The Armour Archive

Richmond, VA is two hours and 15 minutes away. Duke Logan, unless you have moved from Palm Beach, Florida, Bdeb is closer. Palm Beach is over 14 hours away!

Aaron

Yeah! The bid is $90 and I don't have to drive to Key West!

Aaron

Yes sir.

Aaron

Ah, Duke Logan, you are FAR from a 2 hour one-way drive away from Ft. Meade, MD. Shipping is a no-go, but delivery within that two hour (or even three in some cases) drive is a go. But you are in the land of beaches, bikinis, martini's and Miami Vice soundtracks, far from the sweltering cesspool tha...

:( It wasn't like that at all. Andre II was just making armour for himself for fun I think. It was just amazing to see such talent in somebody who does not yet qualify to go to kindergarten yet! And he's in a place where his talents can only grow under a father who loves to see his son's talents exp...

Aaron

Top bid is $100. Which is a GREAT price IMO and I'll be glad to sell it at that price...but the auction continues until my wife's birthday on 02SEP12, when we drive around and drop our excess stuff off with those who can put it to use AND Maureen gets some cash to burn on her birthday!

OK, now I'm amused. I could see the reply back two weeks later:

"Well, there was some damage but with a little application of armouring I've restored your helmet to it's orginal state, but added a heads-up display and 360 degree monitors."

Aaron

This is heartrending.

Aaron

William is the highest bidder right now with $75. He withdrew a bid from one of my other auctions, so he might withdraw here as well. I think he was aiming for the tripple-win for the klapvisor.

Aaron

Hi, Yesterday my family and I drove up to New Jersey to visit one of Ice Falcon and his son at one of Ice Falcon’s armouries. We bought: 1. A mail coif to compliment my wife’s fencing helmet, and cover a rather bad gap in the neck protection that she needed to get covered. 2. I put a down payment on...

Aaron

It's tougher stuff. That's probably one reason it's the sweatlodge. It's more like the synthetic aircraft hangers we put up for Army aviation. Tough stuff, but not bullet proof. It would take effort to cut it, but wear-and-tear over the years have caused one pinprick hole near the top. It's about as...

Aaron

The HOA said we had to take down the dayshade from the backyard, but the good news is that the poles, ropes, dayshade and associated stuff are packed up and ready to deliver to you!

Aaron

There has been some furious action on the weapons thread, so I figured to bump this up to see if there could be some fights over plates and goblets.

Remember, I'm of Greek heritage and so are my kids, so it's amazing that these plates have survived this long!

Aaron

The bid is now $70! Huzzah!

I get to clean out the basement, you get weapons and my wife gets some spending cash on her birthday (or close to it)! Winning all around!

Aaron

Caitlin was funny. She hits and accepts WAY too hard for fencing. It was "GIGGLE!!! OUCH!!! GIGGLE!!" Helena was also funny. A couple of days ago I was putting Maureen's swords in the car and Helena ran up suddenly and as I tossed the swords into the car, she got hit with the blade of the swords. I ...

Aaron

Yeah, I just did that. Next time I'll look before I type. Whoops!

Aaron

3.5 lbs is the total weight for both legs?

BTW, beautiful work!

Aaron

...and Maureen (wife) only left the field after she got so much exercise she wobbled to the car. She fought two handed sword with a good fellow who knows what he's doing and she had a GREAT time while I chased Helena (toddler) around and kept her out of trouble by teaching her how to turn the car on...

Aaron

There is only one elf in Santa's workshop, and he's a tad short tempered and short on time, but now he's knighted!

BTW, Scott you can contact me if there are Army issues you may be dealing with.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

Thanks!

Aaron

Yes, still a local pick-up. Now if you can drive to within two hours of Fort Meade, MD, I will deliver the goods to you (if you win). So you don't have to drive to me, I can meet you half-way.

-Aaron

Aaron

Excellent! Could someone give me directions to where the practices are that week, please?

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

There are two bids for $75 right now, but the first bid of $75 is currently in the lead...unless the second bid becomes $76.....

Aaron

William Thomas

Winning all three will be VERY cool and will get you the helmet, as well as other stuff I've got in the basement that I probably won't use in the near future.

-Aaron

Aaron

Wow! I can't make the event, but WOW!

Aaron

Hi,

I'll be in Albuquerque and I MIGHT be able to bring my "flight" armour with me, if I have someone to fight 18-21SEP12. Yes, I will have a rental car.

-Aaron

Aaron

The helm has seen better days, and needs an upgrade before I would consider wearing it onto the field.

Aaron

So bid one dollar more!

Aaron

No, but if you flew into Andrews AFB I could bring them to your plane!

Aaron

Could you drive as far south as Toms River, NJ? That's Ice Falcon and I'd like to meet him sometime after 02SEP12....

Aaron

At this point you could lower your bid to $1 and still be in the lead. The objective is to get these away from the "Smasher of Everything" and into safe hands, and maybe make a little money. You are the ONLY bidder, so you could withdraw the other bids and go with $1 and STILL be in the lead. You ar...

Aaron

Certainly acceptable! $75 is now the high bid. And so far we've had THREE bids, all from the same Archive member who is a massive bidding war against himself, but I think he's winning!

Seriously, yes $75 is the high bid right now, and you are firmly in the lead.

-Aaron

Aaron

Baltimore should be easy to get to.

I should mention that delivery is either on Saturday or Sunday (I'm off work, mostly).

Tally wrote:Is the central pole in two segments?

The center pole is a steel pole in three segments. The pole divides into two pieces and has a "spike" top-cap that finishes it up.

-Aaron

Aaron

Wow, I totally forgot to put in that I measured it! It was 160 inches on each side, forming a square. 13 feet and 4 inches on each side. I haven't measured the height, but the tip of the flagpole reaches the roof on the garage on the 2nd story of the house, and I'm taking pictures of the dayshade fr...
