I have an collection of Sir Vitus shield blanks that are needing to be put on someone's arms. I have I think five of the larger ones which are exactly the size of the Black Prince effigy shield, and two of the smaller heaters. Photos to come soon. $120 each, shipping included. It would be awesome if...

My wife advises me not to sell this helmet. I'd be stupid to go agin' her. Let's just call it an offer I couldn't refuse by a member of the 14th Century Mafia.

I didn't make that very clear did I? Sorry.

I am looking for good running examples with at least decent interiors, but the main consideration is the body.

So, a boneyard may not be useful right at this point but it's always useful knowing where the bones are.

I was just corresponding with Alan about this very thing. I have succumbed to real life. My wife is a little tired. I have a big move coming up right at the time that CiT would be, my block leave is too early in the year (March-April) and I will be in command still until May. I have agreed with my w...

I am looking for a Chevy Nova. I have some specifications I'm looking for: 1. It has to be a "Disco Nova," that is, a fourth generation model, from the year 1975 or 1976. There were stylistic changes beginning in 1977 that aren't the same. 2. It has to have the small-block 350 (5.7 litre) ...

I have survived four concussions. I like to think that I'm fine, and in fact I am doing better than many uninjured people, but I know there's some compromise up top. Occasionally I wonder what I might be like without the concussions. Maybe a little more able to focus. Who knows? A slip and fall on t...

If one has no proof, then one has to start eliminating the impossible. It's not by the grace of God. "What holds up your dagger?" "Virtue." No, probably not virtue either. There could be a slit in the fabric through which the leather upon which the scabbard depends can pass. The ...

Char is the secret ingredient. Whether charred wood or charcloth, char will hold a spark long enough to allow tinder to be brought to bear.

I did a teeny, teeny bit of German longsword in harness at the first CiT. Raimond and I took instruction in some of the more fundamental moves and positions, agreed to limit ourselves to the learned material, and then went at it three-quarters speed. Crude, but enough to tell me that this would be v...

Look, I don't care what the goobers out there think. I come here because there's smart people. Plus, if I ask a question about textiles or fashion, I have a really good chance of a HAWT medieval baebe answering. That has become more important to me as I grow older.

Your Highness, I have attached a photograph of the dirhem that I am considering. It is a dirhem from the rule of abd al-Rachman II, from the mid-9th century in al-Andalus. As a rule, I find dirhems to be aesthetically unpleasing--the Islamic proscription against images makes them text-heavy. But the...

My research is shaky, but after some reading I am of the opinion that the metal was shot cast into lumps (within a couple of grains' weight for the larger coins), and then these lumps were beaten into flans, which were then regularized and then struck. People got good at it, good enough to make it c...
