You should buy my stock legs that are currently on ebay for $145. Go to the ebay link at my homepage: www.jamesriverarmoury.com I custom fit the cuisse to your size. Much better quality than Kingslance, Made in US by me. Eric What would you charge to make a set that looks like what he bought?

I don't think this is the second helmet I referred to in Calvert's Spanish A&A, but the border band does have what I can only refer to as 'Celtic' knotwork, it even has dots in the strips like you would find in illuminated examples. m The large rondel, and the other larger areas I would refer to as...

All depends on what you want Meaddrinker. Butted maille is not authentic, but making it yourself is most cost effective. You can buy even a flat maille shirt for $300 today but to get closer to real maille of the late middle ages you will spend closer to $850. Of coarse you can order a perfect hand...

My house is not quiet, I am not loud; But for us God fashioned our fate together.
I am the swifter, at times the stronger, My house more enduring, longer to last.
A times I rest; my dwelling still runs; Within it I lodge as long as I live.
Should we two be severed, my death is sure.
