I know shot in the dark, but anyone have a knotwolf early period (anglo-saxon/viking) for a 24" head they been thinking of selling? I have one, but my ex-squire likes it more than I do, so was thinking of putting his head in it and me finding another one. Price is negotiable, I know they go for a pr...

With doing steel fighting off and on now, just combining my kits, so doing 14th century for my SCA kit also. Blackened Riveted Stainless Hamata - $350 - I have a 52" chest and waist and fit me fine with a padded subarmalis under it. I have the 6" of chain I cut off to make this more correct, it was ...

Hi folks, have a new one being made, but was curious if anyone had a used one, that would fit a 23.75" head.

Would love to have it, before war season starts here soon.

My Thracian will do nicely, but would love to have the corinthian also.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Yes it is, sorry, totally didnt realize I did not put that in description

Will list the 3 items, and then a write up at bottom for possible trades I might be interested in. $600 - Thracian Helm - Thracian I bought last year, when I went to full time Greek Personna, but I now have a thracian from Aesir, and I love it, though I love this one also, its just not like the one ...

Syrfinn

Right now its just sitting on shelf, cause who knows when I want to go back to it. But I was selling for $600, due to it being 12ga stainless top. So if interested in paying $600 for it, then I'll listen. I would rather see it used than sitting on my shelf. But also dont feel like losing money off i...

Syrfinn

Price drop on Ridge helm to $250, and deciding not to sell Thracian, since only folks interested wanted it for less than its worth. WIll just keep and use with my 4th Cent BC Greek kit.

Changing to just straight up sell of the 2 helms, have a deal for helm for trade with the B3.

Syrfinn

She doesnt like occular, and also she wants it to be stainless, which well yeah I don't blame her. :) But thanks, man I need to update my post. Right now, she is planning on using which ever of these helms dont get traded, till we get her one. So she isnt out a helm right now, and she doesnt practic...

Changing to just sell of the helms, got a deal in place for the trade on the B3 for a helm. Both helms are 29" outer circumference. They fit me fine (24" head), a little tight, but I can fight long bouts with them and be fine. They fit her better, and she has a 23.25" head. Thanks for looking. Buyer...

I'm probably about there with Nissan. I sometimes will strap tape a stick thats gone bad to get a few more practices out of it, plus also to make me work more on delivering harder shots.

Syrfinn

Johann knows me to well. :p

Syrfinn

Was going to try and make one, but running out of time, so curious if anyone has one for sale for a good price. I have a 50 in chest and waist, though it is getting smaller. I was going to form mine out if plastic, then mold everything then cover with leather, then add brass cutouts, like you see on...

Syrfinn

Was building a shovel for the Pennsic Woods battle, which I just found out I guess is cancelled. Will find out tonight, when I go to War Council.

But missing my greaves and arms. But had to check also the repadding of the new ridge helm, so figured would take pic of the Late Roman kit.

Syrfinn

I know we already talked, but wanted folks to see what one day I will get from ya, cause this thing is going to be a piece of art when done.

Reverse on metal, stainless everthing, but brass also on sides.

Syrfinn

Look at how many Watches you have on the auction. Have noticed a trend on Ebay, that no one puts actual bids in, till last minute. Only time folks by quickly, is if its a good price at Buy it Now. Its why when i do auctions on there now, I only do 3 day auctions, cause I know 7 days would be a waste...

Syrfinn

Thanks, Scott, I will.

Syrfinn

Sending you a message on this, Jackie, to see if your interested.

Syrfinn

Be strong, Jackie, and keep fighting the good fight.

Will send you a message, cant remember if you had my cell or not.

Syrfinn

Thanks for the offer, Clang. If I can take a rain check on that would love to.

But just got back from Asheville tonight, and the two previous weeks was 8 or more hours of driving in a day also. So looking forward to actually only having to drive 6 hours for a change in a day. :p

Syrfinn

I plan on using the heck out of them, and yes will post pics of stuff I make. Been to long not having a functioning armory to make stuff with, and tired of paying guys for things I know I can make myself, other than the welding part, which I am going to be learning after Pennsic. And if for whatever...

Syrfinn

Thanks, and was curious on the FB thing, when I saw I was off, and then noticed like everyone was off. Sent you a pm here, on FB and also to the aol email that him and I were talking back and forth on, for the past 9 years, just to cover all the bases. Let me know if you need me to pm again, with my...

Syrfinn

Sorry to hear it, brother.

Will send ya a message on FB, get to it when you can no rush.

Syrfinn

Let me know if the one doesnt sell today, cause I will take both, if still available, and can pay paypal immediately.

Hi folks, I have one of the old Spartan Warband Aspis shields, and want to get another for my fiance to fight with, and also down the road would be looking to get 4 more. Want to in the future build up a 9 person unit, with 6 of the Aspis shields, and then 3 poles or spears depending on scenario. Th...

WTB - Persian style helm. Hi folks, looking to see if anyone has a Persian style helm for sale. My fiance is doing an ancient persian personna to go with my ancient greek, and I need to get her a helm. Looking to get used, cause I have my old helm being adjusted for her, but due to circumstances not...

When I am serious, my fighting is part of my normal workout routine for the week, and work the routines around the days I fight. But yeah, normal stuff is weights and cardio. Plus pell work and bag work. I have a tennis ball setup to work on hand eye coordination drills, such as boxers use. I could ...

Syrfinn

Would not neccesarily agree with you here, Baron Logan. Just going by my own kingdom, AEthelmearc, we for a very long time did not not have shield rules. Then for a few years, the folks winning the crowns, decided to go with shield rules, in this case being able to span your shield. This went on for...

Syrfinn

Like this style. Decided a few years ago, if I ever won, that the Crown for my successor would be ran this way also.

Will enjoy seeign the outcome and also video hopefully of the day.
