I can attest to how well made these are; I still have mine that I got from you two years ago, no problems. Solid; you do fine work, sir.

Paladin74

So, Insane...what was worn before mitten-style gauntlets?

Paladin74

I would go the KoA option (and even though I have a hauberk, at that price, what's one more, right) simply because their customer service is top notch and their prices are competitive with anyone anywhere. At least, if you end up with a bad apple, you can get a replacement relatively quick...w/that ...

Paladin74

I'm interested in the longbow...how long of a draw is it?

Paladin74

Yea....that's awesome. Gerrit's idea is good...like maybe Bruce Wayne gets displaced into another time continuum parallel to ours, except 7-800 years in the past, technologically speaking. That'd so rock. They did that in the comics already, didn't they?

Paladin74

The musculata...how tall? I'm 6', 185lbs, 42" chest, 34" waist...how well would it fit me?

Paladin74

Hi, what era are these appropriate for and are they used as belts? They're very pretty.

Paladin74

5'11" 135 ... anorexic much ? step closer to the dinner table Some people are blessed with small frames and high metabolisms...of course, those same folks usually will get winded faster while encased in armor and their blows will probably not be as hard...but if they're really good, they can dance ...

Paladin74

Coin sent.

Paladin74

Whoa, a pretty!

Paladin74

So when/how do we pay?

Paladin74

Sharp?

Paladin74

I'm tempted to call him nonetheless...he's in my state. lol

But I won't.

Paladin74

It is pretty...but if you're looking at it for SCA purposes, you're better off talking to one of these guys. I have learned, time and again, you almost always get what you pay for.

Paladin74

Malina, YOU rock...for guys like us, for our women to think along the same lines is a blessing, it is. I hope one day my wife feels confident enough to commission a piece for me one day...

Ironbadger, nice find there...a Winged Hussar harness is in my future.

Paladin74

What is this for, armor making? He actually sells beginner kits? That's awesome!!! I'm hoping to, one day soon, have my own workshop. I mean to tinker in, I'm not going to be pounding out anything for sale.

Paladin74

I just saw this on the Atlantia facebook page - could this be it? http://baltimore.craigslist.org/bar/2838726261.html One look at that listing and you know that's not custom-made...I've seen those same BP/pauldron setup for sale all over the place last year, and the gauntlets and helm look like Bud...

Paladin74

Huh. You can kill with a wall hanger...may not stand up to many blows, but it only takes one good thrust. But I digress...for myself, I would go with Odinblades- http://www.odinblades.com - he makes them by hand, his work is top notch and anyone who is really into swords will have heard of him at th...

Paladin74

I'll take the last one...in blue if I can get it; brown if not. Black if I must...but would rather not.

Paladin74

Glad someone else bought it...saved me! That's a real beauty there.

Not a great helm for the price? You sure made it look like it is worth it; that's a real beauty. I almost want one.

That's a good one, I'm going to have to add that to the witty repartee repertoire.

Paladin74

Randy, thanks...wish I could access that site from work. Ah well, I'll send him a PM and see if I can't get on there tonight. Much obliged, sir.

Was it you who made it, Dan? I'm interested as this should fit the Squire Line Knight I just picked up, no?

I saw some previews of it so I'm getting it as well.

Oh boy, I'm excited like I'M going over to fight with you guys! Go TEAM AMERICA!!!

Paladin74

On a sarcastic note, I'll throw her in for free, though shipping would be difficult. I may need to split her up into smaller packages. On a fatherly tone, I wouldn't part with her for all the money in the world. (In case she reads this) You had me laughing out loud on this one...sounds like somethi...

sorry for derailing thread

Paladin74

Andrea, they work fine...maybe just not for you. Those two sites might be blocked for you. I clicked the first link and it redirects you to facebook so I'm assuming his wares are situated for perusal on FB. Mine is just ebaY so you should be able to access it as long as you can access ebaY.

Paladin74

what is a PAC? Political Action Committee- they're the ones who do the fundraising, hence the little aside about you having your own. I think it admirable that you inspire people to go to such lengths on your behalf. Something like that usually speaks to character. By the by, the Hanwei H/H sword (...

Paladin74

They are nice looking, would also like to see how they look when worn.

Paladin74

And, if you're looking for one on the cheap, it'd be hard to beat this:
