You have to register as the maker, or you are a seller of "vintage" items.

Wow... wow...

Again if people are interested... see this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=164637&p=2499317#p2499317

No Thaden's mark is sort of a T and A put together http://www.thadenarmory.com/

MJBlazek

when I had it. Big. It might have been an inch and a half.

MJBlazek

If no one bids on the shirt by thursday I will take that instead of the coif.

MJBlazek

oh to add information on this.
Yes it was made by Hal. It was made to fit my head which is a 24 1/4 melon, with room for 2 inches of padding.

MJBlazek

I reminded my bid. My wife reminded me I really don't have the extra cash for it. Give it a good home.

MJBlazek

$95. I am fairly sure this was my FIRST SCA helmet. I would love to have it back!

MJBlazek

I don't need the spaulders or the basket hilt, but I'm interested in the rest. PM sent.

MJBlazek

$45 on the complete coif

MJBlazek

Any other reccomendations?

MJBlazek

That looks like it is a "real" version of the Full Metal Alchemist suit.

MJBlazek

There have been a slew of very nice, but small helmets put up lately.

MJBlazek

in the very technical aspect yes.
I had always taken "Covered Armor" to mean a piece that has fabric or leather permanently affixed to its surface.

MJBlazek

It warms me to see such dedication to friend and portrayal.
I have added him to the list of applicants.

MJBlazek

I always took the Greene effigy to depict a type fitting jupon over the armor, not specifically what I would refer to as "covered armor."

Am I wrong in this assumption?

MJBlazek

That'd be darn close to Maine, Scotty

MJBlazek

Well then.. anyone who is going please see my other thread

Please do!

As I have done for past Combat of the Thirty deeds I would like to sponsor the ransom of a worthy combatant. I have Sponsored two nobles so far. Baron Maximilion von Halstern. To I gifted a gold ring, beset with a ruby and pearls that opened to show a space to put a picture of a beloved. And a missi...

MJBlazek

all of the above.
I really like Klaus's suggestion. The Wisby is the predomenant form of COP used by SCA fighters, because of ease of construction. I don't blame them for it. However, it would be nice to see some other styles.

MJBlazek

Do we know anyone here taking part in it?

MJBlazek

That'd be great Hans!

MJBlazek

Osprey in one of ther books dates it at 1410, Galfrid has it dated as 1410-1414. I have a helmet that fits the look of these miniatures- (red Surcoat) http://armourinart.com/mm/media/cache/original/36-1_gallery.jpg (without the visor) (Purple in the center, if I added a visor) http://armourinart.com...

MJBlazek

Wondering when and where the next one is planned to take place?
If there is allowable time I would like to offer up another Ransom sponsorship.

I think I have found a manuscript painting that best matches my breastplate with "nad-tasset" TM I had originally set out to go for a Pistoia alter representation looking at it closer it really isn't. But THIS manuscript I think is much more like it. I just have to tweak helmet I have to look better...

Andy is a salt of the earth guy. Not only does he make great stuff already, he is constantly working to improve his skills.
He is upfront with customers, and will go out of his way to make sure you are a satified customer.
Pitbull Armory is on my top 10 list to send people to.

MJBlazek

I have 500 pictures form the Met I took when I was there. And that is the ONE piece I did not take a picture of.

MJBlazek

ok then...

MJBlazek

o...k what?

MJBlazek

hmm, So the answer is no. And I am ok with that.
I need to stop looking for the "strange and nont-done" anyway.

There is nothing wrong with doing a basic and generic mid 14th century kit as long as it is done well.

MJBlazek

Is there any evidence of this surcoast and ailettes worn with different armor?

I love that look, but am not big on wearing full chain sleeves.

Also what type of helmet would be worn with this? A Great helm?

MJBlazek

quick side question for you- Do you fight in this? I have one too that I have been thinking about wearing under my breasplate.
