Your Grace,

No idea, but I'm leaning toward modern depiction based on the style.
BTW, the Russian translates "Armour 13-14 Cent".

It's typical "Russian Icon" armour. So, to answer your question: yes and no, but mostly yes depending on WHAT period you're looking for. The shield, helm, and use of lamellar are all documentable. The Ptruges ("feathers") on the upper arms and lower torso point to a heavy byzanti...

I've made a few in the past, but I only have the old surplus wool army blankets to work with. Master Magnus noted that they are more likelly made from "fetal wool". http://mattyds.com/graphics/roman-soft-kit.jpg [img]http://warriorsofhistory.com/research/Byzantine/Constantine%201%20318-319...

I see what we do as an a-historical game of armoured sparing. If the rules called for taking legs as kills, I'd do that (and would win a lot more fights as the #2 shot I land is a leg). They call for loosing the limb struck, so that's how I play. The problem with changing anything is the "law o...

It was when Pennsic was all East Vs Mid.
This year (and hopefully from now on) it will be a 2 parter.

I. East V Mid
II East+Mid V Known World.

What should the 2 wars at Pennsic be called?

So, with the announcement by the Great Princes of the East and Mid that Pennsic is going to be a two parter (East vs. Mid and then East + Mid) I was thinking is would be cool to name each part. That way, when we're telling our "no-sh!t stories in September, we'll know exactly what part we're ta...

Sebastian, what period did the shotel come into use?


Don't know, but the depictions I've see of it was with guys who also had rifles.

It's not an unheard of shape though, from the ancient falcata to the the modern kukri. If you find something depicted in period, let us know for sure.
