Putting helm back up for sale, since found out this morning I was a victim to my companys RIF (reduction in force).

So back up for sale for $600.

Thanks for looking

Syrfinn

Lol, ok that had me chuckling.

Maybe get a nice Dentyne sticker on side of helm, or on the shield. :p

Syrfinn

Oh be quiet bard boy.

Werent you the other one that told me stop bidding on it, when Deflaraito put it back up for sale, last year.

Or that might of been one of our guys here in kingdom that makes fun of me and my new kits. :p

Syrfinn

Lol, not kidding as far as I am concerned. Whether its in my head or not, no idea. I just know for me it works.

Syrfinn

Alaric, sending you a pm, about that helm. It actually is my old one, that I have been looking for.

He was, now he is living in peaceful retirement, tending to his fields.

This year Duke Malcolm is our Warlord.

Will admit, I have a bad habit of holding my breath when I fight. I am guessing cause I was a swimmer in HS, and just got in the habit of always holding my breath, and taking quick short breaths betwen whatever. Something that helped me, and I want to say I heard that Duke Fabian does this, or maybe...

Syrfinn

Yeah, pretty sure those were made by Grettr.

Syrfinn

Looks great MJ, very nicely done, and a very beautiful favor your fiance made for you.

edit - deleted second part, cause dont need to feed trolls.

Syrfinn

edit not looking for trades now

Syrfinn

Not looking to trade anymore, need to sell

Syrfinn

Yeah its the Zweihammer kit.

I love the helm and the look.

Syrfinn

Bought this last month from Icefalcon, when he was having his sale. So got it for $695. Fits 24" head 12 gauge stainless Has not been used, has a few scuff marks from me hitting myself in head with stick to test padding. Plus there is glue residue inside from where I had glued padding. No drill...

Each person needs to find what works for them. Last 2 Crowns I have fought in, got to Semis first one, got to Finals the last one. Both I acted like a goof ball all day, and was extremely relaxed. Went in with no expectations, other than to have fun, and give my opponent the best fight I could. The ...

Syrfinn

Shield I bought from you guys last year, has held up decently so far, no real bad bends in it, from what I can tell. With that being siad, it is a centergrip, and so, has a bit more give way, when blocking shots. Where as with heaters and strapped shields, you tend to block more forcibly with little...

Syrfinn

Bumping this one more time, to see if I get lucky.

Heck, would even trade new Topfhelm from Icefalcon/Zweihammer that I just got.

Syrfinn

Hmm, I think I need to get one of those voice modulator thing a majogs from Dune and see if Madu is a power word.

Syrfinn

I feel so bad for Atlantia and Angelsey this year.

Folks on the same side are going to be getting in their way, and folks on the other side are all going to try and kill them.

Just so they might get a chance to get in Ursus's pics.

Syrfinn

Nah, sporks are way to overpowered.

I think foons would be a way better name for them.

Or maybe dance team batons.

I kid, I kid.

Syrfinn

I hate them, cause I have heard rumors that they call gophers mean names behind their backs.

Which is just mean. I mean come on, gophers cant help being chubby, cute and being great dancers.

Syrfinn

Lol, yeah Maeryk.

Syrfinn

Not sure if Icefalcon still has some, but just bought a stainless rivetted blackened shirt from him, that fits 60" chests. Granted, I am not that large, but even when i am down to 230, like I was at Pennsic, I still have a barrel chest and its around 50". So even at 288 with a 53" che...

Syrfinn

Ok, actually, must of looked at something different, cause looked in google, and found some effigies right away, that they think the gauntlets might be whalebone. Still curious on what material that folks use now adays that would be closest to weight for them. Thinking leather gauntlets like Torvald...

Syrfinn

Ok, have read several references to whalebone gauntlets, starting in the 13th century, before metal gauntlets became more prevelent. Has anyone seen any drawings or examples of them, and what materials do we use now adays would they be closest to, as far as weight. I read about a drawing, that showe...

Syrfinn

Lol, Dilan. Honestly, a lot of my feelings about madus, comes from where I grew up in the sca, which was Atlantia. I never even heard of a madu, till I moved to AEthelmearc, and then they were all over the place, due to Duke Christopher of York, who was outstanding with one, so everyone else thought...

Syrfinn

Will try and get some pics of new kit this coming weekend.

Will be a large departure for the ordinary for me. Though not sure new shield will be in or not, so might be using my old heater till new one gets here.

Syrfinn

These should be the war points, I believe. Everything else is additional tournaments and such.

I have a feeling after this year, shouldnt hear anyone complaining about not enough fighting.

Syrfinn

Yeah like the lamellar over the chain also. One reason I had gotten the chain from Ice, was for my early kit, gonna pick up another set of plates from Syr Theo at some point to do the same. Just makes it look really nice.

Syrfinn

Here is link to original selling of the helm, by me, with pics of it.

Does anyone know the person who bought the bascinet with the aventail that Deflagraito sold a few months ago. Unfort, the auction was victim to the crash, so cant find it. He had bought it off me last year, and thought about getting it back, but dropped out of the auction. Just curious if anyone rem...

Syrfinn

InsaneIrish, if your asking about the gentleman in the helm, in the link your asking who is this masked man. The one on the left in helm is Duke Cuan of Atlantia.

Syrfinn

<sigh> Note to self. Make sure next year my unit fights either *with* or against Atlantia, so I get to be in more pictures... JP Lol, yeah, after every Pennsic, I can normally find a few pics with me in them, from Ursus. But I find a lot of pics, that I recognize the unit next to mine in the shot, ...

Hmm, have heard the same thing from people who didnt understand our game.

Like when they hear how much I have spent on helms. :p

Syrfinn

I gave you websites.

At least for the welded.

Icefalcon - http://www.icefalcon.com/
Von Sussen - http://sussen.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/index.html

I'll let you look for prices. Way to many options and way to many prices.

Syrfinn

Couple of different sources out there for good chain. My current set is blackened stainless rivetted shirt. ( I hate rust) That I bought off of Icefalcon Armory My old shirt, which Duke Malcolm now wears I got from Von Sussen. For welded, which is usually about twice the price of the rivetted, you c...
