The Armour Archive

Murdock

Try selling it to the guys here. There are many who _say_ the want armour.

Though they seem to spend enough money for a MAc harness on Guiness every month.

Murdock

She says it's great and i believe the auctions are over anyway.

Do you need a mailing addy or did it have contact info in the auction?

Murdock

Saw the pics and they look good. I think that we can go with a thinned gague for the LH stuff. I'm looking through stuff all over getting ideas for harnesses. BTW i just got "Frennch armies of the HYW", "Henry V and the conquest of France" and "English Medieval Knight" from Ospery. they have the usu...

Murdock

Well poo

Probably willbe my las pensic for a while.

Rookie cops don't get much choice as far as vacation time up here from what they tell me.

Murdock

Hey Cet bring your proto types to Pensic i may pic something up from ya there. As far as other armour we obviously need Bascinets and kettle hats,mail, body armour and guantlets. Lots of the armour bits imo can be purchased from higher quality SCA armourers. Few make historically correct guants, and...

Murdock

Sorry took so long to reply.

$300 sounds good. Lemme check Ebay to see if it got bid on, and talk to the wife.

Murdock

Good luck Scott!

Hope ya beat the record!

See ya at Pensic

Murdock

Wow that was fast. Price sounds good, get us some pics and we'll probably get going on it. You gonn be at Pensic? ___________ It looks as if the language barrier is just too great with the Checz armoury. I still want to get some stuff from them but will probably need someone to facilitate it after P...

Murdock

It all depends on the threat level but a vest that will stop a .44 mag will stop a .22lr without a problem.

Rhys has already said it in this thread, Conn also has stated tons of documantation, usually plate would stop longbow arrows.

Might try Waldryk

Thats a real good primary source but,

like the man said.

It's a rare (if not unique) account. The fact that it is so rare is almost argument against acting out wounds.

Murdock

OHHH ok

Well then throw the thunder call the rain as i think Duke Gareth says.

Hit hard but be generous with your opponent's shots. Don't give away shots, but if it's pretty good, then call it.

You loose nothing in giving largess.

Murdock

Hey another neighbor!!

I'll probably be next door in the Fenix encampment.

Murdock

Keep it out away from you and pointed at your popponents hilt.

Be ready to block you srowdside with your sword. Be agressivly careful, dodge and deny targets when possible.

Kill them fast.

Murdock

Well the Fall is really crowded as far as getting our SCA cross over members to come. Plus i'll be real fried from the Academy for the first few weeks. The sites already avalible and some freindly groups are already hosting. More or less it would be a recruitment/ just for fun/ lets see what we ahve...

Murdock

Stoffel, i know how you fell about the knee fighting, and again i know how ya feel about the plate. Yes it's goofy and ya get a good deal of crap. I also hear ya on the falling down sillyness. But ignoring what is an accepted good shot is called rhinoing. There are people who can hurt you through yo...

Murdock

"More like 1618 or so."

Yeah i thought it might have been even later.

Either way no kilts.

Murdock

Also looks like there will be a TC event that we could get together at and see where to go from there, on Labor Day weekend in Tn. PLUS There is a LH site just south of Birmingham, they seem to be focused on Rev war- Civ war but i am gonna try to talk to them about a military through the ages type t...

Murdock

"While it wasn't that hard I took it for I felt that it was placed as it should have and the force was not needed as this was more of a show of style and skills as opposed to that of force. Now what struck me about this was that several of the obseverers and the marshal both comented that there was ...

Murdock

It needs to go, and the reasons (silly looking, hurts knees, unrealistic, ectectectectect) have been stated. Course it really screws me, i love to shoot legs and get rid of tall people's advantage. I get many of my wins by legging people and waiting. But it needs to go. Replace it with counted blows.

Murdock

Brennus you ok?
We missed ya buddy.

Murdock

Oh yes rev need s shoes!

Please help him!!

Murdock

Theres lots of really good info there, esp reguarding the auld alliance. Just remember these few things, the Scots were not the kilted Cave men you seein Brave heart and Highlander, kilts ain't around until the 1560's (i think, it might be later) They would have had equuipment from the French and th...

Murdock

Does anyone have any conflicts with the current schedueling for the HE class?

Murdock

Email me some pics please.

Murdock

I always thought of excessive force as a shot that actually caused injury beyond bruises. Bruises are to be expected, but broken bones, knocking people out that kind of thing is excessive.

Murdock

Murdock

I got one on Ebay

See Vincents thread

Murdock

Might be more like higest bidder gets me on the other side

I just need money to be able to buy stuff at and for Pensic. I have lots of armour i just don't need. So i'm selling some of my babies toget some money.

Murdock

My heads 23 1/2

Murdock

I read about "archer hovels" in one of the Agincourt books i got at the UAB library. The description sounded like a lean too, either a thached wall leaning or a simple piece of cloth, almost like a half shelter. Seemed to be mored to keep their equipment dry than anything else. Next note: Hows every...

Murdock

Sniffel http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/frown.gif i really don't _want_ sell any of this, but it's redundant for me at this time. It's all real good stuff, even the stuff i made. Most of it is near new, most of ya already have stuff but if ya wanna give a nice piece a good home i'd apprteciate it. ...

Murdock

"or even late period back country knight" Not trying to be mean here but the idea that "poor knights" in later period were wearing rusty, incomplete, 100 year old armour is an SCA myth. Look at even "poor knights" in period like Marshal or De Charney when he started out. They still have complete rig...

Murdock

has a Marquee that they want to use, let as many guys as can fit in it sleep in it; keep it closed during the day so it's not immediately apparent who or how many people occupy the tent and just say that the Quartermaster or someone who *should* have a big tent lives in it." That was more or less my...

Murdock

i'll be there
