Thanks, Bob! I knew you'd appreciate it. Just so everyone knows, I have 185 of each of the ducat replicas--Charles IV and Jobst--in stock and ready to ship. I have ample stock of blanks for half groats and groats, and I have about 800 penny blanks on hand to strike Edward I pennies, Richard II penni...

Put in a request for quote for dies cut for the following coins: 1. Edward the Black Prince Half Groat. This replaces the Long Cross Penny of Henry III, of which Derian le Breton up in the Pacific Northwest makes a good replica. 2. Blanc au K of Charles V the Wise. From WikiPedia: "Charles V (2...

Thanks, Gordon! I haven't forgotten that you do horse stuff here in Northern California. What's going on in your neck of the woods these days?

I was impressed with how my wife got those T-shirts in that box.

Glad you like them!

John

Yeah, the adductors are what you need strength in. Thankfully the Army forces me to retain good core strength.

This shit is hilarious!

The lesson went well. I was regrooved by a nice young man who I am sure I could be his father. Age is no arbiter of knowledge; if I am right, he grew up around horses and he made the experience comfortable rather than awkward. I knew the kid was good when he said "You know, some people, they do...

As many of you are aware, I have a business making and selling replica coins. I need a reliable provider of jobbing services, to turn lead free pewter sheet and dead soft brass into blanks for striking coin from. If you have the capability, please contact me either via PM or email. I am drawing nigh...

I put together a large order of the Metz Double Deniers for a gentleman, and took the opportunity to take a photograph.

These go for $1 each, 55 for $50.

Start tomorrow at 4:00 in the afternoon. It makes no sense not to know how to ride well (I can sit a horse just fine, and even go to canter and back though it's been ten years) and be into portraying an armored man at arms.

Who knows where it might lead.

Leathern articles are highly durable.

I have traded replica coins for stuff in the past.

Jeff: "What I want to know is: Why a 14th C knight is wearing a purse, and a 15th century one, at that?" Bait. I wanted to find someone who knew what they were talking about. Then I could have strongarmed them into the group. I got the aventail from someone who sold a set of Forth Armoury ...

My question regards where glass sits in the hierarchy of status.

Michael, did you ever get that Tippman Boss that you would have liked?

John

Jehan de Pelham

See, I'm not the only one! Thank God.

John

Jehan de Pelham

Nice details. I ought to get a bunch of leather coffers and cases for my armor. That would be pretty sweet.

John

Jehan de Pelham

Oh, you're on!

Jehan de Pelham

Very interesting. I have to think this through and continue to seek information and advice. One of the hopes I had was to add three or four pounds of weight in plate and lose ten in mail while still remaining correct. As far as the off topic is concerned, that's highly welcome. I am very interested ...

No, unfortunately. It's been tough finding an engraver with the skills to do the Arabic.

Okay, after wearing a haubergeon for my standard six hours or so a couple of days last weekend, and offering a presentation on it, I have a question. My currrent harness is to the best of my knowledge a circa 1380 to 1390 Italian harness, based off a variety of pieces from Schloss Churburg. However,...

Jehan de Pelham

You need cash or would you like replica coin?

John

Jehan de Pelham

Are you? Crap, I am so embarrassed! You just have such a solid build that your width makes you look squat. That's it. By the by, I sent you an email, have you got it? Gwen, at least four of the kids at the kids fighting got a chance to have fun beating on me a while. I walked in there, dropped my vi...

Jehan de Pelham

I have 4 mediums.

Randy, I have the stuff that you're asking about. How's $40 for that?

If that boy ever doubts his daddy loved him, then Jesus, what an ingrate.

Great job, man. Truly a boy's dream.

Hey, I still have these T-Shirts. What do I have to do, send out the boys?

I have updated the prices and everything is in stock for immediate delivery. Metal prices are UP. Sorry, but to keep doing this I have to adjust with the times or make it a losing proposition. I will be doing the coin business mainly from here as the website is out of date and the maintaining of it ...

Jehan de Pelham

I sent an inquiry today. If I don't get a respone within a week, I might ask to prevail on someone's connections, as I have a kitchen to equip better.

John

Jehan de Pelham

I'm sorry you were worried when it happened, Gwen. I saw the whole thing, too, and noticed Jeff working to try and correct the situation, so I figured he was just off-balance and letting Leo run it out.

John

Jehan de Pelham

I'd like to get on board for one or two of these as well. We need something like this.

John

Jehan de Pelham

I haven't lost my cool. I just expressed my opinion in a spicy manner.
