Well I'v been getting things sent out to me from all over the world allmost every other week for 20 years and only had one not turn up, and the only delays have been on the other end. Australian customs will only hold an item if its a restricted wepon or unprosessed plant/animal parts. or if its wor...

I dont think iv'e explaned what I mean very well. I'm talking about front only mail aprons worn in place of a plate fauld on stand alone breastplates in germany 1400-1420, not a full wrap around faulds/paunces As far as I can see these are offten shown with a civilian style coat or houppelande betwe...

Ah, english will do fine, thank you :lol: I'm thinking of trying rows five rings tall with expantion rings at the bottom like I'm making a section of a mantle. Should I spread the expanding rings evenly throughout,say by placing them every five in the expanding rows or would it be better to consntra...

I'm trying to figure out some things about those mail aprons you see in german art. First, is there a proper period name for these? Second,how do they hold their shape and not bunch up like some fantasy mail loincloth? were they shaped like a rectangle or more like a trapezoid, tailored to be wider ...

I can't upload pictures of what I want as I'm using an xbox for my internet.

Johann von Wertheim.

der soldat

I dont know the proper name for them, but I'm looking for hourglass gauntlets with seperat fingers and partial mittens over the fingers, German 1400-1410
for living history/live steel.

eBay says you'll only ship to US,
Is that absolute? cause this helm is exactly the kind I've been looking for.

der soldat

How long till you order the stuff? I'd like to order an aventail but depending if I have time to save for it I'd like a short sleeved shirt as well.

der soldat

I'd defiantly be in for two pair also, would have the money together for it in a months time.

der soldat

yes, exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.
I guess 1mm might be ok if the plates overlap enough.

I'm looking for someone to make a Late 15thC/early 16thC Spanish brigandine with tassets and possibly point tied spaulders.

der soldat

Yes, 6mm flat ring would be awesome.

der soldat

Ours are more like a sleeve with a fuller circle at the end. We COULD have them made like they are in the picture if there was enough interest. Folks asked us to carry sleeves a few years back and I still have the sleeves in stock. If I can get confirmed orders for them in the style of Wades pic, I...

der soldat
