As always, I can't recommend AL enough. I have a pair of these arms, and love them. And this set is a steal at that price! I feel exactly the same...I don't have these particular arms, but I've owned and currently own enough pieces by him to feel comfortable in extolling the quality, not to mention...

I like the lorica...who made it?

Paladin74

I've just begun training in fencing/historical sword...what do you want for it? I'm guessing it is just a front piece right?

Paladin74

I'd settle for a true review, Insane. But I don't take issue with the others who have come forward to defend Bokalo's...its refreshing, to be honest. I've seen where a merchant gets dog-piled for an admittedly bad transaction and business suffers as a result- when the merchant is at fault, that's ho...

BJ Boyce, a young seamstress in WVa I believe...I am in the process of finalizing my first commission with her but I've seen her work before and it is nice...and won't burn a hole in your pocket. She also makes bags it would seem. In any case, good luck.

What's the measurements on that sugar loaf?

Paladin74

Man, that is one sweet hat you got there...would that I were doing a Rus impression, that thing is NOICE!

Paladin74

The musculata...what is it made of? Brass, steel or leather?

Paladin74

2nd PM sent, w/image included as a link this time.

Paladin74

Damn man...those look hella good! I know they'll go fast. Please let them go fast!

Hi, no apologies needed, No worries at all, I should have mentioned I didnt make this BP I had just bought it on here 2 weeks ago and didnt think about it. It was made by Larveraque (sp?) here on the aa. Ill dig up the thread. It was his first piece of armor made many years ago. Now that Im looking...

Paladin74

I'll call second dibs on the arming coat if still available; can PP today.

Paladin74

Wow, this is the best looking one I've seen...and I've seen them done in leather too, but not nearly as nice.

Paladin74

Are these good just for early period impressions?

Paladin74

I will likely pick up a copy in eBook form providing I can find a site that I can download onto the iPad. Welcome to the archive and there are many of us here that beyond historical books actually like to read fantasy/medieval stuff. Seconded; I'm an avid reader of historical fiction (as well as fa...

I'll take the same. I'm thinking that I need to send you funds with that in the description. Cool?

Paladin74

I'm liking the look, very much.

Paladin74

What's the flaw?

Paladin74

What're your measurements, how did it fit you?

Paladin74

Oh wow, I like those!

Paladin74

Try these guys: http://www.oakheartarmory.com - I've used them in the past and they make good shields w/out gouging the pockets. They'll also paint your arms (if you have any) or whatever device you want on it for a nominal upcharge. They'll also strap it any way you want.

HOLY...um, I really like that c1300 great helm.

Paladin74

I didn't see it either; I'm interested in the gauntlets myself.

Paladin74

Payment sent!

Paladin74

No rust problems here! LOL So, the pointing, just at the top or is there an underarm strap as well? I want them...if you could throw a buckled strap at the bottom, I'll take'm. Better yet, another pointing w/leather lace like at the top so I can just tie it onto my hauberk sleeve at the bottom of th...

Paladin74

Hey Jackie, I'd take that Norman helm without the back on it if it is available and no one else has called dibs.

Paladin74

Well DAMN. I just placed an order for one of these...ah well, good luck with the sale man.

Paladin74

Are these just for girls? I like the look of'm. Why is that mannequin wearing a bra? lol

One last, is it pointed only at the top? No underarm strap?

Paladin74

Heh, that mannequin's nothing compared to some of the hotties he's got showing off his wares! The one holding the crystal ball in particular...smokin hot.

Nice armor, by the way, Andy- very nice.

Paladin74

Can't find the braies for some reason...

Paladin74

Andrea, Bruce is/was the designer for MRL- most, if not all of the swords you see are 'battle ready', a rather ubiquitous term if you ask me. In any case, I have a few of them, they are well made and for the price, a steal more or less.

Paladin74

I echo Zubeydah's sentiment- they are definitely beautiful. Prettiest ones I've ever seen, in fact. It just so happens I am in need of a feast/eating knife...using your hands all the time seems somewhat barbaric, even for me.
