Yes, that was Master Cad.

Morgan

IIRC...the center round was probably the most common shield throughout history. It's documentable in the most time periods, the most cultures and so on...again ONLY IIRC.

Morgan

Yeah, I plan on garb shopping almost immediately at Pennsic.

FISH BAT!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a video out on an FTP server right now. m There are two videos there. They are the same video, one is just larger and therefore better quality. They are video of an event in Northshield princepality a few weeks back. The event is called Warriors and Warlords. The rest of the folders there are...

Morgan

Did you want visored helms because you think the visor is cool or because you've made some other determinations about a time period?

Morgan

Well, thank you, your excellency. I'm a fan of yours as well, but for entirely different reasons.

Morgan

I know you said they can email you for size info. I'd recommend just putting the size info on the auction. I believe you can ammend the auction. Maybe not after a bid has been placed...but it wouldn't hurt to try. A LOT of bidders don't want to email the seller. They're afraid of getting on spam lis...

Ask Le Brassy!

Morgan

It was actually my guess that you had several size large breast plates in stock so you were having a sale. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Morgan Buchanan http://www.geocities.com/morgunnmac

Even tho I'll be at Pennsic, I'd bring it to Estrella to get it signed. MUCH less chance of it getting wet!

Morgan

Well, Tybolt, they make you use armour for two reason. 1) Even tho they're boffers, they're not exactly pool noodles. I could jack someone pretty good with a boffer, were I to choose to do so. But then, I'm a 250 pound adult. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif 2) LOOKS MAN!!!! Sheesh! We're ...

High carbon, low carbon...what's the difference? http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif JUST KIDDING! Frankly, to be honost, I saw the "buy it now" price and saw "carbon" and assumed it was high. I think 255 as a price on a greathelm is pretty high. I am REALLY interested in knowing what the res...

Morgan

How fast is the decline between the 4th year and the 10th?

I'd pick two, most likely. I'm 32, btw, and have been fighting in the SCA for 2 1/2 years and did japanese martial arts for the 15 years before that.

Morgan

It'll be interesting to see what the reserve price is. I bid on it too...and didn't hit the reserve either. It's high carbon, so it wouldn't suprise me if the reserve is 150 to maybe as much as 225, given his "buy it now" price was 255.

Morgan

Yeah, lemme know when you get a new pic done. Thanks!

Morgan

There are deffinately bad rhinos that are female. I've never injured one. I just do the best I can to get them to take what I can dish out, which isn't really all that much, and if they end up hitting me before they take whatever I give them, I just leave the field with my honor in tact. I can't rea...

Morgan

I don't know if I'd call it a mini-tourney today...maybe they're planning something I hadn't heard about. I know it's a joint practice between Elfsea and Steppes and a central region (Ansteorra) war practice afterwards. However to answer your question: Once you go into the park from Randol Mill Blvd...

Morgan

I'm interested in one or two...but I'd like to see a picture first. Got one? Feel free to post it or email it to: morganbuchanan@hotmail.com Thanks in advance. ------------------ "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Morgan Buchanan http://www.geocities.com/m...

Morgan

I guess I don't see why anyone would want to use this in melee, because it could get caught on someone and the smaller person could get hurt. But in singles tourney...go for it. I can't see how it'd be dangerous. The eye slot argument is specious at best. I'll let you try all day long to stab me in ...

Yeah, basically what Gundo said. The subject of this armoury comes up about every other month around here and I've NEVER seen a negative comment about him.

Morgan

Dan said: This is a good example of what you can get away with varying depending on where your oponent's hand is. No rap is going to come from that hand position, so the sword leg forward stance has substantially less risk than it would have if the lefties hand were on the other side and in a more t...

Morgan

WOW! That's kinda cool, Russ. I'll have to find out more about that. For me, I put in a single layer of closed cell in my close helm, then my arming cap. I've been hit UNGODLY hard in the head and it didn't even phase me. But an arming cap made of that material might be kind keen. http://www.armoura...

Morgan

Looks a lot like a shield to me. Really hard to get to pass as a list legal helm.

Morgan

Must agree with JP on the RLF vs LLF in fighting....even lefties. Look at this site: http://www.clannross.org/ The bottom picture shows the finals of Ansteorra's last crown tourney. Notice the fighter with his back to you...that's our prince, Duncan. (If you read this after Saturday afternoon, that'...

Morgan

I do want to point out that if I were to use sheepskin, I'd STILL want a thin layer of closed cell foam to absolutely insure that the padding wouldn't bottom out. But that's just me.

Morgan

Sorry, Owen, I'd have to disagree. Your point about the motorcycle helmet is perfectly accurate. Well, maybe not totally disagree, but I think you downplay the importance of the weight of the helm. I think the helm weight is more important than the padding. I think you think the opposite. http://www...

Morgan

Padding is to keep your helmet from hitting your head, NOT to keep your brain from sloshing around. That's the job of the mass of the helmet. I'd be a LITTLE concerned with sheepskin if it was less than a layer. A single layer of sheep would easily bottom out and be a fairly hard surface. With my cl...

Morgan

That thing looks like something out of Army of Darkness.

Morgan

I'd say. I got my copy off of the Northshield list. Pretty terrific, V.

Hey Ulrick, you old dog! How's it going? What part of this is "coming to my senses"?

Looking good!

Bob: I know you had supplied a link in the previous post. Just checking in case they had moved and maybe you hadn't thougth of it. Best of luck finding what you're looking for.
