Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

right now bastard sword.
most of the other 18 years short sword and kite shield.

Heath B fraychef

i find that sometimes non sca people are less interested in coming to "check out " an event if they have to pay a rediculous price to do so. case in point, my father would liike to come out to see what great western war is all about but at $25 just to come check it out for the day is simpl...

Heath B fraychef

maybe this one.
not really mean looking but i like it.

Heath B fraychef

sorry to hear.
the man gets to the best of us at times.

Heath B fraychef

ill tell you what.
if you like them that much ill sell them to you. brand new never been used.
$400.00 then i can have another pair made and have a nice profit to boot.

Heath B fraychef

as someone who has been skipped over on the whole dibs thing i hate mulitple items in one thread.
far too easy for someone to get overlooked.
gets very confusing.

Heath B fraychef

btw they arrived today.
they look way better in person.
thanks.

Heath B fraychef

any time.
ive gone through 3 different armorers just for demi's and you hit the nail on the head so to speak.
the fit is perfect. (ive actually never had a pair fit so well) and exactly what i was looking for.
and like i said you just cant beat the price for the quality.

Heath B fraychef

if anyone is interested in something like these balthazar is hard to beat.
excellent prices for the quality of workmanship.
i highly recommend him for all your gauntlet needs.

Heath B fraychef

personally i like it about 2 1/2-3 inches below my chin but i also like them to curve inward signifigantly. down underneath my chin.
of course i dont really like bar grills and dont use one anymore but my 2 cents.

i think they call it history.

Heath B fraychef

so thats the trick.
where could a mid range fighter purchase some of this ducal tenacity?
and does it come in six packs?

Heath B fraychef

I've had to hold out due to other purchases made, and waiting on selling my car. But once my car sells, I have about $1500 I want to order from him. I hope he can stay around and keep making armor. Maybe my order will help keep him going over the hump in the next few months, when I hope to have the...

Heath B fraychef

i was looking for the exact same thing a while back.
the only person i found doing them was armor and castings.

Heath B fraychef

oh my god that helm is beautiful.
spectacular work.

Heath B fraychef

my boss was flat when i got it.
and the shield is curved.
just use carriage bolts and washers and tighten evenly on the way around should get you where you need to be.
not easy but worked on mine.

Heath B fraychef

why not just fit the leather around the sword?

Heath B fraychef

yeah you think fat vikings cared what every body else thought while they were killing them?

Heath B fraychef

here ya go a couple of the back side.

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

i also have a mace i could part with. i just dont use it anymore. its not a kong but another type of thick rubber dog toy. this one is round w/ a hole in the center just large enough to force the rattan through. fits nice and snug while keeping a cushion of air inside which provides amazing rebound....

Heath B fraychef
