The Armour Archive

JJ Shred

There was someone here making the lock mechanisms as well. I forget his name, but he was a master. Captain Atly sent me diagrams of it, but it was beyond my capabilities. I made the hinges you have drawn, but one of those chests has animal feet, whose claws are beat into the wood, then bent over ins...

JJ Shred

It's definitely a beautiful sword, but I'm selling stuff myself to buy a '61 Les Paul...

JJ Shred

Gwen - stop it! I am broke, and I can't afford anymore of this cool stuff. Why do you torment me so?

JJ Shred

Ice Falcon is a wanker. You order from him, he sends you exactly what you ordered, it is awesome, and you have nothing to bitch about. Sort of makes for boring posts on the archive, where everyone one bitches about damn near everything. Maybe he could get an order from Maeryk or Owen and send them s...

[img]http://www.knightsofstdenys.freeservers.com/images/12_c._mail_2.jpg[/img] This is the haulberk I added the coif to, not one that's for sale w/o coif. I am about 175 lbs in this photo wearing sweats at Alan Bauldri's former armoury in Elizabethtown KY. You can't see how long it is, but you can j...

JJ Shred

Your brother has good taste in equipment!

Sorry, though, all I have is well-worn '70s era gear...

JJ Shred

I bought a half doz. round wire, round rivet untreated (no zinc or stainless) five years ago. I attached a coif to one which I use with my Viking persona as there is no evidence that they wore padding. These haulberks fit me over a wool tunic, but not over padding, or a gambeson . They are straight ...

JJ Shred

Dates for Maeryk!!! The ones that can't run away!!

JJ Shred

It looks like a great helm, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat, except I just agreed to buy a '61 Les Paul (think Eric Clapton's psychedelic SG Les Paul in Cream), and I have to raise $1,200.00 for it and am selling guns or whatever, as I've played this guitar and it is "it". Priorities - I wish I hadn't...

JJ Shred

Good grief, according to our resident despot, George W. Bush, Pakistan is an ally.

JJ Shred

Damn, dude, those are nice!

JJ Shred

Nevermind, I got your PM. It's reasonable. Let me think about it. I don't really need all 10 however, but given the current political situation.... I'll let you know in a day or two.

JJ Shred

So they should fit a Norinco, right? The Eastern European don't. And how much do you want for them, either 5, or all 10, depending on price.

JJ Shred

Damn, I was hoping by the title that you were posting a review of Vitus himself. We all know he does good work, but perhaps you had some info of the juicy gossip sort to share...

JJ Shred

Are the 30 rounds Eastern European or Chinese? (The E. European ones have a "ridge" across the back, while the Chinese are smooth across the back). I'm looking for a couple more Chinese ones for my Norinco AKM. The ridged ones won't fit (I have 1/2 dozen for my Romanian AKM). They look Chinese by th...

JJ Shred

Cool looking stuff on your website.

JJ Shred

Nice harness. It's a shame it's big enough to fit a gorilla! I could fit in there with a couple of Puerto Rican girls (actually that might be fun!), so it wouldn't do me any good. It's truly a shame you have to retire. Money may be hard to come by, but if I where you I'd put it on a stand in the liv...

JJ Shred

I love the grand bascinet. What guage, type of metal, size, etc...?

JJ Shred

Bear Force concert security team.

JJ Shred

I don't feel like digging into that phone book, which is the ATF & E's rules, but a Curio & Relic license costs the same as one class 1 FFL transfer, so if it qualifies, and you think you will buy something else in the next 3 years , I'd get the license. As soon as I find a Russian Takarov 7.62 X 25...

JJ Shred

Federal Firearms License holder. Class 1. Buyer and seller of guns. It is necessary anytime you sell to someone in a different state. Generally an ffl holder charges $35.00 - $50.00 to process the sale. You would have this gun shipped to him, he gives it to you after you've shown ID and had a FBI ba...

JJ Shred

I just received the welded stainless coif from Icefalcon, and it is beautiful! The mesh is even finer than my "elvin maille" from MRL! It's well shaped, but fit a little loose around my throat, which should leave room for the gorget that goes under it. I didn't get to try them together, as the #@*%$...

JJ Shred

Damn it! Would you quit dropping the price! I don't need another helmet. I don't need another helmet. I don't...You are making this extremely difficult!!!

JJ Shred

Dude - you are a big guy! I'd love it but comparisonly speaking, I'm a shrimp. Did I mention you're an ugly MoFo too! But we won't hold that against you. I hate to see you retire, though. I've enjoyed your posts and learned a lot from you, from various forums. Good luck in whatever endeavor you turn...

JJ Shred

There's a fella with a slightly rusty one for sale here on the A.A. 10 minutes with some WD40 would probably clean it up. It's riveted 16 gauge flat wire, I think.

JJ Shred

Sending the money order tomorrow (Friday). How much extra to throw in that cute kid?

JJ Shred

Nice work, dude! I like your embellishments!

JJ Shred

Is the gorget stainless? If so, what size is it?

JJ Shred

Erik Schmidt is the man for sure. The Indian stuff is still "tube shaped" with a square neck hole rather than a high back and round throat. Plus the arms continue the chest pattern, rather than changing at the shoulder/ armpit so it hangs correctly. Plus, if you are late 12th-13th century, he can do...

JJ Shred

Damn. I ordered 4 pieces, and I cleaned out my bank account...

JJ Shred

Yes it is. Prey tell, this industrial black oxide finish, what exactly is it, does it wear off, can it be done to stainless? I know nothing about it.

JJ Shred

Penis-head! You wanker! Why are you selling off all of your armour, girly-man? I've went through worse, and I'm buying more!!!! Bwahahahahaha!!! Even though I'm "disabled", I'll beat you with my crutch, and there's nothing you can do about it!!! Because you sold your armour!!! :twisted: Hang tough, ...

JJ Shred

Gwen, you are getting senile - you're repeating yourself! We love yah anyway. But, too far away, too broke. Sounds like fun!

JJ Shred

Yes, that's the one I was referring to!
