got it
The stainless klappvisor arrived! Good job. My fault for not being clearer on the mounting but I should be able to have that done locally. A little elbow grease and polishing and I'll try and post photos of it on the helm (in a while). hjalmr - I'll ask before I just derail this thread; I have a fig...

SO how much for the greaves? And/or legs? Not that I need much more loaner stuff here.....
I'll point this out to a few folks so that you can try and keep it together. I'll be glad to bow out with my passing interest if you find a buyer for it all.

Thank you all for the research!
Kudos to Talbot for the photos of the potscrubber.
It appears that most of the stories are urban legends though.

Navy pot scrubber mail??
Has anyone heard of the British Navy chopping up old chainmail armor to make pot scrubbers in WWI(?)
Better yet, does anyone have old photos of SCA armour reassembled from these?
It has been almost twenty years since I heard these stories (until someone just reminded me) and never saw it myself.

Quick question on subject if not line of conversation:
Does anyone have a picture or link to photo of original "viking age" chainmail?
Hopefully showing how it was fastened and how big the links were.

Alright, they were very well made and fun to use; it would have been a special kind of "ugly" to be hit with one of these maces.

"Armour will defiantly take longer than the outfit, but plans are in the works." I wish I could make my own guarb as easily as armour. I keep beating it with a hammer but it doesn't dish worth anything then is jams up my power shears, and rivets just don't hold it together very well.
