You know, Glaukos, with all the BT threads you've been creating, we waiting for your announcement of a persona change to Gilbert d'Normandie any day now..... [img]http://lisapaitzspindler.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/princessleia.jpg[/img] Aren't you a little short for a Normantrooper?

Do they still have a web presence?

When one further considers the clear existence of cheekplates before the Viking Age, and significant artistic and literary mention afterwards, it seems baseless to suggest that, during the Viking Age, all knowledge of such helmets vanished, only to magically reappear after 1066... . Ok, Ill bite on...

Halvgrimr

Statement withdrawn (regarding AS warriors and checkplates) Naw, to hell with it, I withdraw the withdrawal We know that Anglo Saxons where wearing helms with check plates on them in Anglo Saxon England. See the Pioneer/North Hampton helm See the Sutton Hoo helm See the Coppergate Whether or not the...

Moreover, if we look at Gjermundbu as a simple version of the Valsgarde spectacle helmets, I'm am going to take exception to this statement Norman. On a simplistic level the two could be said to be visually similar but the two helm styles have very little in common. (The biggest differences being s...

It fits me great, a little big, and I have a 48in chest and waist. I believe Halvgrimr had it listed as being able to fit 3xl, but not sure on that. Not sure how big Halvgrimr is. I think the last time I measured my chest for Adric (when he was planning the big boy tunics) I had a 60+ inch chest (I...

Ok, Im done with this thread
My last words are Caveat emptor

If ya have something to say to me about it do it in a PM cause Im removing the notification tick so I can forget about this bag o crap.

Halvgrimr

Nothing wrong with what you described at all. Corn fed, American bred! Oh, Im all fer it, its easier to pick out the future ditch diggers of America I am just saying that neither seem to have an order or any issue yourself, you just seem to be bitching for the sake of bitching. Yep, your right, I d...

That would make you the football player that maintains an A average by taking classes like Live Stock Washing and Fence Post Setting at the VoTech school then?

Isnt being an ass fun?

Halvgrimr

Amen Val, amen!

Halvgrimr

OK, whatever, Im tired of debating it, Im sure the man shits sunshine and farts rainbows.

Halvgrimr

So far, he's delivered everything on a time scale that's far better than any made to order SCA armourer I've ever ordered from , and when he's made errors (I had about a 2% error rate in the several hundred pairs I've gotten from him) he's corrected them or replaced them as soon as he can at his ow...

Halvgrimr, I hope you mean that you won't buy Westland's products from a US distributor, not that you won't buy anything from any merchant who also sells Westland's products in addition to their own (that is, you wouldn't buy Westland products from Reconstructing History but you would still buy RH'...

Halvgrimr

After talking with several US merchants at Pennsic I simply refuse to order from this guy. I find myself at a point where his questionable business practices have even left me in a position I wont even buy his product from US merchants that sell his stuff in addition to their own. Sadly some of thes...

Halvgrimr

Done
I passed this onto several of the local groups too

Check your PMs too

I thought this was an awesome spectacle to behold! It was damned hot and I salute those of you who donned so much gear to participate in such hostile conditions (sadly I had dumped my cool looking garb for just cool, as in temperature, garb (..ie braies, boots, and an aba) while I helped attend HerR...

Halvgrimr, did you by chance sell your chain after the battle, and had it at the Calontir Trim booth? If so, they said Halvgrimr, but well there are probably a few of ya. But with knowing it was Calontir Trim, and I had thought you lived in Missouri, I was wondering if it was yours. Yep, that was me!

Halvgrimr

Had a great time Thanks for arranging this All in all it was a positive experience Now some constructive critisism (and please only even consider these if your really looking for a LH quality appeal, ie like the Combat of the 30) While an awesome turn out I still think there is alot of room for impr...

His Grace Martino calls them Dork Sticks
Mostly because when you hit them they make a 'dork' sound:)

Halvgrimr

Its well worth that price
I have a copy of it
Every now and again I think that I dont need it and think I should sell it but then common sense sits in and I put it back up on the shelf:)

Halvgrimr

I saw it and was impressed
Is that copper?
I paid alot of cash to have mine inlaid with silver when I got it and you can hardly tell cause the color of the metal of the quillion and the silver are awful similar:P

Nicely done as always Theo

Halvgrimr

My serious concern is the abrupt, overnight drop in quality. Whether true or not, this has the appearance of being a single high quality run to gain interest, and then once orders start rolling in, a slapdash hackjob to fill all the orders. Or...... It could be someone that had much more business t...

I will be arriving at Pensic sometime Friday (the 6th)
Im interested in the bauzs if they will fit me.

Halvgrimr

Their customer service sucks major ass too! I have tried for two years now to have the Norsa, Inc tag removed from my account and its still there. I have emailed constantly and even talked to a few humans that have assured me they have 'take care of that problem.' I'm about to start a new account ju...
