Re: FS: Churburg S18 cuirass

I'm going to get sizes today. Demi's were sold locally about 5 minutes after I posted this, so sorry about that.

I really don't know who made the cuirass, my ex wife bought it as a christmas gift one year off ebay.

Re: FS: Churburg S18 cuirass

Actually...everything in that pic is for sale except the shield and helm. The arms are Viking Leatherworks, I'd take $40...the legs, I don't know who made them but I'd take $50 for them, ...all plus shipping of course

I've been working on getting a full version of this suit for a while (currently only own the cuirass). Best date I've heard for it is 1410-1420.

As far as I know, no one knows who it was made for or when.

since I started fighting I haven't been to a doctor since who didn't want me to never fight again (granted, I broke my back, but hey, a year later and I'm finally able to fight again).

Need a gaelic translation

forgive me for asking, but I figured someone here could tell me the correct way to say it.

I need a translation for "the bear" as a descriptive name as in Belado the bear. Or bear like or anything like that.

Thank you.

most definitely check out your state Agriculture Agency before you start branding anything. Use of another's brand is Theft of Cattle and is a felony at least in the great state of Louisiana.
