Val those wont fit in a flat rate box so I'm expecting around $12-15 for parcel post Make it an even $40 with shipping?

PatternWeld

Copper rivets with roves, not pop rivets?

How about some chicago screws and a 99 cent store tube of superglue so you don't even have to dress down to repair?

So like a 3" lead on the buckle side finished and then 6" 10" & 15" cut & punched strips?

Will period buckles be an upgrade option?

PatternWeld

Yup sure can. It'll have to go out parcell post In a fairly good sized box. Can we call it $65 shipped ConUS ?

PatternWeld

Ok its official. DIBS on the lamellar. PM me your Paypal and I will send shipping info. Shipping zip code is 92307 for cost calculation. If you just want to call it $225 thats cool too.

PatternWeld

Alasdair, I think most folks have a good idea what a fair price is. I appreciate Losthelm's Thunderwinde & Benedek's offers even if they were somewhat low. No hard feelings generated or people scolded. If the mask for example was a cheapie $60 when new mask I'd have been happy to get $35 for it in g...

PatternWeld

Thank you for your offer. A Uhlmann 1600N FIE mask goes for about $230 new. I won't go below $110 for this item.

PatternWeld

Back from the post office with supplies.

I am a frustrating $10 short of what I need to buy the lamellar.

PatternWeld

Absolutely! In fact I will try to get you better pics in the next few days.

PatternWeld

Sorry if replies are slow for the next hour... going to the postoffice for shipping supplies.

PatternWeld

Losthelm - that would barely cover materials & propane. Absolute lowest I will go on the buckles is $10 each. Buy them all and I will pay shipping ConUS.

PatternWeld

These were $60 or so new. This one is unused. Make it $50 and it's yours.

PatternWeld

I need to raise $ to buy lamellar from another archiver, who needs to pay month end bills. So I'm NOT putting prices on anything. Please post what you are willing to pay for an item. If its a decent offer I will accept via PM and send you my Paypal. Shipping will be extra and actual cost. Speed is ...

PatternWeld

Odd,

I'm trying to raise a couple $ to buy the lamellar.

PatternWeld

Russ, No punishment involved. Like I said via PM, I'd never expect a customer to pay for something that they didn't like. Unless a project involves costly materials I rarely charge money up front, so if something comes up, it gives both myself and the customer an option of saying "No thank you" I se...

PatternWeld

Aleks thank you. I will leave it up then so someone has a chance to see it at the very least. I never thought about how narrow an audience an item like this would have. Scott I will be sending you a PM. Shipping to Canada shouldn't be horrible because this should fit into a flat rate envelope or shi...

I cannot be a fan unless the 8 dollar and some change per pound pricetag pays for itself over a perfectly good used anvil in the same or heavier range for no more than $4.00 per pound that crop up all the time, all over the country. Check places like Anvilfire, craigslist, tool & machinery/farm auct...

The oldest known pocket folding knife was found in Hallstatt, Austria and is dated to between 600-500 BCE

The handles can be wood, bone, horn, antler, bronze, brass though the bronze & brass is more common for the later period Celtic and Roman ones.

Things this simple don't change much.

For sure check out Therion Arms then. http://www.therionarms.com/reenact/armor.shtml

PatternWeld

She does machine work too, for less but get ready to grab ankles when you find what Gambesons.com charges for custom work. Not saying its not worth it just that it is pricey.

PatternWeld

Guess no one wants it... not a single inquiry, not a single offer. If there's no response after tomorrow I will remove it and just make it next month's A&S entry.

PatternWeld

You may want to send an email to Svenska Flicka @ Spindle,Shuttle & Needle. I hear she did a handsewn 21 layer Linen Viking style and I bet she could make what you want.

PatternWeld

You are most welcome. Good luck on completing your kit.

WMA = White Mountain Armoury not Western Martial Arts, in this case

#1 Ask him. I won't disclose what he offered it to me for. I will say its less than what you are asking in Cash.

#2 Cut a heavy leather strip, Sew the maille to the inside edge, Rivet the strip on under the brow & occular line. Couple hours of unskilled labor.

Gypsy is the current owner of the helmet, not the maker. Adam Berry's site is

PatternWeld

Therion, KWT and KultofAthena carry them. Sounds like a custom gambeson you are after as well. Any reason you can't pad the arm armour instead of wearing a full sleeve gambeson?

PatternWeld

Gypsy has a WMA Adam Berry helmet that would be just your size and the exact type you'd want. I turned it down because the goggle wasn't what I was after (later period Varangian vs 9th century ). http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q165/jkelley117/WMAHelm4Sale.jpg If I purchased the helm from him, wo...

“. . . those who speak the Danish tongue are foremost in the mercenary force of Constantinople, and the Emperor uses them as his life-guards.” (Saxo Grammaticus - ibid. p 131). So a forward point phrygian with an extended nasal & cheekplates, Spangen tops with and without "goggles" with and without ...

PatternWeld

English, Sweede, Dane? If I remember the Varangians of that late a period were armed & armoured a lil differently based on which Country they came from. Some had very heavily Eastern influenced gear while others clung tighter to what they were culturally more familiar with.

Okay, I have the bacon... now to find something with large breasts to Hug...

Those are rare in the world of someone who lives either on the Internet split time traveling 120 miles one way just to get to his shop to make stuff, few people want to buy.

Question?

Are the plates aluminum, steel or stainless? Also what thickness are they? What did you lace them with and what color is the lacing?

I'm interested but won't have enough for it for a day or two pending a paypal transaction.

PatternWeld

I'd like the $20.00 nasal brass on the far left. Shipping cheapest method to 92307 Please PM me total and your Paypal info. This is just the thing to add a lil bling to the occular ridge helm I'm getting 2nd hand from Varukh. I'd have jumped on your open cue in a heartbeat but I only have a $350 MAX...

Dammit, beat me to it!
