I suspect you're going to see decorative washers or something like them on coats-of-plates, fabric-covered cuisses and the like during the transitional period.

Klaus the Red

Ought that not to be "Baudree"?

Dibs on aventail, pending pics...

Ooh. I have a 17th century haft that needs a head of this pattern, must put on wish list...

Raymond's Quiet Press sells some small floral belt mounts that would work, though being cast, they are thicker and more sculpted than stamped washers. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down here: https://www.quietpress.com/later.html

I've had a sudden attack of budgetary reality. Dibs released on the mace- Talieson, it's all yours.

Klaus the Red

Dibs on the gothic mace- outside my period, but I've always wanted one. PM sent with shipping address.

Also, the link to the Viking shield pic doesn't work.

Hell yes dibs. Sending PM...

Klaus the Red

Yep.

My father is an art dealer and he agrees, Romanesque and possibly a treasure. He pointed out that the flat back and the weathered condition suggest a figure in an exterior niche. It might have been part of a larger composition, such as the attached example of Christ and the apostles.

Klaus the Red

How do you feel about hourglass gauntlets? I have an unassembled set of parts on the smaller side. Drop me a PM if interested.

I just bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stone-Statue-of-Medieval-Religious-Figure-SERTOR-/151014378810?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AL%3AOU%3AUS%3A3160&item=151014378810&nma=true&si=tJS4G%252FvFA6Xumuq1FoT8rRhVvCc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I'm pretty certain this figure is m...

Dibs withdrawn, too small to wear over mail...

Klaus the Red

Ooh, flashback- looks a lot like my own from 2 armors ago. Tentative dibs, sending PM...

Klaus the Red

Yep, I can see those. I shared this with someone's gauntlet search on the armor-for-sale FB page.

Klaus the Red

PM sent also.

Klaus the Red

Ben, I'd be curious to know your rates for this as well. I too have an oversize shirt that I'm perfectly capable of altering, but I have so many projects to complete for my new kit that I may want to spend money on it rather than time. (Mine is Historic Enterprises, and I have a supply of old Forth ...

Klaus the Red

Don't need it, but mild vs. stainless and maker would be useful to know.

Klaus the Red

Not so much. The article was published in 1943.

...and in other news, the Chartres brig is far too late to have belonged to Charles VI.

Klaus the Red

I agree that it's probably a translation problem, if the title is any indication. It translates roughly to, "An armor fragment from the early brigandine period." No suggestion of a gambeson there.

Klaus the Red

I looked just for fun, but it looks like you have pics of everything except the gauntlets on your photo bucket page...

Klaus the Red

Hi, Pot, Kettle here.

Klaus the Red

I also have a 10th-century Ottonian persona that I'm collecting one piece at a time.

Klaus the Red

Sigh. I need another DIY armor project like I need another case of tendonitis, but this is just throwing it away. Besides, I got $40 sitting in my PayPal account crying out for a purpose. Dibs.

13th century Scotsman this time...

Considering the correct spelling of "Renaissance" is included in the category listing so the seller really has no excuse, hell, no.

Ugly as sin but appears to have had SCA use- potential bargain for any new fighters looking for a cheap hat.

Klaus the Red

Ok, didn't see that the Baron beat me to it.

Klaus the Red

Greg, I'll take the Tres Riche Heures.

Klaus the Red

Dibs, PM sent.

Likewise Poland. It was not entirely unknown outside the Empire and its sphere of influence- from England, we have a single surviving example (a stained-glass window) depicting a center-mount hundsgugel- but it was certainly the exception.

Klaus the Red

On Svan's website, the "Corrazina type 2 with green leather" is closer to the truth. The problem lies with the fauld. The infamous composed suit with the red-covered cuirass in the Met was cobbled together by Bashford Dean with a fauld made of large, vertically segmented plates, which pattern he pre...
