Greetings felllow armor nuts! Does anyone have any experience working with (purchasing from) an Eastern European armorer named Oleg Yanchuk?

Interested in your leather full gauntlets. Do you have a website with photos, prices, waiting list, etc.?

Thanks for that recap! For anyone interested, the Getty curator says the lecture will *probably* be available in audio form on line. They use Soundcloud to post their lectures and audio presentations. Go to Soundcloud.com, sign up, and search Getty (and "subscribe" to the Getty's postings).

Great question - I'm going to do my best to video his talk at Orange Coast College, and put it on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. (No charge.)
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to do anything about recording the talks at the Getty or the San Diego Shakespeare Society.

Hey there - I am definitely interested in that dagger/scabbard, if it is still available. Let me know - geeome(at)gmail(dot)com.

Hello fellow armor and history buffs, I wanted to let you all know that I’m coordinating a series of lectures by Dr. Toby Capwell (curator of arms and armor at the Wallace Collection in London) when he is the L.A. area in mid-October. If you are interested in such things (and who here isn't?) and ar...

One more try on this - I'd really like this to go to someone who's going to use it, rather than have it gathering dust in my garage.

Anton - It is separate from your breastplate. A separate suspension/shoulder harness keeps it in place. You put it on before you put on your curiass. It would be perfect with a globose or Churburg style breastplate.

Greetings, I have a leather/brigantine fauld for sale - the "King's Guard" model from Armstreet. I received this a few months ago as a gift. Nothing at all wrong with it - but, unfortunately, it's just a little too big for me, and trying to do an exchange is more trouble (and shipping $) than it's w...

The SCA's combat rules are, by necessity, geared to make their armored combat safe for everyone - from the "twice a year" beer-drinking war fighter, to the "three times a week" serious athlete. WMA-style activities require A) control and B) trust - and there are an awful lot of S...

This is a really enjoyable discussion ... One thing that I can see as an "issue" is that the Vitus system does (in a way) rob the fighter delivering a debilitating (limb) blow of the opportunity to demonstrate an act of courtesy/chivalry if that is his/her choice to do so - meaning that, i...

Sir Vitus and others: This is an interesting system, and I'm quite glad to see this (among other) possible solutions being offered to the SCA's traditional (but entirely unrealistic) "knee fighting" convention. With regards to some of the criticism stated here - sure, this system isn't per...

An update on the custom gauntlets I commissioned from Darkheart: Last week Morgan promised the gauntlets would be done in a week, or he would refund my money. Yesterday I did, in fact, receive the finished gauntlets, which were exactly as I had ordered them initially. I am very pleased with them (ph...

Sad to say ... I've heard nothing from him in months - although a few of his friends have contacted me and sworn they'd get him to finish my project. However, after dozens of e-mails sent to Morgan, I've had no reply from him. As of Jan. 2010 - one year after sending him full payment for what was su...

Glad to hear you're enjoying the podcast. Keep listening - we've got some really interesting interviews coming up next season - about falconry, civility, werewolves, the Lone Ranger, behavioral studies into the nature of chivalry - and more. Tell your friends to listen in too. We can use all the lis...

Alan,
Thanks - you must have mentioned something to him, because I got a note today. I look forward to getting (and fighting with) those gauntlets.

Everyone else ... Darkheart is (clearly) still producing armor and (barring one little communication snafu) very good to deal with.
Guillaume

Greetings everyone, Does anyone out there know if Darkheart Armory is still in operation, and if so, how to get in touch with Morgan (besides through the website)? I ordered a set of their primo finger gauntlets, and sent in final payment when I got notified that the gaunt's were completed (in Janua...
