1853 Enfield stamped on the action. Armi Sport on the barrel.

Angusm0628

Yep, got me an Armi Sport 53 3 band. This is an older one (still has adjustable sight) but has the brass bands instead of the blued steel. Lots of brass hardware on it as well.

My first Kingdom Crusades I had three guys deliberately break my spear. One would pin the spear down while one of the others would Hammer it with their polearm. After about three of these pin and slaps my spear was broken..

That, Nissan, was an awesome event.

Indeed, never in my life did I enjoy such a thorough ass kickin' as was given at that event.

If Liam drops out, I may have a buyer for ya as well. I'm passing this on to her for perusal.

Eamonn Mac Alaxandair will also be fighting for the English..

Angusm0628

I am fighting for the English.

I'll get hold of him post haste then. I might be able to catch this helm before Pennsic. If he says "Yeah but it will be a bit. It won't be a problem for me as I'll have the other helm lying around...

Angusm0628

Jackie was my first option as well as he did several pieces for me before this (retro fit of a klapvisor to my helm, redid my finger gauntlets, reworked other stuff for my current helm). However I was informed Jackie's not taking commission for a spell for personal reasons and so I needed to cast my...

you would ask me that question when the helm isn't in front of me.

Angusm0628

I'll be looking to modify an existing helm. I just can't take possession of it til Pennsic.

Angusm0628

Here's the deal. After Pennsic I will be coming into a new to me stainless bascinet. What I need is someone who can blast the bar grill off and put a set of mounts on it so I can switch out the visor which also will need to be built to fit. (I have a klapvisor with mounts that MAAAYYY work. I will s...

Angusm0628

Konstantin pretty well nailed it. It doesn't look like you have any cuisses on the legs just a tan pair of pants. If that's the case, yer gonna need those as well.

Cheers!

Ice

Me? I am not. I sent you a P.M. regarding awaiting blessings from those higher on the food chain and costs.

Angusm0628

Is this going to be Earl Marshall Specific? If not and Ice has some at Southern Region next weekend, I'll buy one for my alternate spear and hopefully see some use of it at the event.

I sent a missive to my Earl Marshal on this as well.

Angusm0628

Matt, Here's my recommendation. DO you have any local Chiv that will endorse you becoming a Marshall? Not necessary but it does grease the wheels incredibly if presented at the same time as you apply for your warrant. Make sure you're a paid member. Submit your Name with a copy of your Drivers licen...

I bet I know where they are then...GONE.. The thread containing the Rules was probably lost during the crash of 2007. I know I had read them here prior to competing my first time..

Angusm0628

Search Combat of the Thirty here on the archive. There is a listing of What is and what is not acceptable to the field. Then you'll need petition the Captains for acceptance on the list for one team or the other.

Angusm0628

Yep..

Angusm0628

Get a boogie board. Cut out a head approximating a period pole weapon (I do a partisan head myself) Cut a groove in the back of the head to fit the rattan. Apply shoe goo to back of head and set in place. Apply strapping tape attaching the head to haft. Build thrusting tip Duct tape to outer surface...

Angusm0628

I did some first hand observation just the other day. Photos/video of people in my household, including me, from 5 years ago til today. Same people WAYYYYY different looks with some subtle yet obvious changes.

Angusm0628

This thread has gone so far off the track, I need the hubbel to find it...someone nuke the damn thing already if ya would..

Angusm0628

I know of at least one Pelican and one Laurel made (from the ranks within my household), neither of them swore fealty at their elevation.

Angusm0628

Well since we're running down the derail line. Here's an idea.

Stop making Masters everywhere for rattan (leave it for fencing) and just have Knights and Knights Errant. Same honorific (Sir) same scroll same regalia...Just leave out the chain for those not in fealty to the crown..

Angusm0628

Me either. If I lived in one of those kingdoms, I'd do my best to get knighted, then at the last second (mid ceremony) I'd put the belt up on my shoulder. Either it'd make the masterless kingdoms have a master, giving a precedent for future masters, or it'd make the king look like a giant douche fo...

Angusm0628

WOW... One question of "Is this rumor true" leads to this.. Guys/gals, seriously all I was trying to do was find out if a rumor was true..There is no way it could have been as has been pointed out that the East never signed on so how could they stop something they never started... I got my...

Angusm0628

Tailoress, thanks for heads up.. I didn't know the East didn't recognize the White Scarf to begin with. So in essence that answers my query...

Angusm0628

Does the rumor say that they are going to make their own GoA order? Haven't heard any part two of the rumor such as G.O.A. etc. Just that the East is doing away with the White Scarf... AND since it's originating to me from Trimaris, I thought I'd ask for the skinny on it so I can either say "Y...

Angusm0628

Any truth to this?? Apparently it's making the rounds at least in Trimaris that the East is looking to do away with the white scarf treaty and eliminating it from any future grantings..

Angusm0628

Angusm0628

Forgive the dumb question. I understand that pickup fights will count as rapier combat at Pennsic and therefore require authorization. That makes sense, as pickups are full speed and require full rapier armor and marshal inspection. However, do classes, slow work, training, and drills also require ...

Angusm0628

Thorstenn, I worded that wrong. When I said "normal fighter", I was talking about the guys who dont travel and play in their own little pond. From my experience they take lighter, than what I expect folks to take, but they do make up the majority of the fighters in the SCA. But when I tra...

Angusm0628

Why did I have this mental Conversation in my head that went "You might be bigger than me young man, But I'm your mother and I can still spank your ass"?? hehehehe

Angusm0628

1) Improper body mechanics to deliver a shot

2) Improper Stance

3) covering their eyes with the shield when blocking and leaving it there

4) Not moving the shield enough to effectively block.
