Re: Bazubands and spear
Thanks guys. My one-trick-pony fighting style is basically founded on the idea that I will poke people in the face half an inch before they think I can, so that 10% might be crucial for me. Looks like I'll stick with cops.

Bazubands and spear
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of building some plastic (hidden) bazubands, but I have never worn that kind of arm protection, so I have a question.
Is it possible to fully extend the arm (think "spear thrust") in bazubands? It looks to me like they must limit extension at some point.

Awesome coronets & necklaces for Valentines, mostly for her
EvaJohanna studios have a name for coronets, 16th century "Cranach" collars and much other wonderful medieval-ness (alongside some cool, freaky steampunky stuff.) And just now they are having a Valentine's sale at a whopping 25% off for a few days... https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak...

Re: Who's making coronets?
See more of Eva Johanna's work (she's also called Baroness Nordmark in the SCA) at her Facebook page. Coronets, collars and nucleases for the ladies, pure fantasy and even some freaky steampunk stuff. I think it's brilliant, but she's my wife. ;) https://www.facebook.com/evajohanna.arts.crafts?fref=...

Nah, Sutton Hoo is centuries before what we usually call Viking - though it has been suggested that the dynasty were fairly recently arrived from Scandinavia.

My wife makes beautiful crowns, coronets, circlets and other medieval or historically-inspired bling like necklaces and collars. I think it is stunning stuff, but take a look yourself.

Re: Museum Collection in GERMANY (not Russia)
I walked into this place for the first time this month (I'm local to it).
If it's real, it's a *stunning* collection - way better than, say, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum.
So, although I don't have the knowledge to judge, I am dubious.

Hi guys, I've been away, but I'm back and looking for a helm for my new SCA armour. I'm going for a 600 AD East Anglian, but not the Sutton Hoo helm.

Re: How did the men-at-arms in southern europe deal with hea
1. Pre-hydrate. 2. Wear a linen or wool inner layer. On hot days, soak it (and wring it out) before you fight. Works wonders. 3. Always seek shade. PS Germany can get pretty hot. We get several days each year over 35 degree days (95 fahrenheit), and the maximums are over 100 F. It's not Death Valley...

Want a replica stoneage handaxe (eg flint)
Hi!
This is majorly non-medieval, but I'm looking for someone selling replica stone tools.
I'd like a European hand-axe (doesn't really matter which period) of sufficient quality to serve as a gift to a professional archaeologist.
Does anyone know a reputable source?
Cheers
