I buy it here in Chicago at my local shoemaking supplier. They are extremely unfriendly to the general public but the are nice to wholesalers. If you do not need it in the very near future I can grab some for you but it will probably be months before I go.

Here is my concern about this. I am not trying to profit from the sale of Churburg. I simply had a photocopy that I did not need because I already own the book. It was included with the huge group of armour books I bought. Since I did not need it I wanted to find a home for it. This book is still in...

Talbot

I have a lot of interest in the churburg photocopies. Would a PDF or a print copy be generally better for people? I have had lots of people with access to copiers and scanners volunteer to help

Talbot

Doug, I just discovered this thread, after the auction officially ended- would you still be willing to part with Pyle's "Men of Iron" for $5 plus postage? (I always liked this book but my old copy is falling apart.) Also, check your PMs in re: the Churburg book, please. Klaus It is yours. just foll...

It took me about two days just to fill out all the customs forms!.

They need to computerize those forms.

Talbot

Mine must have gotten lost then as it should have been here early last week. Since you deleted yourself from the database yours was not sent in the US batch. I manually created a label for you and sent one a couple of days later when I shipped the international batch. Have no fear, it is on its way.

If it was I'll be a little more patient.

Please be patient. They went out surface. At this time of year especially things take longer.

THe churburgs are 375 pages.

Talbot

Those of you living outside the US will take a bit longer to get them. but they have all been shipped (UNLESS your mailing information is not in our database yet)

Talbot

I can probably do more of the churburgs. PM me if you are interested.

Talbot

I'd say 2005. Sorry, I could not resist. The Philly visor came from Chalcis and is probably Venetian. It is a bit of an odity even for Chalcis as it is more primitive than many of the other visors from that source. It probably was a local product of Negroponte and was probably made after the turn of...

That is beautiful. I can hardly wait to see it on him.

Rev. George has it right. It makes a pretty cool castle

They belonged to one of his friends. Apparently he and Polidor bought a ton of books together from Europe. There are a few that used to be Polidors though.

Talbot

I wanted to point out that the churburg is a photocopy.
"The Armoury of Churburg Trapp and Mann. A complete, very nice photocopy."
I just don't want to mislead anyone.

I recently had the fortune to purchase en masse 112 books on medieval topcs from a retired SCA member. He was active in the Midrealm armourers guild back when it firsrt started. If you don't know what i am talking about see the Best of the Hammer Of those books 75 were about armour (Including mint C...

Talbot

I did not know he had passed.

I bought my first piece of armour form him. Before Virginia he was based in Madison Wisconsin. He was open, friendly and sharing.

Talbot

Chef: We have disagreed on this helmet for quite a while. It may be genuine though I do not trust it. I have some information that I cannot share, which makes me suspicious of it. I am particularly suspicious of the mark. At the very least I believe it has been reworked substantially and that the ma...

Talbot

His scroll for the award was made in the form of an articulated spaulder.

Talbot

The pieces do not belong together at the very least. They are currently displayed separately. There is a fair bit of discussion about the authenticity of one or both parts.

Talbot

Shameless Plug! Check out my website below. My buckles are authentic and they will not break. If they do I will replace them for free.

Talbot

Throughout the time of plate armour a lot was articulated on leathers or points. These allow all the lateral movement anyone could want. For the harnesses that have neither the slots nor the leathers the roation seemse to be allowed by vambraces that are looser near the wrist than at the elbow. I ca...

Talbot

Doug: They can actually rotate that much? What kind of slot length are those? I think I've been doing things really wrong. The slots are about 2" on the ones I have made. It is tought to tell on the originals since most pics are shot from the outside. I have only seen a few from the inside. Doug

Talbot

While not directly answering the question of how much rotation you should get but in the 14th century, when the first full arms appeared this was apparently a concern for the armourers. Typically Italian arm harnesses from this time period have three lames-- one toward the rerebrace and two toward t...
