It is - made and used by Will. He gave it to someone else, who didn't need it. I acquired it, but since I don't joust, due to riding a horse slightly less well than another horse would, I decided to offer it up, in order to raise funds for something shiny that I will use!

Pics here give some idea. It can be a fairly custom thing, depending on your harness, preference and size of ecranche - the one in these pics is pretty large!

Thanks for the bid. When new straps are attached there should be provision for a strap with a buckle that goes under the spaulder and buckles onto the shoulder strap of the back & breast (the ecranche lies on top of course) and then another strap that straps around your upper arm.

Okay - what we have here is a (used) leather-backed steel ecranche. Not sure if I want to auction, sell or trade it as I've no idea what the going rate would be. It's made by a professional armourer from what I guess to be mild steel (might be a different steel, but we'll stick with mild for the mom...

On the other side of the coin, to be fair, I ordered some clothing and leather armour from Armstreet and recieved them in good time and was very happy. This was about two years ago.

You know, I LIKE that idea. It's a kind of modified standard (which I may may not need, lol). Aluminium would be no good for me though. But it looks good sir.

Therion Arms has one - http://therionarms.com/reenact/com162.html

Basically a fairly broad-blade, long spear-head, with little taper along most of it's length, to the best of my knowledge.

Hmmm...can't get the videos to work, just get the soundtrack On the otherhand, flights to Vilniusfrom the UK start at well under £200!! Much less than I thought. If I could see the combat (and arrange at least one travel partner) I'd potentially be interested. Also - only swords and shield? Not axe...
