The Armour Archive

Stephen

Once more I say I really enjoyed the pics and If chefs posts make any of the people on this archive try harder or start to put the idea of LH in thier minds than he has done a good service.

Stephen

I will cease to take this thread over and once more say I enjoyed the pics very much.!

EVERY SINGLE ARCHIVER NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE PHOTO SITE!

Very nice work and great medieval photos. All the work is wonderful!
looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for sharing.

Stephen

With a backdrop like that and use of it as well I can really see losing yourself in the period! The pics are very nice and it is nice to see a large group of people in armor and swinging steel in a good mood.

After Igot thru the pics with the cars in it I really enjoyed the pics. lol

Stephen

I am racking my brain trying to find a source to show a large pauldron with a bascinet with either a globose or hundskull visor?

Stephen

email sent to profile addy. Thanks

Stephen

Rod- Nice to hear some sound to the clip. I have the full clip of that tourney but it has no sound. I like the way the music goes with some of the hits!

From your site I see you have gotton the "Ful plate bug" pretty strong! I am emailling you as well.

Llyod- We are all Jonesing for pics!

Shark made a sparrow beak close helm for me that fit like a second skin. It was weird getting used to being in a close fitting helm that a squire had to take off you. I was used to a great helm with a arming cap and coif. I had a chin strap break during a tilt and every other stride I would lose sig...

I know Kenneth Brannagh does a wonderful job of putting shakespeare to the film for people to get interested enough to read but I wanted to know if the armor the french wore in his move adaptation of Henry V was period. The armor I am most interested in is the french knights in the battle of agincou...

by the sword sells varients of this type helm as well. They say they are from the CAS line which would explain the Paul Chen. They have them for $115.00 If I was starting out I would prob. go with one of Otto,s helms though.

Stephen

I have emailled you with pics. I have no way of posting pics directly.

Stephen

I am pretty sure the word in french for the 18 gauge butted maille coming out of india is Merde! I could be wrong

Stephen

Good day. I have a question or two to ask . I have a small LLC that does educational demos in schools (elementary). I have a decent amount of armor that includes mostly 14th cent. stuff. Here is the problem. I am thinking of doing things a bit more authentic. I in the past did things within a 50 yea...

Stephen

Pat- The look is decieving. my face does not come too far outside the helm opening at all so the visor never even touches or comes close to my nose. I have a hundskull visor as well with the perforations in the oculars. when I wear that I can smoke a cigarette in there. lol Thanks for looking out th...

Stephen

Ceaser Salad- Sorta like a Viking PCP? (Angel Dust). I know of certain natural roots and plants causing a sort of uphoria and other reactions so maybe there is some sort of truth to the beserk thing. As far as being hereditary it might just have been a concoction handed down from family member to fa...

Stephen

Dont forget the No#2 pencil to bite down on when the fit comes on

I once read a report that said the "beserk" was a hereditary form of epilepsey (sp?). Any thoughts on that?

Stephen

I am prob. wrong but I was thinking with a close helm kit you would attach the pauldrons and arms to the gorget via 1 1/2 type wide leather straps with buckles?
Thats how I am doing mine. If it is wrong for period I am sorry but it seems the only way to get teh heavy larger armor pieces to stay.

Stephen

I emailled you about some work. Just letting you know.

Stephen

Oh yeah, well Lewis made me...

hourglass gaunts
3/4 legs
full arms
spanish gorget
bascinet with 3 visors
great helm
pauldrons with huate guards
spaulders
breastplate
and soon to be breast and back and codpiece.

Oh, they are all in stainless 16 G!

Na na! Your turn.

Warren from Hoseki Leather lives in Yellowknife. He does steel work but I am sure he must know of anyone doing medieval stuff up there. Not to big of an area.

Stephen

I would like to recomend Talbots. I put in a order (very easy to do) for vervelles for my helm. They were shipped withing the week. I in turn sent them and my helm to my armourer (Lewis Moore) and he raved about them as well and ordered some himself. The only thing is that I emailed Talbots a few da...

Go to a store (book or hobby) that has osprey books and look at the one called "outreemer" I think you will see what you are looking for. If you can not find it I will try to take a few decent digi pics of mine and email them to you. I know alot of people do not like the osprey for Very authentic re...

With the bargrill issue, I did not want to come into thier house and tell them how to arrange thier furniture on the first day. I would not take it too well if I had it done to me. If I was involved in thier kingdom for a bit more then I think you are right about asking them to review it a bit more....

Stephen

I think on a blue round felt backing sewn onto a black beret they would look great! Although here in the USA they might have something aginst it in the "Patriot Act" if they started seeing packs of archive guys in them!

Stephen

The Marshall here in Trimaris at the fighter practice I went to said the bargrill was to thin of barstock and it did not come down in front enough. Let me say that the guys at the fighter practice were nothing short of great. I started to go to thier practices because my steel guys started flutterin...

Stephen

Would that have been my helm you tried on or a new one of his? He has my helm and is doing some aventail work and putting steel mesh in the oculars to my two visors. I can not wait to get it back! I dig his work!

Stephen

well... They sold in less than one hour! Thanks.

Stephen

I just put up some munition grade legs on ebay. They were mine more than a few years ago and I sold them to a friend. He just got new ones so they are for sale. They are from Bokalo's Armoury and are Alum. I will put the ebay link here and if anyone from this board buys them for the buy it now I wil...

saw these today. They might work.

Stephen

Man! I love cheaper than dirt! I have no clue why more people do not know about them.

Stephen

I think you are describing the one and only "KingsLance" type armor. They are mass sellers of what I think you are looking for. You can find them all over ebay. Just type in kings lance or sca armor and look at a few postings. You will run across them in no time. I think for what you need it for the...

Is the armor in Brannagh's Movie Henry V period?

need idea of time period for my armor

Helm From Lewis moore and Aventail from Lost helm (pics)
