The Armour Archive

Sevastian

Glad to have you back, Mike! I can now make my own mild cops, but I'm sure to be buying some stainless cops from you soon!

Sevastian

Aesir Metalwyrks. $400 is a big ask for this helmet done to SCA spec with aventail,IMHO.

Sevastian

I'm making his gorget and though he has an inch or two on me in height we are very similar in most other measurements. From what I've seen the adjustments(I'm positive there will be adjustments) should be minimal. The only thing that concerns me is the torso armor's extended neck coverage. We'll see.

Sevastian

I'm thinking of getting some sword fittings from RQP, so I hope this goes through soon.

Sevastian

That looks to be a type of corrazina. I'm not sure if anyone is selling patterns for one such, but I think Pitbull is offering COPs though I can't say if he has them in kit form or as patterns.

Sevastian

Should be easy to lay out a pattern in cardboard, work out any fitment issues, then transfer to the plastic. I believe Pitbull still sells patterns as well.

Sevastian

It will be next Tuesday, the 8th as I'm currently in Disneyland and will be setting out for Las Vegas tomorrow. Suffice to say, it will hit with authority and look good doing it. When I get back, I will put some chrome duct tape on it 'cause I like blingy weapons.

Sevastian

Spectacular for a first helmet, I'd say! Do you have any more pics of the finished product-perhaps of you wearing it?

Sevastian

Ordered one of his hand axes last week and got it today. I can't wait to give it a try-it looks to be a solid hitter and a lot of fun fighting florentine with a sword(can you say shield-hook?).

Sevastian

I love my Aesir helmet and its proven to be a tank. All my dealings with Duke Eisfalke have been awesome. Customer service from either is second to none, IMHO.

Sevastian

Dude! Bring'em to a practice! At that price, I'd be stunned if someone doesn't buy them-and save you on shipping! That is a smoking deal!

Sevastian

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Sevastian

Ok, I can't wait to see these in person!

Sevastian

I recommend Aesir Metalwyrks. Sir Dongal makes gorgeous helmets that are tough. He now offers a semi-custom line as well. That being said, if Duke Icefalcon has what you want buy from him with no reservations. His customer service is second to none.

Sevastian

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

Sevastian

Will you be attending any upcoming events here in Oertha? I understand taking time off to heal. This is a gorgeous piece and I'm sure it must pain you to part with it. A local fighter might want it and be able to take it off your hands and save you shipping costs. I will put the word out on your beh...

Sevastian

Elegant. I like the locking cheeks. Beautiful work as usual, Sir!

Sevastian

Very pretty. Are they for sale?

Sevastian

This is a bit overdue, sorry Frank. I ordered a couple pairs of boots during the birthday sale, some two buckle boots for myself and luxury tall boots for my Wife. Frank was quick with all communication and update inquiries. On his advice, we went up a size for my Wife's pair and they fit like a glo...

Sevastian

Thats what I was thinking. I've seen brass for the hangers and furmiture of the sheath. We'll see what I can come up with.

Spasibo! Time to get more sheet brass for the sheath and perhaps the handle.

Sevastian

C&T rapier is fun, you can get very creative with helms due to much lighter calibration and as long as blow recognition isn't a factor the rest of you can follow suit, so to speak. That reminds me, I need to work on my heavy rapier kit. Anyway, good luck with your sale. A chap as tall as you could w...

Sevastian

I'm wanting to get serious about playing with greatsword and polearms(SCA armored combat) and wanted to know if there was a commonly worn dagger-I'm guessing 1000-1200 time period? I can make a rondel dagger easy enough, but if there were a specific style used, I'd rather go that route. The more I d...

Sevastian

How big are you? Will there be an inner liner?

/\ This +2!

Sevastian

He went to in stock only for a while then, unfortunately went through divorce. I don't think he's made any armor since.

Sevastian

Lookin good, Sir! On a side note, I've seen a couple of the semi-custom "budget" helms and I have to say you could spend a lot more for a lot less. Must be a reason for so many Aesir up here!

Sevastian

I want one. About how much might shipping be to 99507 zip?

Sevastian

I'm excited to see this! I am starting to make some simple pieces of armor but when someone wants something pretty I need go to armorers. I know you aren't taking custom orders, but I will be mentioning your new site to peoples in my Barony!

Sevastian

Go, Frank! I received an email informing me my birthday sale order is on the way-I can't wait!

Sevastian

Wow, the splints alone must be worth more than that! GLWS!

Sevastian

I understand. It never hurts to ask.

Sevastian

Al, how much would it be to make the set above in stainless? Beautiful work as usual, BTW!

Sevastian

I'm jealous since I have to make due in my living room-no garage and a very patient Wife. Maybe someday.

Sevastian
