Whups. Missed the $60 bid on the greaves. $63.00 and gladly knowing some of it goes back to the maker. Merc tailor is sorely missed.

If they are already sold I don't want to get in the middle of it - but if they don't want them let me know.

Sorry that sales didn't go well for you - it's been that sort of year - for the last 4 years

PM sent on the gorget if you want to sell it instead of keeping.

Thanks

Thanks

Clearing out some stuff to buy some more stuff Have a set of Talon Armory mild steel gauntlets, you can't buy these anymore as Reed is only working in stainless and spring stainless. Also have a very light weight gambeson which is really more of a costume piece - would be OK for LARP or boffer, but ...

OK, now you've piqued my curiosity... What are you gonna do with them? (I have a run of Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld I'd GIVE you just for shipping if you are doing something interesting with them)

I can speak from personal experience it has great therapy value to simply take it to the farm/range and use it as a handgun target. Watching those keys go flying and the screen shatter just really helps get out those repressed feelings from all the times you have wanted to throw your computer out th...

Gotta say go with Sir Andy Wards Gauntlets - great price, perfect for SCA (he has been building the things for 20+ years and refining and updating the whole time) and he will usually get them to you faster than most folks bother to respond to your email with a quote. He is an institution in Calontir...

brucer

I would suggest posting a few samples of finished work to the AA for feedback. And since you are in Calontir, you could test your "Build a Belt" concept at Kris Kinder in December in Forgotten Sea and she how it flies.

Just my .02

Andy Ward does really nice, highly protective and relatively inexpensive gauntlets ($120 plus shipping) that are bomb proof.

Here is the link: http://wardmetal.com/armor.html

brucer

those are what i have. i guess i'm just being armor-inept then. i'm thinking of trading them for a paintball gun though.... damnit: too many hobbies, not enough money... where are rich horny widows when you need them? Andy's gauntlets fit pretty much anyone - sounds like a strapping issue -I would ...

brucer

For the price you really can't do any better than Andy Ward - they are damn near perfect for SCA and the design has been developed and refined over 20+ years.

Here is his website: http://wardmetal.com/armor.html

Can't go wrong with James River Armoury - He has a set of legs on e(vil)Bay right now for $105 and buy it now for $120. He is here here on the Archive, I bet you could buy directly from him so he can save having to pay ebay their pound of flesh... Here's the link: m] http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Armor-SCA...

A picture would probably help stimulate interest. Just sayin...
