Andy I cross posted this to my FB to see if anyone there might be interested.

AL

These gauntlets seem a little to pretty for $99. Am I missing something? No they're fine and ridiculously cheap. I suspect its that Andy has had an different but equally excellent pair for sale for 10 months and went as low as $200 and still couldn't get a taker http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpB...

Bump. All the elbow and knee cops need really is holes and straps and buckles, i'll do them for an extra $15.00 but its a pretty easy do it yourself job.

AL

People are doing without for themselves to give to others in their circle.

They would make a decent present for the right person.

AL

Al,
How much would the besagues be seperately, and would they fit well on a pair of your 10 inch 4 section spaulders?
Like the pair that just came in the mail last week?

I used to make smalle ones set with a pair of eyelets for lacinf directly to mail, I don't know if that would work for you.

AL

They are listed there as well, I always do.

Having built many a pair over the years this is ridiculously cheap for these. Some one should scoop these up!

I looked over the Philadelpia museum, and it's close enough for travel, but I didn't see any armor when I looked online at their website. Did I miss it? What do they have armor/medieval history-wise? Stuff like this http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16371 If you end up in Philly anyway...
