Just wanted to complement fraychef, he posted a pair of used gauntlets for cheap, we came to terms on price quickly, I sent him the money and he sent me the gauntlets. They arrived today and are exactly as described and with a little tlc will serve me well for years. He did forget to shoot me a mess...

Just an FYI I had to unexpectedly cover the midnight shift so when I get out at 7 EST I'm going to go home and crash for a couple hours - I will check this when I get back up around lunch time (just so you don't expect and immediate response).

I'll call dibs pending price & pics if possible. I'm looking for a cheap set, what do you want for them and do you have sizing? Definitely interested, send me a PM.

Linda Steffan (aka Lady Mary Elizabeth Clayson) from M Steffan & Sons Inc in Buffalo has all kinds of rivets: www.steffanleather.com Alternatively you can buy copper roofing nails and copper washers or stainless steel nails and washers and just cut the nails down to the length you need (a really...

a final day

before I head to work, will check this thread when I get home around 9:30 or 10 and if no one is interested will let this slide into the abyss (and will then rebuild the gaunts and put them on Ebay).

happy Friday everyone

So here are a couple questions for you" Can you sew? Crusader is a lot of chainmail but you can do a really good looking kit with a nice gambeson and gamboised cuisses for the cost of fabric and some cotton batting. Hidden plastic armor or hockey/lacrosse gear under it (which you can usually ge...

If you're looking for leather coronets I cannot recommend Merideth the Maskmaker enough (or custom masks, belts, etc). www.merimask.etsy.com Alternatively Sir Kyppyn from the Mid does great leather work too, I don't remember the name of his business but you can reach him through his household web pa...

Nissan, Sorry, wasn't trying to use you as part of the sales pitch - somewhere in my brain I seem to remember a discussion on coloring metal and THOUGHT that that red and black finger gaunts you wear where from Derek. As I said, these don't work for me which is why I am parting with them. I think th...

So since I was foolish enough to list these right before Christmas when people had better things to spend money on and they didn't seel I thought that with tax return season upon us I would give this auction one last chance, I'm going to lower the opening bid to $350 and will run this to Friday nigh...

William Freskyn Murray

I felt obligated to send them an email advising to relist it as a used SCA bascinet with butted chainmail aventail and they might get $100 for it if they find someone looking for a starter helm.

William Freskyn Murray

For anyone waiting on pics sorry, spent the day getting a Xmas tree, etc and then my midnight guy called in so I slept a couple hours and came to work. I will get photos after I get home from work and crash for a few hours.

I have a riveted aluminum shirt bought from Museum Replicas a couple years ago (can be seen on their web page at m). The description says it will fit a 54" chest, is 33" long and 18" sleeves. I am 6'4" and have a 47" chest without gambeson, it fits me with some stretch left,...

William Freskyn Murray

just an FYI I got mine and they're great, so if I'm one of the people you think you still need to locate and ship to cross me off the list.

Windrose usually has them in stock.

my riveted aluminum shirt weighs 7 lbs I love my pourpoint from Revival, I have low back problems and a properly worn and tightened pourpoint moves the weight of my full steel legs from a my lower back where they are tied to a kidney belt to my rib cage and gut. I wear a gambeson over it with plasti...

a Wednesday bump

PM's and email responded to

Will

William Freskyn Murray

actually from what I've read and the unhappy customers I've spoken to it's more of a matter or being unhappy at taking a year and a half to get a product that isn't as described. I know a couple people that use them and like them. I believe the archives own Nissan Maxima wears a pair as do a few peo...

290 views and not a single question or bid? Are economic times that bad or are people waiting until the end to try and get a deal?

Oh, and a Bump back to page 1.

I purchased a set of used finger gauntlets off Evil Bay made by Performance Armory (his type 1 which can be seen here m). They had seen better days when I got them, the left gauntlet had the ring finger and thumb disconnected. The right had more strapping tape than leather holding it together. The f...
