One of the nicer uses of a spun helmet I have seen. $100 Pair of stainless steel arm cannons with brass trim. Very nice articulation. $200 A pair of James R...

Irish,

You can have living history in the SCA. I have always taken the "Living history" to mean a certain standard or resurch and kit development.

So, my basinet is no longer going to be a one of a kind.

I had to leave town for a couple days. I have the pictures taken and will have them posted as soon as I return. It should be no later than Friday. I appologise once again for the delay.

Working on getting the pictures up. Hopefully today. Will try to answer questions asked. Just as a note at the bottom of the message I asked for PMs to call dibs. This was to help me keep things straight. So Dibs called there take priority over ones called on the list. Trying to keep this as fair as...

Edward MacTavish

Heres an update of what is still open. If you have called dibs on something and no longer would like it please relenquish dibs so that others can purchase. One very small 23" inside circumference Corinthian. Mild steel made by James river armory. Needs the nasal reinforcement repaired. $100 Bre...

I will give 10 on the ivory.

Edward MacTavish

Very cool, keep it up.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I would like second dibs please,

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Yes, like the one you pictured a while back. It all depends on price though. I am back from deployment and all the extra funds will be drying up soon.

Ceddie,

Thank you,
When I was in Germany I believe that my Fiancee and I ran into someone who knows you from down in Flordia. I cant remember there name but Stephanie has it written down somewhere.

Some people point the elbows onto the vambraces others use two leather straps. I tend to like the leather straps myself. The legs would be rivited directly to the articulated knees. Getting the patterns right depends on who is going to wear them. Leave out the blue padding. Just go with leather with...

As far as I know right now there will be two corinthian helms, one small the other larger, a pair of bazubands, an alluminum kite shield, a set of plastic with steel arms and legs. There will most likely be more but until I get home in a day or two then I will not know what else. I hate selling armo...

Edward MacTavish

I thank you for making cool 14th century stuff. Ever thought about making backgammon boards to sell?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Well I think Shamrock armoury is cool and that they will work through their issues. One of the first things a good business man does is know when to stop taking orders if there is a backlog. Last week I contacted Jackie about a helm I was thinking of. He answered my questions but made it clear that ...

Edward MacTavish

Just a heads up for everyone. When I get back home next week I will be putting some items of armour up for sale. I think I need to cull the herd a bit. There will be a couple $100 dollar helms in the mix.

Edward

Are you looking for Heavy or light gear? The Iraq boxes are filled with heavy equipment.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

That sucks. I allways wanted to order a suit from you. Good luck and enjoy retirement.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Sure was, just sent it off to Germany since no one wanted it. If you contact Faolan An Doire he should be willing to send you the boxes when he recieves them.

With me Hal's reputation is golden. I must appologise to him about how long this has gone on. I first started thinking about using this helm for fighting in while deployed and well then it turned into this. This set here will finish off my 1340's kit quite well. I will do up the padding if thats all...

Edward MacTavish

Hal,

You are right. That helm is not a wombat. None of your work will ever compare to wombats. Your work is far too superior to be even close to his junk.

If I had a the money you would never have kept that helmet as long as you have.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Is Armadillo armoury still in business? I believe they made some as well.

Edward

Yaaaaa, I'm a "Starving Serf"!!!!

My hammer will stand allied with the French if Uncle Sam allows.

put the mail on a leather belt and point it to the coat. For a correct look you could put it under the arming coat/jupon so that it looked like you were wearing the chain coat underneath. But as it is the others are right, a skirt in that form is from a diferent time frame than the rest of your kit....

Edward MacTavish

I really wish I would have know about this when the ordering was still going on. I would have loved to pick up a pair.

Edward

Some of us are full time soldiers.

Are there any good picture references to armour from this area?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I think it would be very uncomfterable and somewhat redundent.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

If you can then cool. I am here another week or so but could probally pass em to Sir Verbrand for a little bit longer. Please let me know. first person with an APO who wants em gets them as I need to send them.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

So I have been wondering since no one has replied to me as willing to take them. What do I do with them if no one wants them?

Edward

Items with no dibs so far

Armour for sale, still lots of it left.

Going to be selling off some armour
