I think there is a trick with rolling it around in sand or something. Maybe someone else knows about that one. But one thing you could do is wash it with super hot water like you said and then right away dry it with a towle and make sure you dont miss any spots. Then add some oil to it right away ev...

An armet with an gothic suit. Now that would be interesting.

matt9625

So its sallet or nothing huh. Maybe a gothic kit with a Milanese type of helm wouldent be that bad. Im sure people with gothic armour didnt just throw there grand fathers armour away. And if it fits then why would they make a new set? Its only a 100 years. What are some examples of early Milanese st...

matt9625

wow, that is perfect. And the price is right for sure.

matt9625

sweeeet. I cant wait to see em.

matt9625

What helm types go with a 15th cen. or early 16th cen. gothic kit from around itlaly or germany? I know the sallet but there have got to be others right?

matt9625

Anyone here do openface sallets out there? It would have to be stainless. And the bargrill will have to be removeable. I saw icefalcon's but theres does not seem to have a removeable bargrill. Icefalcon, are you able to make it with a removeable bargrill?

matt9625

Anyone hear from Lord O' Quinn?? I got those alum. bezubands from him and i havent heard from him since i sent payment. I know he's a good guy but whats up???

matt9625

I think they want to keep examples of quility gaunts posted up and they probaly dont want to say "hey we arnt doing this anymore" just in case they decide to take a commission every now and again.

matt9625

I think i read somewhere that they arnt takeing commisions anymore.

matt9625

I just wet myself

matt9625

Yeah, i felt it had a bit of fantasy but i like em. They will pass as gothic with the right kit.

matt9625

Damn, i wish you would of posted this a few months ago. I had a atrim that would of been the perfect trade. But the guy i sold it to may like to trade if you contact him. He was hopeing for a longer hilt. His myarmoury name is Ken C Im sure he would be interested if you are able to get ahold of him.

m m m m m I havent gotten them yet but ill let people see them when we glove them. We bought two pairs. The pair in the pics are a sca extra small so the hinges for the thumbs look a bit big due to the size of the hands. They are stainless of course. So far the sevice with armstreet has been out of ...

Finally at the end of the day I would once again return to merchant row and haggle that $100 item away at a reasonable $110. Alas, I will miss merchant row.........

You need to work on your haggleing skills

matt9625

What the hell is wrong with acting as if you are a merchant in the first place? If you go to a event to sell armour then its your right to do that and the people there should be happy that there is someone there willing to spend there time trying to make a liveing on selling what they need.

matt9625

Do it! I need some cloths for sure. Maybe something in a small??

matt9625

$1,000,000!!!!!!!

Na just kidding.

120$ and a smile

matt9625

you live only half an hour from me miles. How about we go half and we keep it on every other week

. It would be almost worth it. That helm makes me um... nevermind

matt9625

Wow, i cant believe people would think that.... Well i guess you cant blame ignorent people for being ignorent...

matt9625

You think it would fit a bit to loose on a 37 inch chest and 33 inch waist?

matt9625

Ive only got one game for sale this time

Devil May Cry 4 (xbox 360)- 25$ Plus shipping.
Overall its an awsome game. I had a lot of fun with it. I kept it a lot longer then i keep most games because of its replay value. Shipping to most people runs only about 5$.

matt9625

110$

matt9625

you should make a hauberk. Then we will see.... That would be to funny...

matt9625

did i read that right??

matt9625

Sounds like it will fit me great considering ill have a gambeson and maille under it. Im in this auction for the win now.

100$

matt9625

ohh and i read something about sand blasteing it would give it a black look with some sort of coating? Whats that about? http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=80721

Its from that post. Maybe i read something wrong.

matt9625

How hot would you need to get the oven to bake on veg. oil? How long?

matt9625

i like the tin idea I want to stay away from adding galvy propertys to it. Its mild by the way. But ive noticed that galvy seems a bit softer then mild steel. Would plateing it basicly turn it into a galvy hauberk? I had a welded galvy hauberk at one time and well....it sucked ass. The galvy must of...

"Scabbards are the new black, baby."

Scabbards are black babys???

Just kidding..

matt9625

Would bakeing and blackining a welded hauberk give it any rust resistence? And do you think bakeing it would hurt the welds? Anyone try this b4? Im trying to think of a way to make a mild steel hauberk rust resistent without makeing it icky with oil. Ive heard of painting it but umm... im not doin t...

matt9625

Couple more questions for you. Whats the shell made from?? And you said you have to tighten it all the way and you have a 36 inch waist, is that with or without a gambeson and maille under it?? And also how wide is the chest plates? I wanna make sure i can bring my arms together
