They certainly used it for much larger items.

What I found most interesting was the matching helmet.

SAINT LUCY (283-303). Early Christian martyr. The Martyrdom of St. Lucy. Detail of a painting by the Master of the Deposition of the Figdor Collection.

The image is supposed to be c1450, I do not know the source, I picked it from a Hungarian's wall on FB.

Authorized marshals aren't required to be members, as well. I talked to my regional marshal and he was of the opinion that if the rapier marshal is a warranted marshal for rapier, that should be sufficient for the rattan, but that it would be a good idea to check with your own KEM.

3. If the weapon has a head, it shall not be constructed of solely rigid materials. The head shall be firmly and securely attached to the haft. The head shall allow at least 1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm) of progressive give between the striking surface and the weapon haft. Laminated or split rattan constructio...

I haven't found etched armor, and a very simple etching at that, prior to about 1490.

Baron Alcyoneus

This may be an IKA thing, but why doesn't your local Knight Marshall appoint someone else who is an authorized marshall to run the practice? That is what is done here when the KM can't make a practice. I've asked Asoph (SEM) this question, but he's at Pennsic, so we might not find out for a while. ...

Baron Alcyoneus

It does seem unusually large, both it length and breadth, but the grip is too small for more than one hand.

Baron Alcyoneus

Shortened version: To be an official event/activity, it has to be published (Official practice will be...), and a warranted marshal, or an authorized marshal and a warranted officer (like a seneschal) must be present. If the warranted officer cannot be there, the official practice is cancelled, and ...

He should be there Friday or Saturday, these mittens are there now at Talon Armory/T'ger Toggs/Once in a Blue Moon.

I'd use stainless nuts&bolts, that way you don't have to worry about contamination with zinc, etc. It is a good idea to bolt them together, both to control warpage, and to make sure pieces stay together. When we send gauntlets through, the nuts often vibrate loose, apparently, and sometimes there ar...

Yes, something like 10-12 gage.

That is not a freon can helm. Freon cans are large, round, and have bumps on the bottom so that they will stand up.

It is probably the compressor housing from a large home AC.

6AM-9PM, 5 indicators My guess would be a work schedule of some sort. When particular people were to show up, or something like that.

The grill would need work to make it legal. It is also hard to tell if the plates are thick enough.

What is the evidence that these thick GHs were worn on chains? http://effigiesandbrasses.com/3806/3362/ See the loose toggle below his L wrist?

Baron Alcyoneus

I think I'd put the sword at 16thC based on the guard, I'll look at one of my books, I may be off. Crude, but I've seen that construction (overlapped bars for the guard, forge welded) before.

Baron Alcyoneus

Our authorization cards were updated yesterday.
