I changed the prices on the mail... Also, I'm selling all of my Egyptian stuff, if anyone's interested. www.bronze-warrior.com/egyptian.html The cap is $45, the apron is $30, $40 for the axe, and the kilt+belt is $30. If someone wants it all, I'll go $120. I've also got a tanged spear and three jave...

Hey guys, I believe Stephen will be buying the stuff. If not, I'll let you all know. I've decided I'm also going to get rid of my 16 gauge, butted mail shirt and coif. They're zinc-coated mild steel. the set looks really good, and I split the haubergeon up the front and back for ease of movement. Th...

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey Stephen, I would like that.

Guys, I'd really like to sell it all at once... So, if Stephen get's through, that'll be that. If not, Thorfinn will probably get the axehead, if no one else steps up to buy it all.

Thanks.

Hey Cat, The tunic has been worn several days with mail over it, so some of the trim has a bit of fraying here and there, but with a few proper snips the thing would look good as new (as soon as I get it cleaned!) MRL asks $45, so I'd like $25 for it. The pants are in great condition, and MRL asks $...

Gerhard von Liebau

Hello, good sirs and ladies, I'm wanting to sell my first real costume for event-going. It consists of a Museum Replicas "Viking" tunic and pair of black pants with ties at the waist and ankles, the suede brown low-boots that they advertise in MRL, also, and several other items. The shoes are size 1...

Justin... The school is NOT going to pay for a suit of armor. I'd never planned on making them pay for anything, really. They have enough stuff to pay for as it is. I thought we were going to make a suit to give to the school as a form of of our class present, even if it is more personal. We are not...

Gerhard von Liebau

I thought we were going to make it, Justin..? What's the fun in buying the armor for the new Emperor!? Twenty years from now we can go back to the school and say to folks "Hey, we made that armor our Junior-Senior year that's in that case there!" They also won't change out Edgar. As silly as he look...

Gerhard von Liebau

Jaybird, welcome!

Lewis Moore no longer has a running website, and his armoring is slim, if not non-existant since he got a full-time job metalworking as a welder last year, I believe.

I feel bad for you guys that paid and got stiffed, but there's a reason why I never buy from new posters here on the AA. Heck there's a reason why I don't buy from some "old" posters here too.

Amen to that... I consider my $300 gone, now...

That's the tough way to learn, 'eh?

Paypal failed to get my money back to me, and said the case was closed, unless if the funds are made available in her account, in which case they'll try to reimburse me.

I still think this is a lost cause, since Francesca didn't show back up in the last few days.

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Francesca, I am happy to hear you back on. I greatly appreciate the work you're doing for the disaster, and I hope you will forgive us for the claims we made. You must understand that the lack of communication was very worrying. I will contact paypal as soon as I get my shipment and call off the cla...

Gerhard von Liebau

Bumping, hopefully to remind people that this needs to be dealt with NOW.

The more claims that are filed, the more likely Paypal will do something about this mess.

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Dan, beautiful pieces. I noticed on the greaves I got from you that they have a bit of a pinch at the top. What should I do to avoid this? Just add some type of padding, perhaps?

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Geoffrey, I'm afraid the idea of this is that we won't likely be seeing our merchandise. IF Francesca was in fact drawn away from her computer contact for this unfortunately long amount of time, and can provide us with proof that our purchases are on their way, and a good reason why she hasn't been ...

Gerhard von Liebau

I've just got done filing a claim with Paypal against Francesca... But, it didn't seem they had an address posted, so I don't know what is up. I'm sick of this wait and lack of communication, and would like my money back, if you're out there, Francesca. If any of you guys who made purchases have det...

Gerhard von Liebau

I don't mind delays. But I don't like not getting a response to inquiries. Same here, I think it's about time that we DO try to get my money back... I'd love to have the product, as I'm sure we all would. But if we aren't going to get it from Francesca, then we might as well get it from someone els...

Gerhard von Liebau

Still interested in a gambeson, and a reply!

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Stacy, I was figuring it wouldn't quite hold up like most other riveted mail, but I'm sure it'll do better than Butted, and for the time being this is the only riveted stuff I can afford. Very little of the shirt will actually be exposed, as I'll be wearing cuir bouilli rerebraces over the shoulders...

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey guys, I know lots of reviews go in the classifieds, but I'm puttin' this here, well, because I like here better... Lol. Anyway, I got in my riveted mail from Kingslance Ebay Store today... The rings are pretty solid (it seems) and zinc-coated. For the most part are in very good order with the mi...

Gerhard von Liebau

Wowzers... Any full-body shots to show?

Lol...

Gerhard von Liebau

Francesca,

I didn't recieve my gambeson, yet. I'm in California. Would I have gotten it yet?

Thanks. Glad to at least know what's up!

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey guys, I started driving to school this year, and I have to commute about 200 miles per week. I also have to pay for lunches five days a week. I currently have absolutely no money, and am in need of help, since this is my family's financial low-time (before crop comes in) and they're just about a...

Gerhard von Liebau

Awesome! I'm curious, would a backplate be period for the mid-14th century? I know I mentioned a commission to you, and think I'd probably want just the chestplate. Could you give me a quote for just that?

Thanks, and beautiful stuff!

Have fun a Pennsic, guys!

Ray... That picture is very sexy. You have lotsa' talent, man, as many have said! Not only can you make good plastic armor, you can make good people to go in it, too! Sedric, can't wait to see the pictures of how your daughter's armor comes along! A cross-examination with this stuff could be rather ...

Gerhard von Liebau

Oh, wow! That's very neat! Odd choice of colors, in my opinion, but they do in fact go together well!

Cheers!

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Wow, that design is intense. With a white background, green vines and gold leaf design, I think it would look just about as good as it could get!

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey Dave,

Throw the images my way, via email. I'll post them here for you.

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Having seen pictures of Dave's workshop, I'm pretty sure they'd be beaten... I could be wrong though, so definitely don't take my word for it! Hope you get one you want, Justin.

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Oh, silly me. I'd forgotten that he sells them! I'm aware of Cat's offer in a thread that's up right now, but I'm going to go with the larger vervelles he offers, so, thanks for the x-posts, folks! I'm gonna' get them from Talbot's site, though.

Cheers!

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey folks, I'm looking for a set of vervelles to put around a bascinet. The helmet is based on pictures from The Romance of Alexander, which dates to 1348. Anything that would be suitable for a bascinet from this era will do. I'd like to keep it cheap, so I could probably use some someone has sittin...

Gerhard von Liebau

I'm pretty sure his site is down... He got a job several months back, and I don't THINK he's doing enough armoring to bother upkeeping the site. That's the way it was the last time I checked. Might have changed by now, though! Good luck, his work is well worth the trouble to find his hideout, though...

Gerhard von Liebau

FYI, Justin... Cet's the guy who made my Bascinet, so you've seen his work.

Cheers!

-Gregory-

Gerhard von Liebau

Hey guys,

The description and pictures on this thing say all. It's a great lot of several thousand cards, many of which are very play-worthy, especially in Classic (or Type I) games, since it's a couple years since I've gotten any cards!
