Thanks Gio,

I'll go with the 18.

...though musket dents do sound sexy.

Rapier helms should look like this:

Sexah!

I was concerned about the calibration thing, but several friends (primary rapier fighters) said they did not think it would be an issue.

Partly why I'm also thinking light gauge metal.

D. Sebastian

I'm wondering if anyone ever made a Peascod for rapier?
Pics?

I have the burgonet and I'm thinking a breastplate would be cool.

I'm thinking 20 guage?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

D. Sebastian

Please feel free to retake pics and send them to me for the site.

I WAAAAYYYY particular about what goes up.

please include era and location of persona.

Sab - you have a bargrill.
Same exception we make for the gauntlets.
A needed evil.

Kudos to those who go the extra mile to make them less noticeable.

Winner was Damon Von Drachenklaue.
Fighters Choice was Baron Vladimir

Meelee was won by the 10th Century.

Thank-you for the enjoyable tourney. It was my first time and a lot of fun. Thanks also for posting the pictures to Flicker. Have you considered putting at least one picture of each fighter on the main web site? This way people can see what the standard is for the tourney. Some of the pics have bad...

Sold it off months later.

They do tend to be "one sizes fits small".
I have almost no padding in mine and it is snug!

I got mine from Karl Von Sussen for ~$80.

It was a serious project and required major modifactions to convert, but I'm happy with the results.

Syr Corby,

Your feathered helmet topper was very cool.
It made finding you in the scrum an easy task.

You're leaving out the archery shoots and rapier folks love a woods battle too. Archery Sun AM and all day through Wed. Have a Rapier woods battle, just not a war point. The idea is to have the Formal War Sun-Wed, then the rest of the week for Friendship/theme fighting. This does several things: - ...

D. Sebastian

Then may God speed you to the throne good Syr!

Anyone see any problems with the plan?

D. Sebastian

Here's an idea for a Pennsic paradigm shift. There's a lot of politics and other issues that effect the Pennsic war. My betters mentioned this... Sunday Noon: - Opening Ceremonies with Heroic Champions (war point) and unbelts (warpoint) - Afternoon field battle (warpoint) - Evening rapier battle (wa...

Under the tape we're all on the same side.

I'm trying to find a pic of me and VDK fighting for the dragon.

In action!

Now I just need a peascod breast-plate and crazy codpiece!

Good and reknown Leo Medii, We must agree that we do not agree. Though it may be a "style" of tourney, it is not the definition that we as a Society know of and equate to the word. To the populous at large, a "tourney" is a martial test with an ultimate victor. Quantifable as suc...

We are glad you all like it as much as we do!

D. Sebastian

You honor me greatly sir!
The pleasure was mine.

D. Sebastian

You'll need to see the Duke.
We are in agreement.

If you're that close by, I expect to see you at next years Yooka party, Your Excellency!

I finally got to meet and shake Ursus' hand.
That was a good night.

Skorri.
GREAT shots.
Thank you for your art!

Now I can show my mom.

This was a good and glorious time. I was honored to attend and meet so many fine Champions. Thank you Your Excellency, and all the Baron/Baroness who attended. My Baron enjoyed it and intends to return next year. Our only critique: change the name and not call it a tourney. It is more of a showcase,...

(Smooches @ Tasha) WoH was a great time! Axes of the Ages saw some fantastic fights and talented axe work. The level of peoples kit is getting true;y exceptional! (I hope to post pics soon). Next year we're thinking either Hammers/Mauls/Maces or Pointy sticks under 7' with sidearms under 1'. We'll ...
