so what is a #2 worth? my father gave me one yesterday its not in imaculate condition (a little rust but easily cleaned up). it also doesnt have any dies but i was told that they will surface and when they do i get them. (he says he has a few boxes full of dies in one of his storage sheds) tragicall...

IIRC the pushing and shoving is purely yet another SCA-ism real Holms were used to settle disputes. now stepping out intentionally (retreating) was bad, you were called nithing (coward) but i cant recall anything in my reading about wrestling type fights. Holmganga's were all about ritualism (at lea...

this might be a stretch but the second of the two looks as if it isnt riveted together but held together with leather thongs. again this might be a stretch but i believe (if the above is true) that it belongs with the types of helemts that Tweddle catagorized as Lamellenhelms. see http://www.missour...

Halvgrimr

cool thanks WMA i had seen the last one but only had a line drawing of it (thanks to Alcyneous), it is really similar to the Budapest helm except it has that cool/wierd crest thing. i wonder do you have info on the name and dating for this helm? what about the others, i havae never ran accross them ...

I wouldnt get to excited about Viking Age splint, there just isnt enough solid evidence IMO. most folks fall back to the old Varangian thing, but most of what the "Vikings" in Byzantium wore was enhancements to their own personal armor (ie slint armor), this armor was probably Army issue and would p...

I agree with Noe's suggetions calling folks and just letting them know (think?) you want them to participate is often enough to get them to show up.
