Your grandmother was born in the 10th century?

Sean,

I just saw some on Ebay and some Tandy Leather Shops have some in stock.

I mentioned a few weeks back that I was planning on thinning the herd on some of my impressions that are sitting in the closet. Its time to let go of some stuff and pass it to someone who can make use of it. This will be the first to hit the block in the next few weeks. This is my Celt/Roman auxilia...

What size and how much shipped to the US in the condition it is in?

Primvs Pavlvs

Those look great Bob! I love how you can see the progression of the seasons with your project progression.

I am currently working on a project that includes stainless steel (unknown series) and I would like to blacken or oxidize the material. Any suggestions? Will stainless forge blacken?

I concur!

This was my first cloak for Roman reenacting. Two blankets worth of properly dyed wool (dirty yellow) were used in making this replica. The bottom edges are a little tattered from use, but only add to the realism for recreating a Roman soldier on campaign. Otherwise, this is a very good cloak for so...

I made this for my late Roman/Germanic kit a couple of years ago. The tunic has been worn a few times, but the trousers never have been worn. I based both pieces of clothing from Thorsberg Moor. This set of clothing has been dated to early as the 4th century. I modified the pattern some by not split...

Bob,

Thanks for the input, but I have to have them.....ask your lovely wife, or JamesB. I cannot divulge my plan just yet to the public.

I am trying to do some research on this style of boot. I do know that they were very fashionable in the first half of the 17th century. What is the earliest they start appearing in artwork?

Primvs Pavlvs

Thanks Dan!

I am targeting the 1590s to 1620's, possibly as late as 1640's, but thats still up in the air.

Thanks Karen and Chef! This is a good staring point for my new kit!

I am looking for information regarding clothing for Puritans in the late 16th century/early 17th century. Someone mentioned that I should look for a pamphlet published in the 16th century on Puritan "sumptuary" laws, but I am at the end of my rope for online searches.

I don't care how fulled a woolen wool is it can still shrink. If it really needs a cleaning take it to the dry cleaners. I disagree James, it does not need to always go to the dry cleaners. If I ever wash my kit ( I rarely do) I wash it in the tub by hand. I do not think I have ever had to take my ...

Looks more plausible than a bargrill.

I always wash my wool on the hottest setting and then dry it on the hottest setting before making anything from it.

Along with the help from a good friend of mine, I am planning to copy a generic morion from the late 16th to the early 17th century. From what I am able to gather some of these were constructed from two halves and folded together over the crest and then riveted at the front and back. Many of these a...

Isn't a denim jacket, plaid shirt, denim pants and work boots? That's according to my resident Canuck who calls that a Canadian tuxedo!

Just a note to let other parties know this blade is still available. Here is your chance to own a blade nearly 100 dollars below what they are currently selling for and with all of the hardwork already done (polishing)

Primvs Pavlvs

I purchased this earlier in the year in hopes of creating my own bronze age kit. Well, I polished the blade and it sat on my work bench for the past few months gathering dust. Since then, my life has had its ups and downs and I have lost interest in finishing the kit. The blade is a copy of a Bronze...

Thanks James! I am more looking for the belts/baldric systems used at that time.

The one thats in the Landesmuseum in Zurich is removable. I have tried three times to get photos of this helmet, but I have been unable to all three times. The nasal is very unique in design with holes drilled/punched into the lower edge for breathing. I have not seen this feature on any other helme...

I am planning on purchasing a sword for the above period in the next few weeks and I would like to make an appropriate carrier. Does anyone have any pics they can share of replicas based on originals?

Does anyone have one of the cheap Indian ones laying around gathering rust, or dust....?

The Fallbeil was in use in Germany until the Nazi Era.

Primvs Pavlvs

WOW! I really want this!

Primvs Pavlvs

Wade,

I would be willing to drive down from WV with Clang and at least one other friend who would enjoy seeing original armour.

Primvs Pavlvs

Glaukos,

Thats the Type I phaser which you see by itself in the original series. They could be attached to the Type II, which you are seeing to make a more powerful phaser................damn I am a geeek!

Primvs Pavlvs

I am sorry Michael, I should have stated.

I would like something from the original series.

Primvs Pavlvs

Since we are all nerds here, I figured someone would have a spare replica laying aound. I am looking for one of the better replicas, not the toys that came out in the 90s.

If you have something please let me know.

Primvs Pavlvs

You know that you can ask me!
