Sean, you are hilarious. Why not just upload your pics THEN post your ad?

Seems out of character for Murdock- but I've only made his acquaintance these past two years. Let's hear it, Murdock! What happened?

Paladin74

WHOA. Three years later and he still hasn't gotten his armor? WTF INDEED.

Paladin74

Can't say I recognize the work.

Hey Yury - PAY ATTENTION! WE GOT QUESTIONS MAN!

( really trying not to suggest a nice vinaigrette.... :wink: oops ) Fava beans and chianti. With a sallet? That's it? No meat? I want to call you a name, one that is derogatory for a specific subset of humanity- one that doesn't really mean what they think it means, it just means. Well, you know. H...

Paladin74

Thanks man, it figures.

Paladin74

Holy thread-o-mancy, Batman! This thing was almost exactly 7 years dead! lol

Paladin74

Its a beauty, good sir- nothing wrong with catering to your audience! Understood on the leather grip- I can't do it either, I've no hand for this sort of thing, much as I admire it.

If it doesn't cover her crotch, she's probably in for it anyway.

I'll vouch for Svan's wares as we've dealt with eachother in the past. If there's malware on his page, he didn't put it there intentionally. I'm not getting the same message- I can click the link but I can't see the pic. Something about cookies not being accepted or whatever.

Paladin74

That's almost a short sword- definitely something to wear to court where swords are forbidden but daggers are not. You'd have the advantage with that there. I really like it- but I'm not in love with the wood grip or the super shine of the blade and hilt components.

Paladin74

They do good work; I have been fortunate in that my items have always arrived usually as prescribed. I think the longest transit time was 22 days or something like that. I hope you get that box too- it'll be like Christmas!

Paladin74

Damn, thought that name sounded familiar! lol

Thanks, Meinhard! I'm curious- would this be a 13th or 14th C piece?

Paladin74

Oh, I'd love a helm w/a horsehair crest...but I keep hearing that its only for a specific time frame (ie, earlier than mine, 12/13C ).

Paladin74

Does Jim Shepard have a website?

Paladin74

I have both of his, the prick and the rowel. Nicely done...but I should've gotten them plated in gold.

What type of armor are you looking for? Are you aiming for a more historical presentation or just to get on the field?

Paladin74

http://www.oakheartarmoury.com - their shield blanks start at $40 I think.

Paladin74

Harry, Have you dealt with these folks before? Are they located in The States, or in India? I was not able to get a shipping price without giving them more information than I was willing to. http://allbeststuff.com/Flat-Riveted-Original-Brass-Chain-Mail-Hood?filter_name=brass%20&filter_description=...

Pics of you in it? I was one of the three and I haven't heard a thing about mine yet.

Paladin74

The Sharukhans ones seem to be the better option; unless the assumption is that strong that age of craft's is also made with hidden armor plating.

Paladin74

Hey Russ, it wasn't your fault- I should've asked more questions instead of getting all fired up because ZOMG!!! TEH SCALE HAWNESS IS SO SMEXY!! - that was my bad. Don't worry about the aventail; I don't have the necessary skill to make adjustments and no one's close enough for me to go and have som...

Paladin74

I'm 2" shorter, 3" less broad across the chest and 2" less robust around the waist. Thank GOD! That's the nicest COP I've seen in a while.

Paladin74

I've seen that term "grounded" bandied about but I'm reasonably certain it isn't electrical in orientation.

Paladin74

There's a place called Avenue, Md? How far is it from Glendale, Md?

Paladin74

For some reason, thinking about leather covered armor brings the Rohirrim to mind. Eomer's rig was leather covered steel and damn if I don't want it for my own! My own...

Paladin74

This is very disappointing; I've chatted w/Scott about a commission before andI backburnered it due to cash restraints- but seeing these extremely long (not to mention completely unreasonable) delays is putting me off entirely. If he can't do something as small as blackening already existing pieces ...

Paladin74

Damn man, that's fucked up...I'm glad you're still with us.

Paladin74

Yes, it is the same weekend as MTA. Actually, it is always the same weekend as MTA. Both are scheduled on the 3rd weekend of March, so they collide every single year. If I weren't doing this, I would enjoy seeing MTA some year. Stop by on the way there? I am stuck at the show all day both days. Tha...

Paladin74

Dang, this is the same weekend as the Military Through the Ages timeline show down in Williamsburg, which some of my knight brothers are on hand as reenactors. But this...this is so much closer. Quandary.

I'd heard this, and also that they'd done the same (not WETA, but whoever produced it) for Kingdom of Heaven.

Paladin74

That is a powerful good looking helm!

Paladin74

SwordNArmory's been around a while...they've just branched off into selling on other sites (as opposed to their own which I believe they still have). I'd still go with Jestyr if only because you know who you're dealing with more or less personally.
