does start to look like a celtic cross; the christopher cross does not to my eye. The large round bows being the difference.
