Re: Plume while fighting on foot

I often wear a feather plume on my burg, and most folks seem to think it looks pretty cool.

Re: Mild viking occular spangen FS

Can you provide inside measurements (front to back, side to side, and from top of ocular to base of bar grill)? Can you give more detail about the aventail? Is it butted, riveted, or welded, and what material?

Thanks!

A couple of months ago i asked Bokalo about the differences between his cat's ass gauntlets and the next generation gauntlets on his website.

Re: Looking for Quotes on a Burgonet (w/ SCA Bar Grill) & Go

Mattmaus did my current hat, the first one was from Patrick Thaden - expect to spend a grand or so for one worth owning, more if you want stainless or spring steel. Mine is in mild steel, which I had nickel plated to keep the rust away...'cause I am lazy. Much agreement on the need to allow for the ...

He contacted me when I bought these to make sure I knew about his willingness to repair whatever might go wrong with them. Nothing ever did, though. ;-) Hans

Re: Why you should buy from Mattmaus...a review

Lets be clear here...Matt did a hell of a job taking the pics I sent him and some vague, hand-waving kinds of "well, I'm not happy about this part of my Thaden" comments and turned out an outstanding helm. :lol:

Matt - you have done superb work, let us praise you for it!

As bummed as I am that Thaden shut down, I think the Matt has been able to build nicely from where Patrick left off. :D He is already building a stronger helm...my Thaden had a 14g skull, the new one is 12g...and now that Matt has begun to play with stainless, the sky is the limit to where he can ta...

I love my nickle plating - cuts maintenance time to almost nothing. A couple of things I learned with the Thaden burg...I had to have the brim welded back on a couple of times where it separated from the skull. This was finally solved when Patrick built a new brim which incorporated a vertical reinf...
