Many years ago after loosing Meridian Crown to Maximilian I presented myself in court and placed my hauberk, sword and 2 sticks of rattan at his feet as victor of the day. His Grace was kind enough to return my arms and armor in return for a vow that I would fight for and with him in the Meridian ar...

Sure does look like fun but I'm not letting anyone swing a pick axe at me.

Yup, all three suits.

Baring SCA required (hidden) safety equipment and modern materials such as stainless etc. my kit should pass muster.

My SCA kit is my Living History kit.

Greenshield just bought a new hauberk from Master Knuut with the attached coif that he wears under the helm. You can PM him and see how he likes it, if he doesn't see the thread. Uric I have the attached hood and ventail on my knutt hauberk. I have not had any problems with it. I use either a padde...

Vitus, if you liked that one, wait til you see the latest (and last) one.

Or you could go the other way. Early period kits that involve no metal armor other than the helm, such as viking, Irish or even later such as a 13th cent man at arms who only wore a gambeson and a kettle hat (could have my dates off here). These persona's can have very period kit with hidden SCA bit...

Just a quick note:

That sweet Rus helm I'm wearing in the second set of lamallar kit pics was made by Donngal. It's a piece of art.

I find the art of the English language works much better and is understood by more people than code talk IMHO. Code = Lazy in my book.

I regret I didn't get the opportunity to meet Tasha +1 when I was a single man

Though, my lovely wife did enjoy meeting you so if you're ever in the marked to be wife #2 you just let me know. Tasha+3 has a nice ring to it.

(all in good fun)

I shoot for authenticity. My SCA kit is the same kit I use for LH shows in the states and over seas. The only additions are those required by the SCA. For an early period kit this can be a bit of a challenge but it's all covered and low profile.

Greenshield, did you ever post anything on how you made that sword hilt? Vladimir I didn't make that sword. A good gentle from Gleann Abhann gifted it to me while I was on the throne. He's on the AA and his name is Paul the Small. It's a fine weapon. Freiman, Thanks for the memory. That was a fine ...

You, Halvgrim? In Rus pants?? Scandalous!

Actually, you will love them. I have 2 pairs and they rock, especially for fighting. Wore mine all through Gulf Wars with out a single issue, tear or hole.

Joram,

Great kit. Is that fabric or leather lining the inside of your ventail?

How about an order list and update on your current backlog??

Hello all. Awhile ago there was a gentleman from Sweden with a new shop who sold various early period viking jewelry and belt fittings. 'Historik' or something along those lines were part of the name of his shop. It seems I have lost the link to his shop. If anyone has this link please post it here ...

Of course we're going to have more injuries than the average American video game playing couch potato. My guess is that we will be fairly average to low on the injury scale when compared with amateur/recreational Rugby, Football (flag or tackle), Roller Derby, Soccer or Baseball player(s). 23 years ...

He has a version of all three of the shoes you have posted. I own 2 pair and love them as do many of the peeps in my household. They should pass muster at any Regia / Vikes UK / Vikes NA event.

A few days ago someone posted a review for Thorthor's Hammer. Think it was Atzinger. Having purchased from him in the past at Pennsic and after reading the glowing review for Thorthor I decided to make another purchase. The prior review was dead on. The pieces I ordered were beautifully crafted, the...

Hello all. Just a quick shout out for the people at Chivalry Bookshelf. I was converted to the fabric helm liners at Gulf Wars. If you haven't tried one you are missing out my friend.

I purchased some viking buckles and arm rings from him a few years ago at Pennsic. Wonderful work, excellent quality and hard to beat prices. My only complaint in the past was he had not updated his website. Seems he's fixed that issue so I just placed an order with him and I plan to order more arm ...

Whats the length on that axe? Does it come with the runes or is that an added extra?

I'm glad to hear so many of you had a great time at GW. Sorry I missed the AA meeting. My service animal was otherwise detained and lost his way while trying to guide me there.

Greetings all. I have a Knutt welded chain hauberk and was wondering how i could go about toning down the high polished look of the metal to something more realistic and used looking(without damaging the welds). I've been fighting in my Knutt aventail for about 10 years and it's still shiny. I know ...
