A friend is looking for low profile elbows and knees- I just referred him to your in-stock cops page.

Dibs on the red wool tunic and the HE belt pouch, sending an offer by PM.

The integral nasal then makes a reappearance in the 15th century, vis. certain of the Venetian sallets from Chalcis: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gorekun/6 ... 9067618754

The .com suffix is missing from your links, they don't work otherwise.

Keep in mind that all the soldiers in this scene are caricatures, sloppily dressed. Perhaps the toggle on the braes is meant as a "poor man's buckle."

Klaus the Red

Kel- that's my sense as well. The project in question is destined to carry the tableware for Their Majesties of the West and I don't mind adding some purely SCAdian details so long as I can be honest about the utter lack of documentation. :) I believe someone else plans to make individual quilted ba...

Has anyone seen evidence for the use of upholstery or textile lining inside wooden chests, particularly in the 14th-15th century? (Or any kind of furniture upholstery, for that matter?) I'm finishing up a box to carry pottery and am thinking of padding the inside.

Klaus the Red

I got the glassware the other day, safe and sound- very nice packing job.

Klaus the Red

Got a range of years and a nationality?

Klaus the Red

Replica longships for sale, apparently.

I'll take glasses B and C, please! Ship to 94086.

Klaus

Klaus the Red

Ditto.

Klaus the Red

I'll take the scissors- sending PM. How long are they? Bohemond does not currently list the item.

Klaus the Red

When would you like to see it completed? I'm just starting my first attempt at adding engraved brass trim to an armor piece (retrofitting my hundsgugel visor). I'm hoping to get most of it done next week. If it turns out well and I think my ability is worthy of your project, I'll gladly throw my hat...

I have a straight guard and a brazil-nut pommel taken off an old Norman-style sword that might work for you. The pommel is designed to screw onto a threaded "rat tail" tang so it needs to be drilled through if you want it properly secured. I suspect they're chrome-plated but you'd have to look very ...

I'm passing this on to my favorite West Kingdom hoplite.

Klaus the Red

Or I'll give you a nice discount off an item from my garb business, the relaunch of which is in progress. Beer is only temporary, but good clothing is an heirloom.

Klaus the Red

Yep, duly communicated. Next time I'll make sure I subscribe to the inter-agency cooperation memo.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/351040059875?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 This just came and went on eBay. I gave it my best shot, but I couldn't go the distance in the last-minute bidding war without wrecking my credit and jeopardizing my marriage. I bet the winner can sell this fo...

And for the tailoring geeks among us… grand asiette seams outlined in ermine!!

Klaus the Red

Dibs! PM sent.

Klaus the Red

Aha! Icefalcon. Doesn't say if they're stainless or mild, though.

Klaus the Red

Talbot used to, but I don't think he carries them any more. You might hit up one of the Ukrainian armorers- I've seen post-shaped steel vervelles on some of the import helmets.

Klaus the Red

Cancelled, thought better of it.

Klaus the Red

The mail strip has been sold.

Klaus the Red

Glaukos, will this work? I need a few bucks to pay a bill so I'd like to move it ASAP.

Klaus the Red

I take it you'd like to stay in the same material and gauge? I have a Coburg-style bascinet that has the right dimensions for your padding needs, but it's 14 ga. mild.

Klaus the Red

I have a strip taken off the bottom of a stainless pin riveted shirt that's about 47.5" long and 4" wide, though there's a few inches at one end that are 2 rows thinner. That could be cut into thirds or quarters and made into a square. If you don't have the means to do riveted links, butted links wo...

Klaus the Red

Wedge or pin? Mild or stainless? I have a few bits lying about, might be able to set you up for a reasonable price.

Klaus the Red

I've got an inquiry in to a stage manager friend who knows the local theater trade inside and out, hopefully she will have some ideas in that area.

Klaus the Red

I am running an ad hoc troupe of 6 armored fighters to provide entertainment at a corporate meeting of some sort, to be held at a medieval-themed winery next Friday. The organizer would like me to include a brief fighting demo. This is a paid gig, off the SCA books, and we may be doing it with rebat...

This for late 14th century Northern Europe. Dead simple to make, takes up almost no space when folded.

Klaus the Red

Tentative dibs, PM sent re trade.

Klaus the Red

PM sent about cuirass.

Klaus the Red

If it were me, I might ask my local kids' marshals for clarification of how they intend to interpret the revised standards, and what specifically they will not allow, before investing.
