Assuming the plaque belt is brass, which I think it is, I'll go 45 on it.

I'm watching it. I tend to just wait till the end to bid. If you want me to go ahead and bid I certainly can

Just a heads up.

I found that birthdaysale (no spaces) worked.

But Swete, if you sell this, you can't play in the 14th century deed at BAM.... Haha! It isn't my helm to wear. Plus I don't have a 14th century kit to go with it if it was mine. And my buddy, Olivier, needs a roof over his head, so it's gotta go. Ah, nevermind then. I suppose you can be excused fr...

Any idea what you'd want for it?

Looking to to buy a full length duster for a costume I'm putting together (NCR Ranger for any fallout fans) ebay had new ones but it seems a shame to beat up a good jacket for a costume. I thought someone here might have an old one in the closet. Looking for men's XL, possibly L or XXL, in brown dar...

Caius705

What size swords are these intended for? I can't tell on my phone. If rapier/schlager sized, I'd like the black one.

Caius705

Hey, will you have this open tomorrow as well? My lady needs garb (which apparently I have to sew as she's about as domestic as a rabid wolf) but she won't be able to go through and pick out what she'd like until tomorrow.

Caius705

Size?

Caius705

Got a shield boss and a gorget today, very pretty.

Caius705

Hey otto, while I'm thinking of it, how much extra would a blackened set cost? Living down by the gulf coast rust is a constant enemy.

Caius705

If I had a set of spring steel finger gauntlets and only wanted to fight in SCA combat, I'd probably chance it, especially if they went a little deeper than period so that they could ground out on a very hard hit. Grain of salt though, as I've never owned finger gaunts.

Caius705

Damn, too bad.

Caius705

Thanks, I appreciate it greatly. and complete side note about BAM, are you going to fight in the 14th century deed or the Viking raid? Cause I'm hitting up people early for them. Getting kits together and what not.

Caius705

You could do like the 14th century BOTN boys do for mittens, that is they get Grettir ones, which are mittens but are shaped to look like finger gaunts. 4130, IIRC, and supposed to be the best gauntlets you can get. I did a quick internet search, and came up empty. How could I find an image or link...

You wear the ones that are also sunglasses, so that no one knows you're being safe AND cool.

If I had all my new armour together, I'd be sore tempted When snubbing your nose at the SCA, you don't need to follow the Armour requirements. Well, the lack of a helm precludes me from wanting to have my head bashed. :) Nah, don't be silly. It's just good for fencing. A pair of gym shorts, an unde...

Caius705

I have lots, yes. I'll likely be bringing some to BAM if I still have some after WoA. What all do you have? I'd be interested in 1 3/4 inch and thicker. And would you mind, when the time comes closer, if I pre order some from you, so I don't have to run around trying to buy up rattan and do 10,000 ...

Don't suppose you have any left over, I happen to be looking for some sticks. Need one for my dane axe and I only have 1.25"

No, ABS is crappy and tends to shatter (from secondhand accounts, I've never used it, only used kydex). But that stuff is fairly thick and might last. Personally, I'd try to find some 2.5-3mm thick aluminum bar stock, try to get pieces about 2-3cm wide, then cut it off into strips of the appropriate...

Your right, it was Stonekeep. Just visited the webpage. Very sad.

Caius705

You really ought to specifiy what exactly you mean by plate? 14th century? Doesn't seem to be, unless you want a super tight fit. Full gothic or maximillian plate? Maybe just a bit.

Caius705

These are stupidly solid and the price is good. That's what I got my set for when stonekeep was still making them.

Caius705

Sounds like you might be thinking of stonekeep armory. Last I'd heard theyshutdown operations.

Looks like you've got second dibs. Guy behind me has first option since I passed on it.

Just telling you since it looks like you'renew judging by your post count.

Caius705

Gaston makes 410 stainless spring steel splints for van braces and will be making cuisse and greave ones as well IIRC. rrelatively inexpensive and very protective. Might be a good place to start.

Caius705

I second spring steel. Simple cop in 301 SS.

Caius705

Seems fair to me. If I were inclined to really get into the whole spangen thing, I might do the same.

Caius705

Hmmm. Your shop monkey keeps making helms sized for his head. If he starts his own armory line, he could call it KiwiHead armory.

(The fruit, not the flightless bird. Although come to think of it, a kiwi bird in gothic plate would be cool as hell)
