Here you go Odo. We had the pleasure of fighting next to both Sir Richard and Sir Robert. They were at the edge of the Saxon center and we held the edge of the Saxon left.

Greetings all. Just got back from Old Blighty. Like a few of you out there myself and my friend Ricky, known here as Uric Blackoak, went over for the Hastings reenactment. http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/14/14/8/51/73/2543851730048832893HhKkoO_th.jpg It seems only fare to post some pics now for those ...

Myself and Uric Blackoak will be arriving on Site some time Friday. We have the honor of accepting the hospitality of Valhalla and will camp with them. I look forward to seeing you all both upon the field and under the tent....beer tent that is.... Safe journey to all my brothers in arms! Camric

Blaine, I don't believe the weight of the shirt help in the protection it offered. If anything, a heavier shirt (especially a butted one) is a detriment to itself as it tends to pull itself apart over time. One thing the heavier shirt did do was flair out when I turned or twisted. As a result an opp...

I have pretty much always fought in a chain hauberk. My 1st weighed in at 35lbs. I now wear one of Forthcastle Arms flat ring, rivited hauberks weighing about 16lbs and I have one two coronet lists in it. It's not the best protection for our game but its what my persona would have worn I love the lo...

Sceot,

Check the Bayeaux Tapestry rolls. They have a list of all of the Normans who went with William. Mix and match your favorites from there for a Normand but be careful to choose the correct region or you might end up Flemish and we all know how reliable they are

Saverio, That is indeed my persona. My persona went over to Ireland in 1169/70 with Richard fitz Gilbert de Clare to fight for Dermot MacMurchada to regain his kingdom. Depending on which aspect you choose to recreate will determin how difficult your kit will be. If you're portraying a Norman than m...

I've been following Museum Reps since they started. I think I still have catalog #2. Back then they carried Del Tin pieces and they were well worth dealing with. The prices were amazing and I was never disapointed with a single piece I ordered. Some of my favorite pieces are old Del Tin's ordered th...

Greetings all! I am currently in Sydney Australia and would be very happy to meet up with any AA members while I am here. I'm here for a month or so so shoot me an E-mail. Egfroth, I here this is you're stomping grounds. Imagine my surprise when I wandered into the Sydney National Maritime Museum to...

Greenshield

Oswyn, My SCA persona starts around 1167-9 between the 2nd and 3rd crusade and centers around the Norman invasion of Ireland. It seems to be a little know piece of history but I've found it to be quite facinating and far from the 'main stream' crusader era persona. My persona is that of a Marcher lo...

Greenshield

Pelagius, I wear the bazubands because they are easy to hide under a tunic and do not bind or hinder arm movement. However, you do need to remember you will be wearing them when you make your tunic otherwise you will not be able to bend your arm at all if the sleeve is too snug at the elbow. Sir Ken...

Sure is pretty indeed. Mirror polished pretty. Not a spot of rust or scuff to be seen on a single piece of armour.

but still, very pretty

I have never had a problem with Beathan either and have placed many orders with him. Some the the castings I have received were little rough in places (barely worth mentioning) but well worth the price paid. My latest order is running very late so this thread has raised my interest but Beathan conta...

Greenshield

Godfry,

Simply remind her that the aventail you would like cost much less than your average pair of womens shoes....

....that always stops the arguments at my house.

Greenshield

Steve is nothing if not Top Knotch. I still sing his praises 4 years on and hope to be orderingone of those same coifs myself soon.

Greenshield

I've been fighting in my Knut aventail for going on 4 years now. I love it and would not fight in anything else. I keep meaning to purchase a shirt but we keep missing each other.

Some of their kit can be very detailed. Many focus heavily on the Slavic and Eastern Viking/Rus side and their can be alot of mix and match. However, their main focus is being the premier fighting organization in Europe. Now, oppinions may vary across European groups but from what I have seen they h...

Thanks Cat, but I do not want to blue the mail, I just want to keep it from instantly rusting after dipping

Hello all. I've been following the muractic acid thread here to de-zinc galvied mail. Here's the problem I'm having: Once I've dipped the mail in the muratic and then gone through the baking soda process no amount of oiling, drying etc has been able to keep the rust off. Patted, rolled compressed ai...

Sorry for the delay in reply guys. Been busy over here The PB is one of the 1st I've bought from Paul. Trust me when I say that everything said about Paul is accurate. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Waco at the Viking Fest this year and he is simply top knotch. I do not believe I will ever own...

I have a PB I'm willing to sell but it ain't cheap. There is no tea cosy and the pommel and cross guard are inlaid with copper. brass and silver. If you're interested I'll post a pic or you can ontact me off line.
