Unfortunately, only Randy and Lory from St. Martins and David Peck from Chicago Sword Guild showed up. They all got a chance to have some 1-on-1 time with Brian and everyone seemed to have a great time at it using all of the weapons that we study. Hopefully, we can get more interest in an October to...

The skull part of the helm looks nice, I like the overlap in the back (not period, I know, but a good look).

Now the visor, its........interesting....

Brian and Ann were here over the weekend at our faire for what was supposed to be a WMA tourney, but with no fighters showing up, became a clinic (and a damn good one too!).

Try them again, I am sure that they are home now.

The are copies of the Milanese pauldrons in the Glasgow Musuem and look a lot like the pauldrons on these pages: m Which is the closest pictures that I have found to them. My pauldrons even have the removable exchange pieces. Now, they were very expensive - $120 + $50 shipping. There are so many goo...

I ordered a custom Gothic Breast and Backplate (14ga for jousting) from GK Armoury, letting Jeff know that I needed it quickly. Well, less than two weeks after I ordered this: m It arrived! It was perfectly fitted, articulated, and not only looks great but is super solid and will make a great joust ...

I received the pauldrons and gauntlets yesterday - and I can't find the words to describe how unbelievably beau...

I wanted to let everyone that may be considering buying from Talbot's Fine Accessories know that they definitely can with confidence. My initial order was "diverted" to that place where the USPS loses mail. Doug, as soon as he became aware of this, sent me full replacement order which arrived in jus...

Hey Teach,

Here is a link to some great pavilions being sold by Revival. They are super easy to transport and put up (2 people less than 20 minutes) and the cost is great for a pavilion this size.

Have a great day,

Lloyd

Thanks as well. My Black Clyde has been getting too much sun lately, now I just have to make sure that only he eats it...what would it do to a Belgian's coat

In the last picture i notice that there is not a rest on this armour, is this required by modern jousting rules? (to avoit a too brutal thrust) or is just me that don't see it? That depends on the organization, but normally it is up to the individual to make the call to use one or not. I am present...

Lloyd

Uhh, actually, no I don't - not anymore! I have been working hard to upgrade my kit to meet with IJA and EJL standards (okay, it helped tha...

Bascot, Actually, we didn't get her. There was another woman there before we could come down and then the weather prevented us from going. We were told that she wanted the horse and at first we decided to take her, but then, as long as we knew she was going to a good home and not to auction, we let ...

Lloyd
