March is slipping away. I have a number of events in April and May, so I doubt the sale will be continued past March.

Otto

Last I knew, Mike at Stonekeep had a very large norman helm (might as well be a bascinet) in stock and in your price range. 12ga. mild top with 14 ga. sides.

Otto

The month is winding toward a close... so if you want something inexpensive, now's the time!

Otto

It's still March for a little longer... the sale is only good on items bought and paid in March.

Otto

It's still March, I'm still bump'n

Otto

What did you DO to the nice helm I sent you!?!?!?!

Oh... I feel so sad now

Otto

It's still March for a bit... so don't forgit!

Otto

le boomp!

Do you know where I can find the new shield boss regs so I can double check them against what I make? generally, the bars don't have any spaces which would allow the passage of a normal rattan sword. They'd cover you hand and fingers entirely, but the wrist is exposed. I always had a hockey glove on...

Otto

Yup, got the payment OK... I'll get the items right out to you.

Otto

Friznab!

Otto

Or, of course... I have my 20% off March sale, so the basket hilt and shield basket are $20 each.

Otto

and again... but don't worry, I'll stop when March does! ;-P

I could easily turn around a couple of baskets (sword or shield) in a day or so... no big deal.

If I can make it I'll be at the Day at the Castle... it's hard to say just yet.

Otto

All I need for a gorget is a simple neck measurement. Wrap a cloth tape measure around your bare neck and give me the result... and, of course, note it if there are any special considerations... like an unusually long or short neck. You can e-mail me at sbvast@yahoo.com and please note that your req...

Otto

Stonekeep has lots of nice helms instock inside your price range.

Otto

At that price, you're getting a heck of a bargain on a really solid helm. They look pretty decent too, even if I am the one who made them.

Mike, I'm guessing you guys shine them up a bit after they get to you?

Otto

So whadja buy?

Otto

And a Merry Christmas to you too!!

Otto

Thanks for the kind words... always appreciated!

Otto

last chance

Otto

No, articulated knees have never really been my friend... so I don't offer them for sale.

I will do stainless work for an additional fee. (normally 50% additional cost).

Otto

Remember, time's a tick'n... the November sale is almost at an end.

Otto

I've got them ready to go and on sale...

Otto

Remember, that includes:
Basket hilts @20
Shield Baskets @20
Simple Elbows @20

and similar discounts on other items...

November's almost over, and with it ends my sale. If you want a bargain price, now's the time to get it.

Otto

Wow! nothing at all...

slow times man... slow times.

Otto

I picked up another larger client yesterday, so I'm still in business for now. Perhaps between my two large clients and my own sales, I can keep enough business going to pay the rent and all.

Here's hoping!

Otto

Well, I think it's time to admit that I gotta make a change. The armour business has just been too slow for me to pay all the bills I have and such. It's time for me to find a normal job again. My site will still be up and I'll still take orders and such... but my turn around time will slow up a bit...

Come one, come all!

Make a purchase!
