Meh, I like maces. Any areas on the helm to test with extra conviction?

Caius705

Out of curiosity, is there any commonly accepted method for testing helms and their tempers? Besides beating it with a mace?

Caius705

I'll know Monday or Tuesday. Visiting family. If items come, no need for refund of any kind. No worries.

Caius705

Pictures? Just so happens I'm in the market.

Caius705

No idea. Tell me when it gets there Tim.

Caius705

I know I sent something with the midgrade one. Above parcel, but not overnight. Express maybe? Tracking came with. Insurance was extra.

Caius705

Damn that's pretty. It's a good thing I'm firmly 14th century, or I'd be convincing my lady why I need that as well.

Caius705

Odd. I shipped a package yesterday and the tracking came with it.

Caius705

Nevermind, I see it is 14 gauge (previous post). Send me a paypal address and a total with shipping to 77708, if you'd be so kind, and I'll send the money after work.

Caius705

It is 14 gauge stainless, yes? I have a 16 gauge stainless and it dents more than I'm comfortable with.

Caius705

I'm assuming its 14 gauge stainless, yes?

Caius705

What size on the bascinet? If even close to 24" , I'll take it.

To clarify, My head is 24" around the brow. If its fairly close to that, I'd like it

Edited for clarity.

Caius705

Are the prices still current on your klappvisors? And is shipping from Canada to the US fairly reasonable? I thought I remembered seeing that it was.

Caius705

I'm thinking you meant wool, but that would be pretty awesome to see.

Caius705

Or worse, the marshal will. That won't go well.

Caius705

I vote Caesars.

Caius705

Would you consider selling any of this separately?

Caius705

I rather like the antlers, in my opinion, I don't think the hussar wings would look as good. Just my opinion.

Caius705

24". Right now, I'm more likely going to try to pick up a klappvisor bascinet (flat face style). Don't suppose you make those, do you?

Caius705

If I thought I could fit my head inside the kettle, I'd be trying to explain to my lady why exactly its not the ugliest helmet design ever conceived. (It really is quite nice as kettles go)

Came for that, stayed for the spring steel.

Caius705

I have a 24" head, but prefer a tight fit on my helm, I'm fairly certain I could wear this, no?

Caius705

Damn your tiny head and your tiny chest.

Caius705

Thank you. I went ahead and just got vibram soles from Viking. They're lovely,and I can move in them just as well as tennis shoes. Wish the buckles Were sturdier, bent two (one I can fix, one maybe not) in one day of fighting. Thinking I'll get laced ones next time. One other thing. The term "assume...

Caius705

As long as it's before gulf, you'll hear no complaints from me.

Caius705

Considered contacting him via facebook? He has a link on his profile.

Caius705

Ah. You really oughta try a buckler. Mine is 11.5" wide and I've never liked a shield more. So light...

Caius705

Ooh, whatcha selling sevastian?

Caius705

Has anyone else received their items yet? I have yet to, was just wondering.

Caius705

I agree with you steve, I use the term corrazina specifically to differentiate between the sub types of CoPs.

Caius705

Welcome. Ironically enough, it was my friend from Alaska who showed that link to me.

Caius705

http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/tools/tools.html

About 3/4 of the way down the page, rectangular, square, circular, etc.

Is that what you're looking for?

Caius705

In that case, I'd certainly be interested in more measurements of the suits.

Caius705

I also make a corrazina, no pics atm; I can do it as a finished covered armor or a kit. I also do a Wisby style COP kit, again as a finished armor or a kit. EDIT: these are both of HDPE plastic, so light, no rust. Out of curiosity, do you have a variety of patterns for these? My lady was interested.

Caius705

Do you think the mild suit would fit someone who has I 6' 225 lbs with a 47" chest?
It seems unlikely, but if I would I'd be interested in it as well.
