The Armour Archive

Thaddeus

This bascinet was originally made for Joe Cesarelli here on the archive by Duke Kelson. I bought it from Joe 6 or 7 years ago for $750. I have modified it by replacing the sheet metal klapvisor hinge with one of the hinges sold by revival US. I also made a bar grill that follows a similar outline to...

I bought a 7075 shield from Roderick 5 or 6 years ago, it is still going strong with no signs of failure. I need to peel the cover and repaint for the spring season so I will check then for stress cracks. You might check with Johannes - since he now owns mandrake armoury. You could also check local ...

Thaddeus

I know this has been covered, but since the search is down and this came up in a recent conversation on the way to an event - and both Eadric and I realized we did not have a firm grasp on the discussion as it had happened, so I am asking for more details. What is a tournament of chivalry/or what sh...

Check matuls.pl for a pretty good version of one.

Sir Michael I am pretty certain that I can speak for Adam and the rest of the priory and say that you are most welcome to take the field with us anytime you would like.

Thaddeus

Thank you sir!

A couple:

Thaddeus

I saw lots of archivers in passing, Dweezle twice. Wanted to look more closely at your hat... But was in the midst of being stopped both times.

Ah well, more events coming this spring and summer.

Thaddeus

Gaston could you share any more pics of #2.
I remember it from a St Mikes pas a few years back I think. I would like to see it in more detail.

Thaddeus

Sir Kieran.

Someone out here has "a boar and in chief, 3 plates". Pearls before swine. That would be my squire brother Daniel. Master Harold Von Auerbach has Vert a winged pig leaping argent. "When pigs fly or if pigs could fly" I have also seen or in chief two rondels sable and in base an ...

[quote="D. Sebastian]Assumed armour is chain over padded gambison with splinted arms and legs, and an open face helm.[/quote] And as someone who regularly fights in only the assumed minimums as my main armor in an area that is renowned for hitting hard(ish) most people here dont hit hard enough...

Does it squeak?

Thaddeus

Hah! Congratulations to Drogo indeed.

It is an interesting experience to see the people you start with achieve greatness. I am very happy for him and wish I could have been there to witness the tourney first hand.
I miss tournaments in Caid.

Does anyone have pictures?

Thaddeus

Specifically I am interested in hearing peoples experience with the spoke and hub method of holding up a round tent as opposed to the perimeter pole versions. How do folks like the panther version. How easy is it to assemble these and how durable are the pieces that panther provides. Also if anyone ...

Do basket hilts constiture 'armor' for the purposes of this deal?

I need basket hilts and a new pavilion.

Thaddeus

So if the field battle is in the spirit of the Battle of Hattin, do the Crusaders get no water for the duration of the battle?

Thaddeus

Congratulations Eyvandr.

Thaddeus

The Aspis in the picture Winterfell posted can be bought here http://www.rlqm.com/.

Thaddeus

That's pretty inspirational.

Hmm...
Off to the shop.

Thaddeus

Thats how I got the majority of the metal to move, using the horn of the anvil. Guess I need a heavier hammer, the dead blow I have is not quite up to the task.

Thaddeus

I have a pair of bascinet halves from Cet, I am trying to get the point into its proper location. Which is proving to be a bear. After wailing away at one of the halves for a couple of hours its about where it should be but the tip is still curved in.

How are you guys doing it?

And I was wearing my SCA sport kit

Thaddeus

Here is mine made with some parts from Zweihammer. It is an oval.
Congratulations to Sir Alvar who wears the close cousin to my helmet - well genetically at least. I am very glad to hear that he has been elevated.

Thaddeus

Greetings. Tribune Darius Serpentius won for the chivalry and also had the most victories on the oxhides. Damon von Drakenklaue won for the unbelts and was fourth place overall. We had a total of 170 fighters registered, I dont know how many bouts were fought, but it was nearly continuous fighting f...

Thaddeus

Parlan are these still available?

Thaddeus

I will be there, I am in charge of marshaling once again.

Thaddeus

Karl will you have those chausses at Birka and will your price still be in effect? I'd like to take a look at them in person. I will be MIC at Birka again this year - but hope to be able to peel myself away from the fighting for a brief run through the merchants at some point.

Thaddeus

Brennus I have an ancient Kirby helm that might fit I can measure it and send some pics tonight.

Thaddeus

Tim do you have any close up or detail pics of yours?
