Alright Russ, thanks for the reply. So totally negating my idea of modern wallachia for the moment, what type of transitional plate armour would of been used during 1350 of total western influence? I have seen effigies showing total plate of cuirass, arms, gauntlets, and legs and was just wondering ...

Russ,

Would you be able to show me a coloured picture if at all possible or an artist's rendition/reproduction of a mainly western fitted Vlach warrior of 1350?

If anyone else could help too, that be awesome!

Barrett

Athanaric,

Thanks for the reply. Will consider this strongly.

Russ,

Okay so going with a more western influence of armour layout you have described what type of gauntlet would be consistent with such a theme?

And Russ I have seen the territory, been back home twice now.

Okay, Thanks all for the replies. I am concerned mainly about protection, historical accuracy regarding my hard kit first and historical accuracy regarding soft kit second. I am using this armour for full speed sparring with a blunted custom made sparring sword to use in western martial arts. My pre...

Greetings, Laurie Wise: Thanks for your speedy reply! Sorry for getting back to you late! To Barrett Kirby has made a few bronze pieces but there was never a great call for him to do this.

Greetings, I understand this is an "armour" forum but I must use every resource to my advantage in asking questions!

Greetings, Audax: Thankyou very much for your reply. I really do love that weapon and it is feasible within the regulations of the SCA, (trust me, I have searched it) but I really liked the idea of the Romano-Spatha Celtic longsword. Also, about my roots, you are correct. I have decided that I will ...

Greetings, I suppose that they wouldn't but I more want to know, what type of weapons and armour would be used at the earliest time that the paegan religion was coming into conflict with the christian religion, but thanks for your statement.

Greetings, Thankyou very much for your very knowledegeable reply. I am looking forward to what information you can find through your research. Hoping not to nag, but could we also include the type of armour that was being used during this melding phase! Thankyou very much, and have a good day! Look ...

Greetings, Wanted to start up this new thread, as I thought it would garner more information than in my previous thread, asking about La Tene weaponry, though I have changed my interest to a more later time, (I aplogize for the changing of interest) to the time when Christanity and the pagean religi...
