If the Detroit I of A belongs to the City, you might better hurry... just sayin'. Okay, I am going from nothing here - just that there is some surprise that the date of the armor so carefully depicted is from... what, a hundred years or more before the claimed death. Perhaps I am too cynical, but h...

Never wore a tabbard never will. I had my surcoat built before I finished my armour. And now after all these years of fighting and repairing it, it's time to make a new one out of wool and lined with linen.

For the gauntlets I recommend these. I have a set of them in brown leather and they look like a pair of gloves. Protection is great as well. http://ageofcraft.com/eng/briga.html Edward Edward....do the lames connect down to the haft with these? How much of a shock do you get with strikes to the han...

Thus we speculate, Herr Walter not being in any condition for us to walk up to him and lift his hem for a peek... Yeah...I don't know anyone who can speak with the dead...But I think you may be onto something. A long padded coif under the helm with a suspension liner maybe... Does make me wonder no...

So which Knight did in your helm?? Have a chat with Aaron Carter he's down your way and could probable help you out.. Can't think of his SCA name off hand

:bump: for the Resurrect-O-Thread -- just for the great shots of Walter von Hohenklingen and his Lentner outfit -- and his unjustly neglected bascinet visor too! 7 years and ticking... this thing's got a half-life. Glad you brought this back..I really got alook at his helm and noticed something odd...

Eamonn MacCampbell

Gregoire that would be great if they let you. The rerebrace stamping is very similar to a pattern I have in one of my grandpa's old leather working gun belts pattern book I have. I didn't realize it was herein the states. If they do let ya I would love to get a copy to make some patterns from... I'm...

Prior to 1286 yes there was a separation between the two. This first started about 1260(prior to that they all wore black with white cross) After the 1286(ish) date they all wore the red/white combo on the field and the back in their civies...The drawing previous shown is a good likeness of their su...

Eamonn MacCampbell

For the 14th C era the surcoat would have been red/white for all members of the military side of things. Prior to(and I would have to re-look the exact year)1286 only the actual Knights would have worn those colors with the rest wearing the regular Black with a cross on chest. The cloaks and out of ...

And funnily enough I have a pattern real similer to it already. I didnt think the photos were all that small. Who ever took the photos got some decent close ups...

OK Eff... here ya go. http://smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/benzophenone/media/DIA%20Armor/Cuir%20Bouille/20080523_0129.jpg.html I really love the detail to the hardened leather re-enforcements. And since I am doing a kit from the early 14C I thought it would be a great addition. Spent the winter mak...

Found it using Galfrid atte grene's sight. just had to go by years and keep changing untill I found it... Thanks Galfrid... your site is amazing

Eamonn MacCampbell

It was on flicker where the images were located. I have been searching his site as well since I just found a link to it again....Really sucks when your computer goes down and all the literal thousands of armour photo links I had saved all went bye bye....And I havn't found it there...must not be usi...

Eamonn MacCampbell

Hey all.. Been a while since Ive been on here and I'm looking for some photos that I had bookmarked on my old, now defunct,computer. Someone here posted them from Flicker and they are of an effigy of a Knight in Italy that was supposedly a crusading knight that had died there. I remember I had some ...

Eamonn MacCampbell

Wow...this is about the longest thread I have ever read...Been following it since page 7. It is extremely devastating to read in all that has gone on, and I would have just stayed out but I must say something.. Aaron...Some time ago you got burned by a Knight, and at times you have allowed this cont...

Foxman has contacted me about a helmet so we are going to try and get him a nice one: Does anyone have any good (actual) celtic type helmets? O.o http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=1552 Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it! Ok, so, it might be up to 1,900 years too early, but that's...

Eamonn MacCampbell

What would go with this helm? We can start building his armour based upon that I think. just about anything from the 14C timeframe Aaron...These helm were in constant use for a couple of centuries..I would say with the really bowl shape and brim being the way it is, I wouldn't go into the 15C that ...

The hockey shoulders gives your shape a wonky appearance...If I may ask...Why those instead of a proper aketon and spaulders to cover/pad that area...Would help alot I think in a proper appearance...

I would echo what Vladimir said about helms...There are a couple of guys on the classifieds who sell good sturdy helms that may be a bit ugly, ey are built like tanks, and they don't charge a lot for them...Also get to fighter practice and see what others are wearing and who made them and see if any...

Eamonn MacCampbell

I would disagree, I think they are about right...One of the flares seems a bit flatter than the other(or vice-versa) but the depth of the knee is good to my eye. They look rather nice and I think you did a good job with them...Just set your crease and clean them up and I think they will work great f...

Ok, this isn't *my* kit, so it's not strictly within the scope of the thread. However, the guy who it is heard me talking about this thread last week at practice and brought his rig this week so I could get a picture to post. He's an occasional fighter in our barony who primarily does decorative ch...

My very first war, 2001 Uprising in Artemisia, I saw "Fluffy" clobber some poor sole then straddle him and pound his head into the ground, all jest of course. Then someone shouted, "No Fluffy! You can feed later!" :) One of the friendliest chaps I've met in the SCA. Yes he is...Always has a smile o...

I think it may just be a loose girth. The second horse looks like they are still bringing it up to be harnessed to the other side of the tree. Just a thought. I agree with the loose harness strap, but there are already two horse side by side in the art work..Did the Greeks use a three horse team fo...

Eamonn MacCampbell

I asked a friend that is in the horse industry, and she suggested that the horses were also ridden. So maybe the horse would be ridden prior to the chariot race being run, or after. I don't know, we are a bit out of the "charioteer" time period now. Well yes the horse could be ridden, but I don't t...

Eamonn MacCampbell

While it does look like a stirrup, the horse is harnessed up to a chariot...Which leads me to ask...Why would it need stirrups on the harness? It might be some sort of belly band that has not been fully strapped yet...

But it does look like a stirrup
