Wow
You paid $1100 for a basic helmet with almost no decoration?
Wow

Thanks Seved Not exactly what Im looking for but it would work in a pinch:) 2 pounds seems a bit heavy but looking at some of the other armourers here on the archive I see that the standard boss weighs about 1.7 pounds. Looks like I may have to contact some of my buds in Sweden to see if that mercha...

Anyone know who the original supplier is for this shield?
I wanna know more about the boss.
It looks cast and probably not suitable for SCA combat but want to know for sure.

Can I get an update on this?
Its been almost 10 days since I sent you the payment ($60 on the 8th and $20 on the 15th) and I havent seen anything.

Halvgrimr

Yep, thats it!
Sorry, Draqesus
With a shoulder just waiting to die on me, weight is a real concern.

Halvgrimr

I could have sworn I saw some one selling them recently
Am I crazy?
Seem to remember either a woven design or something similar to the V6 helmet top

To make a true vendel age shield boss would be an incredible pain in the arse. I have thought long and hard (over a period of many years) to figure out a way to come up with a way to make one and have yet to come up with anything anyone would call 'simple' Youd almost have to raise it in one piece t...

Better watch out Mongrel
BA isnt one of those pansy Calontiri
He is an Atlantian import, he might just be your huckleberry.

Before I go out and buy 3-4 brass kick plates, cut them out, sand them down, and polish home made ones does anyone know of any vendors that sell the strap decorations like shown below

SCA dominated? What does that have to do wth anything? Gee I donno How about the "I see a lot of the sca in exactly the same light as you so dont feel special. It never fails to disappoint me" comment? Perhaps? Maybe? Possible? Just a little relevant? Right? Yet you continue to play and h...

Halvgrimr

Yet you continue to play and hang out on an SCA dominated forum No one is sputtering btw Its funny how we see this differently All I see is you at the end of your chain snarling at those different than you and defending your pup as he gets swatted with the newspaper for pissing in the floor. Its not...

Halvgrimr

I hate that for the last 10 yrs I thought I was doing something better than the SCA that really wasnt:(

Wasted time, friendships and beer:(

Halvgrimr

So the occasional lie is ok as long as you can kick ass?
Not passing judgement, just making sure I understand what your saying.

Halvgrimr

So Animal
Enlighten us a little on Tuchux societal behavior
What are yalls views of those that speak falsehoods (especially those that do so to gain unearned name fame)?

Brother I'm not wound up (I dont know how many times I gotta say that. one of you Calontiri guys need to pipe up and let folks know that a wound up Halv is much louder, cruder, and direct:) Your the one getting all internet tough guy, not moi Read what I said, I didnt say you absolutely lived a sad ...

Halvgrimr

You can get pissy if you want, you can try and be disdainful if you like, but it doesnt change the fact that someone came to your kingdom and found your fighters wanting. You can either choose to do something about that or you can huff up and puff up in the internet, which is what you're doing so f...

Halvgrimr

Wrong, its fake
Its a game of grown up tag.
If thats all that defines you in life you must live a sad existence.

Nope Couldnt care less Dont know him Probably wont His opinion of me or mine doesn't effect me whatsoever. My original reply was meant to be as smug as his, still doesn't mean I give to shits about him or his opinions. My original post offered him a way to put up or shut up. There was little to no p...

Halvgrimr

Great to hear Scott
Glad your pleased with them

I had a hard time letting some of them go as while they aren't high academia they do make good demo books.

My days of demos (neigh, even caring about educating the masses) are mostly over so that made it easier to let them go.

This thread became awesome when people started getting out the "ruler" about fake/play fighting. EVERYTHING about the SCA (and indeed most hobbies) is fake. All the titles, tourney wins, and any other dick measuring activities we use mean absolutely nothing in the real world. Its the folk...

Agreed Irish While there will be a few folks that will go out of their way to find him and give him what he needs for the most part he will continue being a non entity. While Calontir is all about taking folks in, we really only take folks in that want in, we dont force anyone to join the herd, ther...

I recently purchased some padded cuisses from Therion Arms. Price is right but the smell is not. I'm not sure what it is but mine smell to high heaven, kinda like a oil/solvent smell even after sitting outside for three weeks. It's become a running joke at my house "Did the dog pass gas?"...
