Merry Ho-ho's Pitbull!

I actually would prefer trades on this one..... you still have any interest in that dancer's outfit?

man gota find out what kinda bear he drinks. Bear tends to leave a bitter after taste unless chased with a .357 or larger. BEER on the other hand might help make a buddy...... Now if this man actually does drink bear..... I'm not sure I'd want him to take notice no matter what kind of toys he has....

Assuming you can't put a weightlifter belt on the person under the globose to satisfy kidney requirements....

Thanks for the heads up on the giveaway. You do realize this looks like one of the East Indian decorator helms that are not SCA combat safe? This could be converted to a decent fencing helmet though.

Bump for X-mas..... Maybe this is the helmet someone *wished* was in their stocking...

Have a merry ho-ho

It has been observed in the past that drama from Ukrainian Armouries splitting up or former workers angry over various things has leaked onto the forum from time to time. This could be a legitimate gripe about non delivery as well. Immortal Past, try to understand that for your US customers the paym...

I received these today. There was something I was unaware of that delayed shipping and James refunded shipping. Still 5 of 5 in my book. I'll toss the $ he refunded me back when the sabbatons are done. Now I know there's been long running jokes about Pens, rulers & other odds & ends being in...

Well.... Illusion sells them new for $375 + Shipping + 6 month wait. This one has seen very little use, has no dents but could use a buffing. So if Paypal only I'd look for $325 + shipping. I really do prefer trades though cause I have an excess of gear I can't use for either of my kits. I always se...

If I was welding it....

I would use E7018 low hydrogen 3/32" or 1/8" rod at 85 amps If the piece had only minimal surface prep I would consider using E6010 for higher penetration.

I have been impressed with the work from Two Ravens Armoury...

PatternWeld SURELY you arent addressing a concern despite showing ZERO interest or intention of buying this piece are you? I mean, I am pretty sure it was you that defined that as trolling in another thread. And pulling the drama from another thread isn't trolling? C'mon Halv I'd like to believe yo...

Ok.... its too close to x-mas so I am going to remove the helmet from sale. I'll put it up again sometime after new year. It will give me time to refurbish, blacken and re-assemble some other 14th century armour bits to offer with it as a kit.

Thanks for looking & overlooking the drama.

Thats because I have a pair of flannel pants stuck up in the helmet to take photo's. It is unpadded. If that's the case, when the helmet sits down where it should, the eyes will be ABOVE the cutout and grill, no? I'm sorry I didn't address this question before. With a bascinet of this shape, it's s...

I actually had to take a good portion of today finishing a hand sewn cased gorget in order to take a picture WITH a gorget. The others I had here have been given away to loaner gear weeks ago... I also had to repad the helm in order to get it to sit right. I was only trying to show the helmet and ne...

PatternWeld

Swansman No apology needed man.... Riveting bits on also never really looks right. Far better result and time savings to nab a welded top from Ironmonger or RFH and add a new riveted bottom to it in that case. The helm is a still serviceable, refurbished piece of armour nostalgia. If major rework ne...

PatternWeld

Are you willing to put a return Guarantee on that? If someone buys that helm and it fails, will you take it back? I absolutely money back guarantee that properly padded & worn with a standard gorget, this helmet is fine, it will pass marshall inspection in ANY SCA kingdom. It fit well before I ...

PatternWeld

Bruno,

Let me settle the lil cr*pstorm thats arisen before I consider pulling parts off it. Also since this helmet is set up with an extra bar inside, that part of that aventail is attached to, I doubt it would fit another helmet without taking it off the brand new leathers.

PatternWeld

Swansman, If that was the case it'd be far better to retire the helmet and build a new one from scratch. Welding on bits never looks right and more often than not is actually dangerous from a safety perspective. Welds in thinner metal, especially flux core wire & Gass welding that isn't done by ...

PatternWeld

Sasha & Tomburr, I respect your view and can see it from the safety concern prospective but understand the kind of trolling Irish has pulled before. It got my hackles WAY UP. If you feel my reaction is overmuch and boorish, I am sorry I diminished your opinion of me. I will for sure re-pad the h...
