Heath B fraychef

wow mikael that a very nice helm.
could you please check your isbox.
im still waiting on a response to our last communication.

Heath B fraychef

my friend has decided to put this up on e-bay.

Heath B fraychef

ive had items shipped from the ukraine arrive in as little as 5 days and all the way out to 10 weeks late.

Heath B fraychef

WOW! i hate you, im getting a new helm here in a couple days and i might just have to save up for some of that inlay thats freakin awesome.
well done sir.

Another helm I did

thats an awesome hat.
is that inlay or just paint?

Heath B fraychef

so for anyone interested this helm is mild steel, 28 1/2 or 28 3/4 outer band at the brow.
russeted w/ brass acents and a red horsehair.
paid 850 or so and is willing to take a loss.
ill pop this over to the calssified board if nobody here is interested.

Heath B fraychef

knitbee here on the archive spruced mine up for me.
did an awesome job and was great to work with.
plus the price was very reasonable.

Heath B fraychef

thats a really nice helm.
i like how you can see how far it comes under the chin.

Heath B fraychef

ok here are a few from west coast armory that show how it works pretty well.
the plates curve with the plane of the face down to the chin where it pretty much makes it impossible to remove the helmet without either removing the pin or removing your head.

nope not at all, i firmly believe there are no stupid questions and if you dont know something its only because nobody has ever told you.
ill see if i can find some pics of this type that show better how it works.

Heath B fraychef

exactly,
thanks gunther.

Heath B fraychef

ill add that with the hinged cheek design it removes the need for a chin strap.
you just put it on pop in the pin and go.

Heath B fraychef

i guarantee it is sca legal, it was made by jackie at shamrock armory. my friend just decided once he got the helm that he wanted to work with the one he already had. the leather on the cheek plates cover the metal. they are also hinged with a pin in the front for easy entry. if you look closely at ...

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

ok, no problem.

Heath B fraychef

very nice. any way you can get a close up on the detail of the brass work on the cuffs? btw if your interested i happen to know someone who has a fiberglass spear they only used once. it has the tip kit from ice falcon already attached just sitting in the garage taking up space. if your interested i...

Heath B fraychef

honestly with all the other protection you should be just fine.
on its own would be sketchy.
you will most likely be replacing rings or making repairs fairly often depending on how much combat you do.

Heath B fraychef

WOW

!
very nice, i love the clean simplicity.

Heath B fraychef

you can also check with armor and castings.

Heath B fraychef

i love these trims, but if i read this correct you want 40-60 dollars for shipping? for i meter of trip? ive had armor shipped from the the ukraine for about the same price. and that weighed about 1000 tomes more than a meter of trip. are you sure thats correct? i would love to buy some buy not if t...

Heath B fraychef

im in with the last 2 posts not my cup of tea but i love the lines.
and the brass work really makes it pop.
beautiful work.

Heath B fraychef

depends on the siduation. single combat most likely can tell the difference. in a war though when you are in the press ive "accidentally" killed friends standing next to me by whacking their helm with my elbow cop. happended once when we werent even engagen with the enemy just maneuvering ...
