That is true.

1. then lower jaw is moveable. yes I know that it could be welded in place but you are then looking at issues of striking area from an upper thrust. could be prevented with neck protection. 2. there are a variety of metal projections from the helm that could damage either a sword or an opponet. the ...

If everything else is legal < ie 1" bar entering all gaps an such, and jaw being secure < ie welded>> i would say yep, legal < imo >. Think if people wearing pig faced klapvisors on basinets < more glancing surface sure, but can still get a square on hit >. I'd check with your kingdom earl marshall....

Fighting inside real castles is a great way to go. Shipping and Handling is pretty expensive though.

Seen this piece of work up close and in person at Champion of the Isles in the UK earlier this year. I thought it looked familiar. Have a close up video feed of it with Lord Ozbek video taping it. It truly is a wonderful piece of work.

Airth,

I have one of his sugarloafs, newer design i think. Got it within 4 months of order. Strapping and padding are kinda finicky. Had a brass cross added to mine on order.

Greetings, He may be correct. All openings into the face cannot let a 1" dowel or eq. enter the helm. On the liner, suspension liners are legal providing they give adaquate protection. A suspension leather liner may be good for the top, but you still need something on the side. Look at Steve -SOFC-,...

Greetings, the cording off Massa G's site < even though not authentic by any means > works well and it will be delivered fairly quickly. I'm in England and it got to me in under a week. They didn't even have it in stock and had to order it from somewhere else. So not to bad if you ask me. Saranac Go...

Dont ever remember seeing a barrel shaped basinet before. Hmmm, must be a new find. < ducks runs and hides under a rock >

In most reigons in the sca, chest and even shoulder protection is a "highly recommended" but not mandatory. When using , especialy, sword and shield you rarely get hit in the chest and shoulders. With other weapon forms, not nessesarly the case < only going by Sword and Shield here folks >. Hope tha...

I use leather straps and rivits with burrs. Have use carrage bolts and nuts peined over < a real pain to remove if you ever need to though >.

The "Don't tilt your head" idea would work wonders, if it wern't for 9-12' spears hitting the top of your head Forcing your head back to expose that nice little squishy part. It does happen, a reason the marshall's check for it.

Cheers

Greetings, I have the same problem here. I have a sugarloaf and with the gorget i have almost no gapping all the way around execept the front. I added a triangle of resiliant material to the inside point of my helm suspended by sinew on 2 upper corner points. When i tip my head back, the piece of ma...

Sixtus_Goetz

Ummm, no. Not intentionaly. It does happen on occasion, but by no means is it an "OK" to do it.

What I've always heard it called < shrug >.

put a thrusty at both ends and use it Madu style.

(drops silly stick and runs for cover)

Sixtus_Goetz

Where are you putting this 13th hole at? dead center or somewhere else. With 600 plates i can afford to experiment a little.

Thanks

Sixtus_Goetz

Cedric,

Good to know, have 600 of the Birka plates from GAA on there way. I'll put my 2p in once i've play tested my harness.

The wide wrap tends to come into play in later era's armor. We tend to use it for the 3 points of the knee protection we're required to have < SCA >. There are other ways around it, having the small disk on the outside but have reinforced sides hidden. ------------------ Saranac Goetz Shire of Flint...

Ya know, that actually looks pretty decent. Would figure it would look tacky, but not bad.
