Thoughts go out to your sister, jackie. Hope she comes out ok.

Syrfinn

Sold, Payment Recieved and post office was open till 4:30, so just shipped off also.

Syrfinn

Sent back pm, like I said, had always heard shipping was a lot going between US and Canada, didnt realize that much. Just let me know if you want it.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Hi folks, just bought this off Garreth, 2 days after I bought it, one of my best friends who I had sold my old flat top helm to, offered it back to me, since he knew I was looking to get another. So well dont need this one now. Just picked this up from post office and only thing I have done was take...

Syrfinn

I guess it's because I always fought with two elbows, regardless of shield or lack thereof, where I just don't understand what the issue is. Does it _really_ interefere with your fighting style that badly to have a low profile elbow behind your shield? (honest question). To answer your question, Ma...

Syrfinn

Had always had a wolf in my device, but had gone on a few different variations. Then while studing native american beliefs and going on my first vision quest high up in the appalachian mountains for 4 days, which going by yourself, isnt always the best idea. :p 3 wolves was something I came away wit...

Syrfinn

Very nice looking Jackie, impressive.

Syrfinn

Thing I see right off the bat, is your fighting all arm, and using your shoulders and hips and feet very little. Like Gunthar said also, your reaching with your shots so looks like your just out of your comfort range.

Granted, this is just watching a vid, but thats what I am seeing.

Syrfinn

Will take a look when I get home Maelgwyn, and give my thoughts.

Syrfinn

Either way is fine, to be honest. I guess my question would be, which is easier. With the price you guys are looking at selling these at, I would go that route. Its probably either or, if I think about it. Either doing some rivets for the 2 halfs, but less clean up, or do welding and have the cleanup.

Syrfinn

I agree with Corby. Nose a little further out and top band a little thicker since its going to take the most abuse. My flattop I got from Shamrock was 12GA at top to take the abuse.

Price is very good.

Syrfinn

Better to laugh than cry. Will keep an eye out for it on ebay, and heck will even keep an eye out for it on Craigslist here in pittsburgh. I know its a little bit of distance, but well its not that far and have seen it in the past.

Syrfinn

Awesome helm, someone will be happy to get it.

Syrfinn

Yeah like others have said, stay away from Performance. Have had a few friends buy stuff from them. 1. It took way longer than promised. 2. What was finally delivered after many months of harrassing them to give them updates, was basically built like crap and I would feel safe wearing the item.

Syrfinn

Sent ya a pm, Garreth. If you take Paypal, I will buy it. I need a beater helm while I am on my hiatus from SCA, but still want to practice, and well right now dont have a helm.

Syrfinn

Honestly, only thing I care about with who wins this list, is that they keep the same War Command structure for this upcoming Pennsic. Other than that, they are all good folk and would do well on the throne. I always find it amazing, how so many kingdoms switch out Warlords for war season every year...

Syrfinn

Yep, Jackies good people, will have him make my helm when I come back. I think it will be my 3rd or 4th from him.

Syrfinn

Bah, had just done a brief look at the list. Yeah, Alric can definitely ruin some peoples day, he is definitely someone I would not be surprised if I saw his name announced later in the day as of winning.

Syrfinn

Dont count out Gabriel either. If I was a betting man, I would say the 4 Dukes in the semis, they are just a step above the rest, guess thats why they are Dukes, and Marcus showed what he could do last Crown. For dark horses, though really not that big of a stretch, would say Gabriel, Tindal and Mic...

Syrfinn

Sold pending payment from Agmuntr.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Agmuntr, I am pretty sure it would fit you fine, specially if you use open cell foam like I have in it now. If you get it, if you would like, I can leave the padding I have in it to give you a feel or just to use, will leave the chinstrap setup also in it. As far as shipping, I am charging a flat $2...

Syrfinn

Hi folks, bought this at Pennsic from a friend who was going a different route. I thought it would be fun to go this route for a bit. But well to be honest, I'm stepping away from SCA for a bit. If I come back, it will be going in a different direction, so going to sell it to someone who will have a...

Syrfinn

When I needed a helm modified, I talked to Jackie at Shamrock, since I couldnt get anyone else to take on the job and he offered. He has had me as a loyal customer since.

Syrfinn

For my gladiator kit, I use a 32" with a thrusting tip. It took me years though to finally put one on my sword and actually this past year had taken them off. But just put one back on for the new kit.

Syrfinn

This inspection should be fine, its a brand new car, so its first inspection since I bought it. But yeah in past you get those lovely surprises of things you have to fix.

Syrfinn

Bah that bites, but yeah, after I posted I was planning on being there, I remembered my inspection is up on the car this month, so need to take care of it.

Syrfinn

My Provocator Gladiator Kit. Granted had to make some adjustments for SCA, and well not going to fight barechested. I still need to make the breastplate part, plus maybe a slightly different shield. Not much of a change, maybe just 20x30, instead of what it is right now, which is 18" at top and...

My favorite moment of the war, was giving up my Champion Spot to Duke Marcus, since this war season I have been doing shoulder rehab, so had barely been fighting other than pell work, and he had been fighting a lot this season. Then having the Tuchux's offer me one of their spots, since they had two...

Syrfinn

The Tuchux. They had a bunch of new dogs this year and from what I could tell their entire unit stayed together well hit hard, hit fast and kept moving. A couple of the new dogs it appeared to not understand some of the rules but they were quickly straitened out by the rest of the tribe Tuchux alwa...

Syrfinn

True, but still thinking about it.

Just trying to decide do I want to go to this, or Master Wulfgar's event with Duke Malcolm on the 10th, in the East.

Syrfinn

I'm actually seriously thinking of coming down for this. I think its only like 5.5 hours from me, so not that big of a trip. I have to work Monday, but can still probably get in the Sunday Bearpit then jump in the car and get home. :p

Syrfinn

Getting my Provocator helm from Count Robin on Tuesday, taking Wednesday off to go home and pad it and strap it, and also put together my old small scutum shield and then fighting in it Thursday and Friday. I loved the comments from folks that they were used to me changing personnas from year to the...

Syrfinn

I use the Punching Bob punching bag. I wish I had the one with the shorts though. I have it filled about half way with sand, so it has a nice rock to it, but still stays in place well.
