Do you happen to have a link?

Hmmmm, I wish I could find some good closeup pictures of Churburg's late 14th stuff. .....hard to find on the internet.

Does anyone have any recommendations of who to buy quality brass buckles from? I hear some out there may look good, but can be brittle and not hold up to punishment.

I'm finishing up a late 14th century breastplate based on the Churburg no. 14 example, and I've been wondering how 14th century buckles were typically attached to armour straps. Is there any archeological evidence that either stitching or a rivet was used to close the end of the strap that wraps aro...

I have been studying late 14th century English effigies in preparation for reproducing my own harness. I understand that a haubergeon was worn under full plate at this time, but am unsure what exactly was worn under the leg harness.

Hmmm, I wish this were a period solution...

Thanks for the replies so far.
Any personal thoughts on these vendors' products and service?

I'm working on a late 14th century European harness and am looking for vendor that sells authentic wedge riveted maille with flattened rings.
...looking for shirts specifically.

Any recommendations? I hear the stuff coming from Russia is pretty good.

Thankya.

The main thing I'm looking for is photos of any original liners and chinstraps for bascinets. I was tipped off that the Churburg Armoury may have what I'm looking for, but haven't had any luck contacting anyone that can help me. I was told to look for ... the bacinet of armour no. 13 at Churburg, pu...

I was hoping someone at the armour archive would be able help me out with some research regarding 14th Century bascinets. I am currently constructing a high point bascinet like the attached photo... This one is not intended for SCA combat. Unfortunately I haven't found any adequate primary reference...
