Jehan de Pelham

I prefer mail underneath the rerebrace, echoing Edward of Woodstock and Hugh Calverley's effigies.

Sir Vitus' weapons are almost enough to make me consider laying aside pursuing a career in jousting. Almost. Don't miss out.

They sell for $40 from Sir Johannes, these are new, $30 takes them.

These are unused, and sell from Windrose at $60. $50 each.

The post says three but the photo says four. They sell for $25 each from Windrose, and they are still in the packaging. I say $20 each.

PM me for PayPal information.

That's got the small size premium wheel pommel and regular size premium crossguard. There is a significant amount of work in this as well. One of these sold last year with sword, scabbard and belt for $300.

$175 takes it.

Yes, that explains the slight thickness to the cross section. These will last forever.

Jehan de Pelham

That is exactly correct. These are almost exactly the same as one that Sir Vitus made for me when I was active in the Midrealm, that sword rocked. These should prove very sturdy yet not overwhelming like some greatswords.

Still available. First person to send me $70 gets them. On the size--there is some flexibility there. They are about 11 inches from cuff to pit of the elbow, but they are generous and can be modified. They are made of HDPE. As you can see, there is some leather at the cuff that can also be modified ...

_Gideon was first on the draw. Sold.

I have a shield for sale. Unused, Partially complete Windrose Arms 7075 Premium Grade Shield with low-profile edging and aluminum basket. 21" across, 22" tall, with 3" of curve in the center--it's the smaller of the two in the photo. 5 lbs 5 oz. Strap it and it's ready to go. $140 shi...

A matched scabbard set from Sir Vitus, with belts. These are red and black. The sword scabbard is 30" deep, and the dagger scabbard is 13" deep. $100 shipped.

PM me if interested.

They are identical to the 6 footers, except shorter. I'll attach a photo of the 6 footers here for comparison--the 5 footers are in the box right next to the six footers.

This is a butted titanium aventail, made out of rings obtained from The Ring Lord of Canada. This served me exceedingly well in stead of one of Knuut's welded aventails. It will need minor repairs (about an hour with a pair of pliers). The aventail itself weighs just 2 lbs 10 oz. and I will send 4 o...

These are a pair of matched longswords. Overall length is just at 5', with a generous 12" of pommel to serve your needs. Blade length is about 4'. These swords have the top of the line Windrose large pommels and large crossguards, with the two-handed thrusting tips installed. These are still in...

Jehan de Pelham

SOLD. Haus Atzinger assembled these. They are unused. They feature the top of the line Windrose pommel (the large 2 1/2" model) and the large crossguard. They also have the Windrose two-handed thrusting tips installed. This is a great set for someone wanting a nice pair for formal deeds or a sp...

This is a slightly used AB Hammer Aluminum Sword Basket. Weighs 15 and 1/4oz. Windrose sells a similar aluminum basket hilt for $95 new. I'll let this one go for $40, shipping included. PM me if interested.

EDIT: And sold to Sir William. Going out tomorrow. Thanks for the interest everyone. If there is anyone who would like a pair of Sir Haroun bazubands, I have a pair, unused, that I can sell. I am not selling them because I am unhappy with them, I am selling them because I am re-directing into equest...

Use the sig line with pleasure!

I am riding in the photos in full greaves, yep.

I would say 30 Burgundian Double Mites and 35 Groats of Henry VI would be the best buy from what I offer.

Anyone who does anything complicated from horseback has my admiration. It is difficult.

John

Jehan de Pelham

The only one that I have is the Ducat of Charles IV. If I remember, you had asked me about silver coins--after I do the four dies that I have listed in the queue above, a Prague Grossen is in line.

Jehan de Pelham

Cool. Oh, by the way, the 14th Century Mafia secular badge is being redesigned in a second edition. More to follow on that, but I have none in stock right now.

If there are folks who want XLs, 2XLs, and 3XLs, let me know, and I'll put another order in if there's enough interest.

Banged out plenty of Edward I pennies, Richard II pennies, Richard II half groats, and groats of Edward III and Henry VI. I have about fifty of each ready for immediate delivery.

Joram, I remember meeting you at de Haar and wish we could have spent more time talking. When we break a lance on each other we can remember those days joyfully, for it was at that moment that this began, interrupted though it was by trading shafts with the Turk in Iraq. Leo (you know, I still don't...

Jehan de Pelham

Thanks a lot, Gwen! Things got hairy a couple of times, but you know, I sorta am in the business of handling hairy in my day job, so it will be allright. Consider me sold and I'll be down as often as you'll have me.

"Some days Pete is just a bundle of nerves and is more like riding a kangaroo than a horse. Those days see a lot of holding on...." Absolutely. I think a pogo stick with four hooves might also be a good descriptor. In some cases no amount of holding on will help. Some times, you don't have...

Edric, the quarter nobles will be priced the same way as the ducats. The dies need some revision, which I expect to be done within the next three weeks.

John

Jehan de Pelham

Dave,

Good observations and I felt the same, but I wasn't critical in that regard as they also constitute solid differences that clearly differentiate my replicas from the original product.

One of the dies that I have been working to get ready for production for some time has been for the Quarter Noble of Edward III. The gold coinages of Edward III have been a favorite of mine for some time. The quarter noble would have originally been minted in fine gold from maybe as far back as 1344...

I made my armor (excluding helmet) until I got to the point where I wanted better than I could make. Then I went to Brent Junkins (Sir Luther) first for a bascinet, then Jeff Hedgecock for the rest. I worked with John Gruber for gauntlets because I wanted to support and encourage a new armourer who ...

Audax, the plain facts of Joan of Arc's trial indicate that her acting as a man, in martial events, was at least one of the primary strategies used to justify putting her to death. The main issue was how inconvenient she was to those who put her to death, but page after page of the court record is d...

We hung ours at the Tournament of the Phoenix because we wanted to cook in it before we had a bed of coals made.

I have the trial of Joan de Arc. It is a thick and obscure read, though it is invaluable as a view of how women acting as men could be treated. The Maid was a woman and (when it was convenient for those prosecuting her) a warrior. She burned for it.
