Quick fix before you get the gamb. sleeves longer is to go to a tennis section of a sporting goods store and buy a package of terry cloth wrist bands. They work fairly well on my wrist problem.

hey that big lug in the first pic looks like you Llyod. Even with the visor down.

Lewis more makes a nice one. I use it for heavy steel work. Here are a few pics.

I have been a Asatru (One who is faithful to the Aseir) for over 25 years. I am both Asatru and a Germanic Pagan. My family originates from the Northern (Norman) France and Southern Germany. I think that Wil is correct about it being not a religious thing but a person thing. I think Vinzer IMHO is n...

Have you tried the streets of east LA? I am sure if you get to them in teh wee hours of the morning before teh sweepers you could have your pick of the litter.

TASTES GREAT!

RedLeg- You are right about each state having thier own law about shipping. I sold my Browning Hi-Power (FN-Herstal) and shipped it overnite thru UPS to a dealer in Delaware. All it took was the Dealer mailing down a copy of his FFL and UPS mails it to the address on teh licence. So the best way to ...

Stephen

I looked over their entire site and I will say this. I do believe you got the only piece of armor that seemed to be made pretty well for the price. If I was going to purchase off that site it would prob. be the placard as well. Maybe I am out of touch but the armor on that site seemed a bit exspensi...

Stephen

You both have good points. I do think the Adria regs are a very good jumping off point as well. I do not like the "Ooh ya got me, Im dying over here" acts at all either. The alum sword idea might be pretty cool? Do you have a link to who makes them and thier price range? What about alum axes instead...

Stephen

First let me say that I have seen a decent amount of Adria combat and talked to alot of guys in it. I must say I do like teh combat rules and regs on thier site. The only problem I ever had with Adria was the lack of decent armor. I know there are some out there but for the most part it is a big no....

I think that if the knights were to be familair with a grouping of weapons then it can add more drama to the event by having a knight "win the coin toss" In some medieval way and have the right to choose first weapon. Like in the robert taylor version of "Ivanhoe" when Sir Brian Guellbere says "I ba...

cblackthorne - Your two cents was in my opinion priceless and well needed. Thanks for that post.

Yes welcome, I guess? Oh what the heck, even New Zealanders are welcome! Dont mind me I am just jealous of the beauty of the Country and the amount of Movie work geared toward re-enactors lately. But as a flipside to all that beauty and work you have to give Callum (Order of the Boar) a place to liv...

I got these from Lewis Moore. Alot has been said about him on this board of late. Its all true! He is great! I have been getting armor from him for several months and I am always happy with every aspect of the deal. I asked for a set of 16G stainless arms. I wanted one fan only. The shield arm has n...

Stephen

Lewis Moores armor is way overpriced and complete crap! Dont anybody else put any orders in!

Now that that is done, back to making me more stuff lewis!

Stephen

By your profile I see you are a larper. I live near a public tennis court. If your in need of "lightning bolts" let me know. They are often lying around outside the fenced courts. Ok, seriously I think that most here when they see a new member asking for free garb and armor and not mixing the post u...

Stephen

I think Gruber is right. I have fought at 3/4 to full speed with steel and the deciding factor was the armor I was wearing. I also think that the well established fighting schools might not be the way to go. they do not fight at 3/4 to full speed. they do not do the bashing and head butting and pomm...

Lewis Morre is the name and stainless and mild is his game. Turnaround time better than the rest. Give him a chance and on the field you will be the best!

Stephen

I think if we all step back for a moment and look at both sides it will look a bit better to many. I for one would like to see a compettive tourney amongst people who respect each other and are concerned with thier opponents like some of the jousting groups out their. Like Rod and Callums groups and...

Stephen

Just adding my .02 in here. I ahve purchased several things from this gentlemen and the transactions were friendly and easy and the products I received were very nice. Plus once you buy from him he will let you know thru an email when he has something he thinks you might like. I wanted the close hel...

http://www.wcja.ca/ Nice guys doin it right and the yare near you.

Stephen

Gaston- Did you getteh pics I sent of teh shields from this UK site?

http://www.herstmonceux.com Please everyone who reads this go to this site and look in the "Image bank" Great pics! I have known of this site for a couple of years and whenever I think my kit is looking good I go here and think some more. lol

Stephen

It has also been realeased with a different cover jacket so keep an eye on the title and authors when looking at books of this same size.

Stephen

http://blakpryns.tripod.com/index.html this is Rod Walkers Jousting site. They are in AUS and I know they know other re-enactors.

Stephen

What ever happen to the armoured guy drinking a pint of stout and smoking a unfiltered smoke before a good fight? I guess he either died of cancer or scarosis (sp). Or maybe got tired of the big belly and cough whilst the "South Beach" diet guys were running circles around him. I am sure glad I cut ...

Stephen

He may have bad taste in beer but he makes up for it with his taste in smokes! Are those Luckies I see? I smoked them for 10 years!

Stephen

Lewis has made armour for me and is still making armour for me. He is great! I sold my Belg. Browning Hi-Power to get more from him

Stephen

Otto- When I saw this post I as well as many others who have been on this board knew right away that this is a good deal from a good and nice armourer. I have bought armour from you and was very happy. I have also noticed a decent amount of new members who might not be familiar with your work. So I ...

Stephen

Great post! Enjoyed ever word of it. Thanks

Stephen

Lady Claire- Anything you do on a horse is better with riding exp. Wether it is western or English. There are some small differences in tilting but not many. The "seat" for one thing is diff. It will feel a bit odd for you to extend your legs and tilt forward in the saddle with just a fraction of yo...

Stephen

If the armor is made for you it lessens the effect when being unhorsed. . Although Rod,s opinion may vary LOL. I am sure he will tell you the same. Getting punctured with ones own armor is a embarassing painful mistake. There are those certain unhorsings that you just cant believe the hit could be h...

Stephen

Small amount of faire jousting as well as tourny . Not nearly as much as I would like to. Horses ridden in teh tilt..Belgian, Clydesdale, Percheron, Quarter, Shire, American Cream, and yes a norweigien Fjord! lol. I own none of these. They belonged to the various Jousting companies. As far as armor ...

If you can not see the pics then go to my Little free msn site. There are pics there plus many others of my medieval love.

Actually in the pic people are referring to just before I snapped this pic they were in close fighting and the big guy in the green came across with his right arm and sorta side closelined him in a downward motion to the left. They were in close so it was his inside right forearm that did it. He bou...

Just recieved new custom stainless arms (pics)
