Picture link doesn't work for me either

Caius705

In the same vein, can you let me know if you get a Ruger SR40c?

What size are you? I might have an HE linen tunic and wool chausses (never worn) that I can trade. I'll have to dig through my cedar trunk this weekend and see what I have. I also have a spiffy cotehardie I could trade you (I'm trying to thin down my garb closet. 12 pairs of chausses and 5 cotehard...

I actually considered buying it and putting it on a bascinet. There are a few manuscript illustrations of that, so I probably could have done it.

Caius705

Whats the construction on that scale? Rings under or sewn to a backing?

Caius705

You'll probably do better if you list size and possibly maker as well.

Shoulda let me use a mace on you, woulda been no problem keeping count...
After the official rounds were over, we did a few rounds on the barricade with maces. So much fun.

I am thinking of putting together a 15th c. Italian curass out of mild, cold rolled steel. Would people recommend 14 guage in front, including folds, and 16 guage in back including folds and tassets? Or would 16 guage front with folds and 18 guage back with folds and tassets be fine? What are you u...

^This guy, I like the way he thinks.

Caius705

I thought it was revival who was.

Caius705

Does it attach to a coif or is it attached the the mail itself?

Caius705

There was a thread with four listed on it a few months back. You might look through the archive and find who made them. don't know what your budget is, accdntprone is almost certainly the best value for the price, and probably the most inexpensive as well.

Caius705

He'll probably be so brain dead from making so many spangens that he'll make a crusader/spangen hybrid by accident.

Caius705

Though his waiting list is getting a little long(a few months IIRC), I seem to remember that accdntprone makes crusader helms. Maybe talk to him?

Caius705

Are you looking for an SCA legal one?

Caius705

I'd disagree with that. If there isn't evidence for it in 1603, but there is evidence in 1703, then can you really say that nothing changed? And if you have evidence from 1603 and from 1703, use the 1603 one.

I distinctly remember you already having a leather gorget, no?

Caius705

The question I have then is what should the construction be and how should it be worn? Just light padding or thicker like a gambeson?

Caius705

Ah, now I see it.

Which figure in particular are you looking at in that manuscript illustration?

Sounds very well padded. I have about a 24" head though. Would be worried the tight fit would get me concussed.

Caius705

What gauge?

Caius705

Link?

Caius705

How about this instead Tim?

Caius705

ideal chest size might be good as well, as sizing can vary wildlly within that weight range. Too small for me.

Caius705

I always called those bulldog shears, not sure if that's the right name for them. Compound shears I've heard as well.

Caius705

Sizing info would be cool.

Caius705

Well not sure how to do it...so. No big deal. I think it has run its course and wouldn't matter much. No one has expressed interest in the composition of the dome in any event so...will likely just put it back on the shelf or use it for archery practice. Where in texas are you? I have a metal sheet...

Caius705

Have a link for us? I might buy one for the local workshop

And replied.

Caius705

More likeky to sell I'd be willing to bet it would sell if you could confirm that it is in fact 14 gauge, not 16. No one is willing to wear 16 for SCA and that is the biggest chunk of the market here.

Caius705

I'll take the last one left. Paypal address?
