Fantastic rifle. I'd be interested if it wasn't the SOCOM. Need that longer barrel myself.

Saw these on one of Hammerbreaker's For Sale Posts, and couldn't pass them up. Glad I didn't. VERY well made, strapping is very thick, and the spauders themselves well made and well formed. Such a great job on these. I tried to avoid the brass edging on most of my armour, but now that I have it on t...

Thanks Eric.

James River Armour standard size.

They fit me decently (I'm 5'10, 175lbs, medium build).

This region had a fairly unique kettle hat design. If you wanted something that really evoked the time and region this "Scandinavian" design would be an excellent choice. <img src="http://www.whitemountainarmoury.com/images/random/hjalmrefpr2.jpg"> Hrm... now to convince you to do a SCA l...

New. Never been used. I've tried them on. They just are not for me. They are a bit to simple as these are the basic basics with the simple upper cuisse. Great for a first time fighter or something to just strap into for practice. Mild steel with a good polish, and straps and buckles. I'm asking for ...

Both are earlier than the Battle of Wisby, but might accurately reflect a town militia with slightly outdated gear.

1308 is a long way away from 1360's unfortunately.

Whonew, how much for the ones in the middle? What size are they? Do you have a set in mild?

William Frisbee

Oh man, I wish I knew they came in spring steel...

My cold rolled will be good enough I guess!

William Frisbee

Another gambeson/arming coat can never hurt.

Looking forward to the images.

This is why I love the Archive.

My current flat ring riveted hauberk is galvanized, and I was just going to post how to get the yucky zink off... now I see that its probably just best to leave it on!

You guys rock.

William Frisbee

I've seen (and I own the book) about Wisby. We know the defenders wore a lot of chain with Coats of Plates of all types as well as the occasional gauntlet (much like Whonew makes). I have seen a lot of coifs, but nothing on the helmets and limb armour that would have been use in the time around that...

William Frisbee

Wow thats some fantastic work.

William Frisbee

Why couldn't you be shorter? I'm almost debating just buying it because its so damn nice...

William Frisbee

How is this helm worn? Is it over another helm? How is it strapped?

I know how it attaches to the breast plate, but was wondering about the suspension inside the helm itself.

William Frisbee

Got my hammer head (from Revival.us) on my shaved pole last night.

My goodness it looks nice. My low profile thrusting tips will be here when Estrella is over as my vendor of choice is out there...

William Frisbee

whonew, let me know if you need a tester for your hourglass gauntlets. I love your Wisby style, so I imagine your hourglass would be awesome too.

Of course, I don't want a kit, I want the stuff ready to use!

Let me know I get my tax refund soon...

William Frisbee

Mine is the 5th one in on the top. Dirk and Arrow Creations gonfalon shipped rather quickly (I was suprised how quick it was finished0, and it looks fantastic. Of course its just hanging on the wall in my officer currently, but hey, comes spring time...)... Colours are birhgt and its a HEAVY canvas....

William Frisbee

As soon as my tax refund goes thru, I'll pick up one of each!

No its a national thing(Federal Firearm License), especially across state lines.

William Frisbee

Both of mine are still under construction by Adric13. Pictures when they are done! Or when he sends me some!

William Frisbee

You may want to send Adric13 a PM. He is doing up a couple of shields for me right now. I don't know what his queue is currently like however...

William Frisbee

Wow, a thing of beauty.

William Frisbee

Ordered on the 26th. Had them on the 29th.

Awesome!

William Frisbee

Email sent about helm...

William Frisbee

Way out of my persona era, but damn thats a nice looking hat.

William Frisbee

Don't be hating because we have all the cool armour.

William Frisbee

Did you say arming caps?

Count me in! I totally forgot to get one...

William Frisbee

Thats because us 14th century types are better than the rest. I mean really those 13th century guys are squishy and the 15th century guys are too shiney.

Us 14th century guys are right in the middle!

William Frisbee

Let me just say that Baron Eirik responds VERy quickly to emails, is very willing to make suggestions, and help in any way possible to get you the rattan the way you want. Baron Eirik's committment to his customers is exacly how a business should run and he needs to be commended on this. Thank you B...

William Frisbee

That helm is full of awesome sauce...

I wish it was June and I'd pick it up in a heartbeat!
