Nowadays, at least over here in Euroland, it's easier to just say the MM or decimal inch measurement rather than gauge. the gauges and actual thicknesses vary somewhat.

Venetian Sallet *pics*

This is the helmet Ralph Snel is building for me to use with my LH kit when all that is completed. It is based off of a group of hjelmets that fall under the name of Celeta alle veneziana.

The clarke staight shear doens't do radii whatsoever. you just need to chop corners off and round it with a file/grinder. They are very well built for the price and cut barstock up to 8mm i think.

We have one at work and it cuts 3mm bartsock too, which isn't too shabby for a £70 hand shear. www.machinemart.co.uk has them, decent price too.
