Interested in the kit. Where are you located?

Vogeljager

Pietro!
I still have all your stuff.
Drop me a line on facebook.

Vogeljager

Your idea is sound but your execution and finish are.....lacking.

To be honest I was expecting to see a plastic cored linothorax with a top layer of linen (or similar) and finished to a degee that would satisfy the 10' rule.

Best of luck with the auction, but I would keep working on this prototype.

Vogeljager

Can you do an SCA Norman?

True. For unlimited range you will need something mounted on an orbital platform

Vogeljager

For some reason I can't see pics on your archive threads.

I CAN see them on your website. Please, Please upload more product pics

Vogeljager

Do you have pics or maker's name/model?

Vogeljager

Well...I've been addicted to this site for a long time, about time I got a chance to contribute something other than an opinion

Assuming you can't choose from the previous volunteers, I'm an old school html programmer with some time on his hands.

Cheers.

How much would it cost to ship your loose plates to Canada?

Vogeljager

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope your health improves soon.

Vogeljager

3rd dibs!

Hmmm...for $50 I can probably afford to hire someone to "clear the cue"...

Vogeljager

You are right, Helm and especially guantlets are usually the sticking points to a decently functioning and looking suit. I made a pretty decent greathelm in my basement. From a pattern here on the archive, basic tools and $20 worth of steel. For those who are blessed with a patient armourer near by ...

I'll take 'em for $50.

Vogeljager

Sold?

Vogeljager

I'm interested.

I'll check back to see if it's still available

Vogeljager

Are these still available?
I'm in Canada too...but 5 1/2 time zones away

I think these are from the "lost viking" pattern

Vogeljager

$60 plus shipping

Does anybody here know how to make stainless look like mild or carbon steel?

I have a polished stainless sword that hass a nice shape, handles nice, and looks like it's been dipped in chrome....help!

Vogeljager

PM sent (and bump)

Vogeljager

$50.
I'll even pay in american currency

Vogeljager

Thanks, but I also have a 23" head.

I saw some nice ones on Lonely Mountain

I must look for a review....

Vogeljager

I am looking for a late viking helm that can be used for live steel and living history. I have been looking online and can't find much beside the awful looking, thin, knockoffs. I am thinking of a spangen or norman with a plain iron nasal and with the eyebrows cut slightly into the browband. I'm loo...

Vogeljager

These guys are offering a chain shirt for $95. Amazing deal!

I can't find any info stating rivited, welded or butted.
Anybody deal with these guys before?

Vogeljager

Colour me interested!
I'll ttake one when you are ready to sell.

Vogeljager

Nice Helm!
What size is it?
What guage steel?

Vogeljager

Dude that is a sweet helm.
I'd have it in a minute only I know I would get reamed at the border.

$200 is a bargain, $130 is a crying shame.

Just remember that price is not always an accurate reflection of value (see the $9000.00 Barry Bonds rookie cards)

Vogeljager

That is a truehearth helm and I think they are his gaunts as well.

Vogeljager

Damn. That's just the sugarloaf I've been looking for.

If I had a spare $300 around I'd test that curse

Vogeljager

Are these collars separate items or are they attached to the gambeson? I'm not sure. About the only thing I can tell for sure is they have some sort of fastener (toggle, tie, etc) to bring them snug around the neck. In the Mac bible, some of the collars are a different colour than the body. This is...

Vogeljager

If you look at the Maciejowski bible, most gambesons have high collars and separate padded coifs.
That would solve your neck coverage problems without adding vision problems.

Vogeljager

I'm interested in the Spangen.

What size is it?

Vogeljager

It's spelled AARRRRR!
Sheesh! Who let this guy in?

Nice kits. Are the blades based on period pieces? That notched back is pretty narly looking.

Vogeljager

We are in the East (though only barely) and our local interpretation is to accept thrusts to the helm. We have a small group and do little melee fighting, so 99% of all non-face thrusts on the helm are those that missed high and hit above the brow. At that point they are under the same calibration r...
