seanjohnson1

Thanks! Embroidery is awesome! Even reproduction! So lovely...!

seanjohnson1

100 pics or so on cd. Tomorrow night anotyher friend os gonna get them on a photobucket thing so people can just click and see all the pics

Sorry for delays

dont know why this process seemed so hard even with people here in my area helping me...

seanjohnson1

Curious. Is that ALL embroidery? most tapestries are, but i could not tell if a different technique was used in that one or in addition to embroidery...

still rumbling around for cash. if i get some i will post u an offer

seanjohnson1

thanks all!

Interesting reading

i ordered a 14 guage stainless

i would have been willing to try a quality 16 guage spring but no one was bashing down my door to make one (and who knows how hight the cost anyways)a nd several responders made good points

AS always thanks again

seanjohnson1

Please disregard my questiosn Your Grace! I was mostly curious and i have just gone and ordered a helm.

Thank you for your patience and responses and answers when i needed!

reagrds, Sean

seanjohnson1

Greetings again ur Grace! I saw a somewhat odd very small bascinet on ur web page-said small 22" head well constructed it had an interestingly deep cut back into the plate with what appeared to be a larger barm grill. is that helm one of these many u have in stock for sale? it appears that helm u ca...

seanjohnson1

if it never sold i would take it

lol it would fit my tiny head!

seanjohnson1

47 but my bid only counts if u hold it with the shoulders i am sending the deposit for on reserve lotherwise should go to bidder below me

seanjohnson1

Thanks i will watch ur research i think i will wait on the kevlar experiment!

Good luck!

seanjohnson1

Thanks for your time! I decided to pass on the helms, but good information/confirmation for the seller as he keeps on moving to sell them.

Sincerely, Sean

seanjohnson1

any interest in a trade? i woukd like to play around and experiment with those

any armor u need?

maybe a sca legal axe or pole axe?

seanjohnson1

i am in interested in 2 flat pieces both small er than a shield. i can send esact cut out of shape- so this will be thin light rigid flat material right? like thin abs plastic but stronger and less breakable? and u cannot curve it once made? i can live with that for 2 of my pieces on an experiment i...

seanjohnson1

what kind of armor u want in trade? it would look nice in my home!

seanjohnson1

HMm if Your Grace has one more moment. The seller says they were custom-made for fencing, rapier, cut/thrust, steel, AND SCA hard-suit.

COuld these be an exceptional set of helms?

Or is the seller slightly confused (no offense to seller)

seanjohnson1

THANKS ALL

seanjohnson1

Greeting your Grace! Hate to bother you on this topic line, but having difficulty on my intenet sending u PM or email. I was wondering if u noticed your 2 helms on archive for private sale with perforated face masks. Any opinion on the vision on those compared to quality sc-sport grill? Also, if u r...

seanjohnson1

Veery interested in smaller helm... my head circum is 22.25 yes i have a small head! would this be a good match? PS I have fought competition sport fencing, and found perforated fencing masks to give better vision than SCA bar grill. Is this true in these helms? Does the perforated give better? equa...

seanjohnson1

yes all stuff is there but seax(which sold) i PAID a person to help me take and upload pics it is just taking time to get them out there

seanjohnson1

I really apologize I am working on photos! I even PAID for about a 100 we are tryinhg to make them available PS i will be open to some trades as i will be returning to sword and shield tourneys only hint--possible garb, front slit brigsd or other unqiue body armor, maybe shoulders, and i am working ...

seanjohnson1

Thank you all for interest and patience. I want to sell 'em just got to get them up there PS Seax sold-sorry i go...

seanjohnson1

seanjohnson1

HELM that is

seanjohnson1

I will have pics up soon for possible trades but also would be open to an armorer who can do this work as in my other post; this will be a sport helm period not very important here (but i dont want tro look utterly ridiculous) grill, low profile, decent glancing surface, slat back or not-would prefe...

seanjohnson1

well thanks all! Ok! who does a simple low profile 14 guage springsteel helm? Nothing fancy, just for a small 22.25 circum head(i have all the other measurements as well) Dont care period- but i would assume cheapest period would be bascinet, or the pre-cursor to the bascinet, which is called the co...

seanjohnson1

I am SUPER interested in that DOUBLET! Woudl u consider any trades? i WIll have picas of armor and weapons up asap.

I have a written list of itmes under FS Wealth of items...

PS Yes i have tons of armor and weapons at work--not sure what my boss thinks of this yet.... Final PS coul...

seanjohnson1

Thanks all! That was pretty much my memory of the facts. I know mass has always been an important safety factor--i will only fight versus single swords-no poles or double handers- so i figured the mass portion of protection would be more important for the crushing pole thrusts and down ward glaives,...

seanjohnson1

And if so, does anyone do simple, lighter guage helms in spring steel?
Nothing fancy just low profile bascinet, etc?

seanjohnson1

ok thank you all for your interest. my co-worker is going to photo 90% or so of my stuff tomorrow and she is skilled at uploading to archive!! Good news it will be up there! Bad news Might not be until thrusday or friday i will still do my best to return the repiles i have gotten but if u dont get a...

seanjohnson1

Defintely S&W of course i believe hammerless-almost certain- will confirm for sure tomorrow but nearly positive hammerless i was distracted when looking it over--i dont normally like small revolvers, but there is something very sexy about those little .38 airweights and it doe snot have the stupid p...
