Swansman,

The breastplate is sold.

WaaaghBoss' post made me think that there might be a misinterpretation about the waist dimension. The measurement was made with the measuring tape following along the curvature of the inside from edge to edge, -not- straight across from edge to edge. The dimension taken from edge to edge with the me...

Thanks for the replies, guys! Yeah, I hear you Ursus. That's why I never got into making armour, etc professionally myself was because of the amount of work going into making it, as well as running the business end to boot with not that big of a financial return for the effort.

:bump: I have a couple of questions. Apparently there is an SCA armour classifieds/want ads page on facebook. In other folk's opinion, is there a better chance of selling this hauberk over the facebook site than there is here? I'd think that the Armour Archive would be the best site to sell stuff, j...

Good luck on your recovery! I've worked in manufacturing most of my life, and I've seen a few of this type of accident before, unfortunately. The last one was about two years ago when a guy lost some of his pickers on an old cincinnati 300 ton press brake. Apparently he zoned out while forming somet...

My head is 23". I don't see any problem with the helm fitting a head 1/2" smaller at all.

Heh, I forgot to mention that...

It's mild.

I went to a seminar Clements held in San Francisco around 10+ years ago. I think it was the guys at Swordforum who hosted it If I recall correctly. ..... This is exactly the one I was referring to earlier. At Livermore. East of SF a bit. Put on by Brian Price and the Schola St. George. It was a dif...

I went to a seminar Clements held in San Francisco around 10+ years ago. I think it was the guys at Swordforum who hosted it If I recall correctly. Clements was doing the same kind of stuff there that what's been described before. He clocked two guys in the head with his waster, one hard enough that...

I still have this A&A pollaxe with custom buttspike for sale: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=75202&sid=237dbb537be3a19a2d2cba0da4b56a74 The price I am asking is still $420.00 + S/H. I think that this would fit the bill for medieval reenactment. I can't believe that the curren...

Not yet. There are several people who are in line however. PM me if you are interested.

Oil is not the only reason for the materials price increase. The demand for raw materials is increasing because the developing nations such as India and China are consuming larger and larger amounts each year. Ironically, the U.S. consumer is partly responsible for the increase, by the fact that the...

If someone tried to PM me, please do so again because I just had the PM window pop up momentarily, and it was blank.

Argh! I got told 'no more armour' but if those fit me I want them. Size? :) They are a "medium". When I had these made, Brent told me that he only makes one size, and this is it. The Anshelm gauntlets page will give you a better idea of the size. My hands are approx. the same measurements as on the...

For sale are two St. Petersburg Figures. (boys don't play with "dolls", they play with "action figures"! :lol: ) These photos do not do these figures justice. You have to see them in person to really appreciate the detail that these have. The first figure is 2 1/2" tall and 4.1" tall overall to poin...

The book arrived in perfect shape. Steve - you could have shipped an egg packed like that! :wink: I appreciate the extra effort. Nice addition to the ever-expanding library... if I can ever pry it out of my wife's hands, I'll get to read it! Seems she's getting into the 15th C at least as deep as I...

Thanks for the advice so far, guys. I checked DSL. What's good about them is they'll ship any size-anywhere, but it'll be over $300.00 to get it to the place it needs to go.

At that price, You'd think that I am trying to send a bunch of stuff to Gilligan's Island!

Steve_A

Steve glad you got your price. i do not know about england, but i shipped a longsword to Austrailia in a single rifle case with ins. and customs. it was over 250.00 via UPS. Mike UPS is expensive, that's why I want to stay away from them if I can help it. In my past experience, some of the packages...

Steve, you always did do perty stuff. But DAYUM. I mean... wow. Very sexy. Effingham I didn't make these, Tom Huegenin of All Saints Armoury did. I don't know if he is even in the business anymore. If he isn't doing it already, he should turn this kind of work out in spring steel. Once everybody ha...
