Re: Any Interest in Small Scale Armour?
I thought this thread would be about armor for tiny people. Disappointed.

FS: Long SS Aventail
Purchased from weldedchainmail.com, size Long, stainless steel aventail for $150 plus shipping. There are no missing links but it has seen some use, which may have weakened some of the welds. Hence the discount.

Re: BotN at MMA event?
Point of order. Battle of the Nations is an event, not a style of fighting. You might call it HMB or ACL or IMCF, as those are the three main organizations hosting the revival of medieval tournament combat of this kind at the moment.
Just encouraging clarity. Carry on.

Re: Experience wanted: Ukraine Shipping
From the same sender in Ukraine I've had packages arrive within a few weeks, and one that got caught in US Customs that took six weeks to arrive. Customs will tell you nothing about the state of your package. They don't even track it. They're done with it when they're done with it and you have very ...

I really wanted to build a whole kit around this helmet, but I need to focus on other pursuits. I particularly like the profile. This helm has never been used.

I'll drop it down to $950, shipping included. Best I can do. I'll build a kit for it one day, so I don't mind keeping it, but if someone really wants this style of helm this is a good price.

Re: BotN/ACL armourer needed
For a helm I recommend Aesir Metalwyrks. For weapons, BKS through Icefalcon. Shoulders and arms, take your pick. If you can afford spring stainless, it's ideal but not necessary. A lot depends on your level of physical fitness.
