Hi All, I am going to be putting together the last bits of one of Halberds crusader helm kits this weekend. Quick question. Is one rivet af the top of the slat back really all it needs to be held together? i would hate to be fighting in it and get it popped off. Is it SCA list legal? I live in the E...

MJBlazek

Munz are you talking about specifically for the 14th century? I have found a number of miniatures with to deals on the knees:

Just one example off a quick search. But it is from the early 15th century.

MJblazek, I fully agree, they surely would. The brass alone would be worth that. The belt pictured is a Lorifactor belt and priced between 500-600 euro. Which is about three times as much. I have been ogling one for quite some time, but haven't been able to convince the wife yet that they really ar...

That is what I meant by 3d trapezoid plaque belt.

good god, if someone could get a belt like this priced at about $200/$250 they would sell like hotcakes.

Here is my take on James's illustration. http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=52344 Things I'm not 100% happy with. The person who made it for me did not do the standing collar, or the pleated front. They also did not do a front closure on it. If I really wanted to take the ti...

The thing is, for the most of us here, this IS the first bad thing we have heard about RFTH.

Wow I hate typing on phones. Keeping my harbinger the ring? What does that even mean??? My HAT in the ring.

MJBlazek

If give you $35 for it if/when the time comes. I was just keeping my harbinger the ring:)

O.o The absence of evidence is not the evidence of possibility.
The existence of evidence is the foundation of possibility.

AND THERE IS NO WAY PEOPLE RODE DINOSAURS.

ok, can I say how rediculous it woudl be to make a shield out of gold? Gold is a VERY soft metal. It wouldn't be protective. I am sayign this in the calmest, friendliest voice I can think of, coupled with a big smile. From this point on I say do whatever you want. You ask for help to be more histori...

I think Koops and I have figured out a trade. Trade pending.

MJBlazek

I purchased these from William Frisbee, and while near perfect fit in the chest (40R Jacket Size) The arms are far to small for me. Both made by Klaus the Red when he lived in Boston years ago. These were made for a 5'8" to 5'10" 150-170 lb man with a 32" waist and 40-42" chest. The Joupon is made o...
