Thank you Angus. Sir Mord, I believe. I mean, it reads to me. That you believe that I am proscribing something as a requirement, or that I am trying to force someone into some action. I am stunned by your interpretation of what I wrote and have had no success in finding anything of the like in it. J...

These earlier period coins sold so poorly that I was forced to conclude that there was no market for them, William. I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but it appeared so to me.

I wish I could come up wth something useful to say in response, but I have to get over the fact that you aren't even having a coherent discourse with me, and insulting me to boot. I'll sleep on this and get back to you, Sir Knight. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuyer and servant of Sir Vitus www.mron.org

The double mite is essentially a half penny, though it is the same size as a penny coin. They are what is termed 'money noir', as the silver content was so low, they quickly turned black. They were the small change of daily usage, the sort of coin you would give to a beggar, or get in change for buy...

Thanks. I think you have mistaken me for Sir Vitus--he does the leather sheaths.

These are pewter replicas of the groat coin of Edward III, King of England, who reigned from 1327 to 1377. This is a heavy and substantial coin, just over 1 inch wide side to side. Each replica coin represents 4 pennies sterling worth. 3 of these would have made up a day's pay for an esquire in mid-...

These are pewter replicas of the half groat coin of Richard II, King of England, who reigned from 1377 to 1399. I have struck out a very large quantity of these since my return because they are so damn pretty. Each replica coin represents two pennies sterling worth, and these have a nice heft to the...

These are pewter replicas of the penny coin of Richard II, King of England, who reigned from 1377 to 1399. 12 of these would have made up a day's pay for an esquire in late 14th century western Europe. They were in wide circulation in England and the English holdings in France, which were as yet und...

Half groats of Henry VI are SOLD OUT.

I have no immediate plans to re-introduce a half groat coin of Henry VI.

These are brass replicas of the ducat of Charles IV, King of the Romans, who reigned from 1346 to 1378, ending up becoming the Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 to 1378. This 21mm replica coin would have represented 20 silver pennies worth, a sizable sum and would be suitable for gentle portrayals based ...

These are brass replicas of the ducat of Jobst, Margrave of Moravia, who reigned from 1375 to 1411, ending up becoming the Elector of Brandenburg from 1397 to 1411 and briefly the King of the Romans from 1410 to 1411.

Now that I have gotten back home, I can take a little more control over my replica coin business. I have been offering a number of specials and such in order to keep it going while I have been overseas. This thread will be my official offerings and I will edit and update this thread as I get orders ...

Jehan de Pelham

Vladimir, ah, yes, okay. I misunderstood. What I think you mean to say is: In tournaments, I should wear the cap a pie outwardly because of the desire for spectacle. In war, I should wear whatever harness allows me to fight the most. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuyer and servant of Sir Vitus www.mron.org

Jehan de Pelham

Sir Mord, The peril of words lies in the fact that they are easy to misinterpret. I was long winded because the issue is complex, and because people tend to find offense. You use plastic because it is not possible for you to bear the harness that those whom you emulate wore. Society minimums dictate...

I had this same problem too. I think you'll find your stride, Joseph.

Thanks, Isabella, Owyn, and Baron Alejandro--I still worry a lot when I get long winded.

Let me expand my thought a little. There is no real argument against the concept that what is done on the field is a memory of deeds of arms and martial deeds done by our forebears. Those men at arms strove in vigor and main to slay one another and developed highly advanced defenses in response to t...

Everyone (except for a few selfish neurotics) would bear real harness onto the field if they could. They can't so they don't.

I have lost not a damn thing. The SCA has presented me with a way, a door through which who I am can walk and exist when it could not in the "everyday" world.

My wife supports me, and that means everything.

That's a nice looking rig, but I wonder if it's right.

If you have trouble screwing up the courage to shorten the aventail, just do it one row at a time. Time consuming, but safe.

"I disagree, Simply put we try for a Medieval presence on and off the field. Plastic is not Medieval. No malice in my words. It is about education. My old canton's seneschal told a new person that Blue jeans were period/Historic. Well I pooped a kitten on the inside I simply pointed out that w...
