SL ARMOURS

It is their "pattern pages" page after page of armour - all in one spot!!!

Lloyd

Later period tilt armour often had a "wrapper" that covered the neck and part of the helm http://www.armourarchive.org/armour_dukes_burgundy/b10.jpg A lot of jousters today, myself included, use a grande gard which is basically a bevor that is bolted onto our breastplate to prevent the lan...

Thanks Lloyd! I spoke with him and he is really cool. His delivery dates are amazing as well. Also, your greaves are packed for shipment Rowan Allan at Mercenary Tailor has them at a very good price. www.merctailor.com Tell him that Lloyd sent you (it won't get you a discount though...) Excellent. ...

Okay, they are Period Patterns and I believe that #23 is what you are looking for:

The ones of the cover are from Revival Clothing (Christian is a partner in their business, I believe).

There are some period patterns floating around (not Simplicity) I think that you might find them on the Smoke and Fire website.

Allan at Mercenary Tailor has them at a very good price.

Trystan, just tell Roy that it is your new "French" shield Do give me a yell if you need any help on strapping, I have a picture that Rod sent me when I first got mine a couple of years back, if Jeremy doesn't have a good one. Jeremy, I am helping Cassandra Adams at the Midwest Horse Show ...

I have used a couple of Albion "bastard" (Oakshotte type Type XIIIa) swords from horseback, the Duke and Steward. The Duke is a sweet cutter from horseback, but you had better be plenty strong if you are going to be engaged in a prolonged "battle" as the balance sits well for two...

Lloyd

Mercenary Tailor has a number of choices - www.merctailor.com

Lloyd

Excellent. I'll look forward to his review.

Lloyd

I have the same question as Trystan. Are these made for SCA jousting or Heavy Armour Jousting? What are they made of? What is the thickness? I have used quite a few different types of ecranche shields over the years and have had far too many break apart during their first joust (some, on the first p...

I was looking for one last fall for a school presentation that I was doing. I contact MRL (which I have a very good relationship with) and was told that the original artist had stopped making them back in the late 80s and has refused to make them since. Since it is a copy of an actual historical ite...

Hey Peter, I gotta get me a pair of those New Balance riding boots I am with Jeremy on the Macs, I actually think that those of us that easily top 230 or more pounds have a hard time finding anything comfortable about a mac. As for riding, I prefer an English (and I have jousted in them for quite a ...

Lloyd

Without giving your brother a chance to buy it first?!! Of course, it wouldn't fit me anyway

(you and your da** little head!)

(Like I have money...)

One of Luke's helms (and probably a Romano-British spatha) are on my list of things to buy in the future.

Lloyd

BIG BUMP!

Lloyd

Both Spathas and shields are sold pending payment.

The white viking pavilion (just like the black/yellow one in the picture) is still available and figure $30 for shipping.

Lloyd

I emailed the seller asking who excavated the pieces and where - he answered back the he bought them from a Polish dealer in Stuttgart earlier this year and the man claimed that he was the one the excavated them.

The pieces, for the most part, look way too pristine to be originals, in my opinion.

Lloyd

Finally back on computer (well at least for a little bit). The Albion Steward and the Arms and Armor swords are Pending. I apologize again for the delay, but have been unable to get pics of the armour. As for tentage: Midwest Tents Viking Wedge Tent - Red/Yellow - only used twice - asking $230 + act...

Hi All, At the suggestion of our nonprofit advisor, we will be dissolving the Historic Camelot Project at the first of the year and starting a new nonprofit - The Foxton Medieval Heritage Project - in the coming months. In order to retire the debt that our 4 fundraising fayres has brought to Camelot...

Lloyd

I have had two of Beathan's helms and a number of other armour pieces that I use for full impact jousting. I have had nothing but excellent service, communication, and the armour pieces themselves ALWAYS exceeded my expectations.

I can give Beathan's work a glowing recommendation.

Lloyd

Victorian Antiques

I would be REAL interested in hearing what Doug Strong's take on these are. They look to me to be repros (especially the viking medieval sword - which REALLY looks wrong to me), though very nice reproductions...

Anyone bought from this seller?

Lloyd

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/ratangei/me1984.jpg[/img] I had the EXACT same helm as Aeleric - Emerald Ferret dome with the thick bracing straps (even painted mine black). I got mine from Duffin Blindeagle back in 82, didn't know that they were mass produced. I don't think I have any pi...

Lloyd

Joe, you are a glutton for punishment!

The rivetted maille looks spectacular - can't wait to see the finished product.

Lloyd

David, that is the tough part - I have tons of pics of me jousting and many at the point of impact, however, due to the relative speed of the horses ever single one of them is blurred to some extent. Let me see what I can come up with - probably won't be until we get back from the Holidays though. h...
