I think the economy is the killer. I have seen several helms go for really low prices lately. Cheflua sold some for like 300$$- icefalcon kettle -350$$
I'm not saying you're price is too high, there is a lot of detail in those helms. I think everyone is broke.

Yojimbo

Is this the maker ?

Cool helms.

Yojimbo

It is very nice and has most details needed from the Burgh castle helm.

Nice helmet.

Yojimbo

I /love/ these hats. Not sure why-just kinda whimsical, I guess. If you want to discuss a lighter steel version, shoot me an email. I could use it to pattern a combat version, which is an idea I've kicked around, but haven't decided whether or not to do. Sending PM momentarily addressing a couple o...

Doesit have d-rings installed, or a loop welded to the chin of the bargrill ?
WMA helms often have them.

Yojimbo

I have a white Mtn armory with a steel nasal, same pattern.

I was wodering what price to expect for a riding-hat style Jingasa, in leather or steel ( 20 gaugeish .... ) - this is the cowboy hat type. Pic is a 16 plater, but anything that gets the shape right will do. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q165/jkelley117/jin1_zps26ca0f47.jpg http://i136.photobuc...

I wish I would have had your website back then. Then I wouldn't have huge Xs and no railroad tracks.....

I heard of a few back then. But without the old internet, I couldn't find an armorer to build me one.

Yojimbo

Looking great.

This is part plug, part practical advice: I'm about to start a big run of kabutos after a long hiatus from Jap stuff, and re-tooling the patterns (and adding a couple of new ones). You can see some progress pics on my FB if you're interested: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Clang-Armory/1983621402350...

Many moons ago, in the fine year of 1994, I had dreams of an SCA Samurai harness. In that era of spun tops and great helms, kabuto were unheard of. I ordered the Best of tthe Hammer series and in volume 2, there was a pattern for kabuto. I begged and pleaded a local gentle, Harold of Barth, who had ...

Great helm, underpriced IMO. I love the dorsal look of the point.

Yojimbo

Beautiful.

Does this end tonight at 0000 pacific ? Just checking.

Torvaldr does great leather ones

Yojimbo

Those look like wedge rivets.

It's a little more informal around here than some of the other forums out there.
Easy going, I think most people like it that way.

I am currently fighting in Japanese armor and in the progress of making more.. I currently use plastic lamellar from http://www.plasticlamellar.com/ It was period for Japanese and can be documented for authenticity. I wear hakama which I bought at a martial arts store though my wife can make them n...

Yojimbo

Looks a lot like the one Shamrock did recently !! Great helm.

Yojimbo

So what do we do as a community ?
If you don't dib on here you're gonna lose said item to a line of dibbers.

Yojimbo

I am not a fan of dibs either. Problem I have found is, if you don't dub it, you're probably gonna miss it. I usually don't committ unless I know I want to buy something. Another problem we have is sellers who list incompletely in the OP. No pics, no sizes, etc.....so you wait to see what that 100$ ...

Yojimbo

Interested in the conan sword pending Pics please.

Yojimbo

See if he still has this one .....
