Re: Size 9 thigh high leather boots.

I got a pair in size 10, same manufacturer I'm pretty sure if anyone's interested. I'll let'm go for $60 shipped as they're used and a little dusty. No issues or problems, I ended up w/a second pair because I thought these had gotten lost during the move. Shipping to 48237? (also, when/where are th...

Re: Hardened and Hardenable Metals Suitable for Making Armou

Just to make sure I understand. In comparable gauges, 1050 is stronger/more dent resistant then 410, while 410 is more resistant to corrosion? Is that, along with the difference in the quench, the only major practical differences between the two? 1050 Carbon Steel - In the annealed condition it can ...

Only one of those was a "heater" style shield...the rest are bucklers and smaller than you are seeking.
