Unfortunetly I allready have a really beautiful roundel. The Baselard I am looking for is for hunting and based on one in a hunting book.

I dont even know if I will be back in country by then or I would put this together. I am hoping to be able to attend, and if so would definatly like to camp in this encampment.

Hello, any bladesmiths willing to make a baselard? I am looking for a 14th century I handled style baselard with wood scale grips, and a 18 inch double edged dimond cross sectioned blade. The dagger would have to be sturdy and cappable of taking a sharp edge.

How easily does the hair pull out? I would also like dibs on this please.

I do something simular with my armour. I put the arms in the greaves, the greaves in the legs, the legs in the PB shoes fit on the bottom of the legs and my gauntlets ride above them. Helmet rides seperatly. All the little extras just get packed in the extra space.

So what we can do is have a 14th century encampment that everyone should endevour to put fourth there best 14th century impression. Make sure that everyone understands that we are going to try to make this grow into a true Living history camp. Manditory items to camp for the first year would include...

Edward MacTavish

I believe that with the 14th century group this endevour would not be too hard. If everyone pitched in like Cian stated and sponcered one piece of camp stuff then it would go over rather easy. For the most part a lot of us allready have the makings for a period encampment we just do so with our home...

How much would you give for a set?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Sounds like you two Gentlemen will just have to fight it out.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

You could buy it and then you would not need a picture,

Edward MacTavish

I have been using hemp laces for years. Double tie em and they will not come un done. I also wash them with the cote. It helps make them softer and hold a knot better.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

If you guys commision him, then he will not have time for all the little prodjects I have for him.

Quit yer droolen on my stirups. They will rust.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Is the coranze the one in the pictures? I own one thats a little small for me and I might like to Gift that one and replace it.

I have an alluminum boss on my centergrip. It was made bt Strawberry Fields armoury. T6 AL that has been welded and shaped quite nicely.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Good, because I was very tempted.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I would do everything in my power to be there for this. I have always thought the mafia should. If the silly vikings can do it then it should be cake walk for us.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I do the same thing. I try to match the weapons to the suit of armour I am wearing. It was once comented that a sword I was using was too blade heavy and I was not fighting as well as my oppont had been lead to believe. These statements botherd me. Normaly I fight in a high end 14th century rig with...

Edward MacTavish

The Golden Rope event would still be cool. I wanted to join in the first go around,

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Good Sir,

I was wondering how the fancy Pas Baselard and scabbard were comming?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I bet you would have a fast, hard hitting suprise if you said that to any of these fine Lady in person.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I own a Jeff Suit and am having it upgraded to a fancier fuller rig. He is my armourer of choice.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I too have thought an event like that would be very cool. It would be very important that everyone understood what was going on though. So when are we doing it?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I will do the counters for ten, where would you like shipping sent?

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Its just my oppinion and I know I am part of the issue as I own one, but it seems that there are way too many clap visors. It looks like a German behord more than English and French. The hearldry looks great but has anyone ever considered having the little St George cross or the French version wipst...

Edward MacTavish

AArrgggg, My hammer should have been there. Dam wars, allways getting in the way of war.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

I would like the

100 years war,
Poitiers and crecy

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Historic Enterprises, one stop and you have a good kit.

Edward

Edward MacTavish

Well thats good news,

Edward

I think that these clips show why I believe that all fighting in the SCA is tourney style fighting.

Cool video.

If you want some really good looking gauntlets, get yourself a real pair of gloves to sew in and attatch the padding under the fingers and hands. The streat hocky gloves are going to stand out quite a bit. My gauntlets are attatched only at the fingers. I have seen a set sewn the entire way down but...

Edward MacTavish

Not to rub it in at all, but Jeff Wasson is currently working on my dream harness. Blackened spring steel with lots of brass. Later 14th century transitional suit. All the rivited chain mail and cloth bits to go. Total price 18K and a work over two deployments.
