I am curious which Coast this fighter was from. I know Midwest and East Coast, frown on intentional cupshots. I want to say, and this is very old info, that those on the West Coast, though some might not like them, its not something necessarily frowned on out there. Like I said though, thats old inf...

Syrfinn

Yeah others have told me that also, so gonna end up getting it anyways. Maybe i will start to learn German also. :)

Syrfinn

Coming from you, Matthew, that means a lot. :) Right now have several books doing my research on. Susanna Shadrake - The World of the Gladiator Philip Matyszak - Gladiator - The Roman Fighter's Unofficial Manual Osprey - Gladiators 100BC - 200AD I wish I spoke German so I could read Junkelmann, Marc...

Are you still interested in this, MJ. I took down the ebay auction cause I didnt want anyone to buy it last night.

Thanks

Syrfinn

No problem, MJ. I can easily do that. I actually have it already boxed up and ready to go. Will pm you my paypal info, and just send me the shipping info, and I will get it out in the mail tomorrow after you send me payment.

Thanks

Last War Update - Heavy East won all 3 Field Battles. With folks already packing up and such, both sides took hits on thier numbers, but Middle took a few more. Middle and her allies fought hard and strong, but just couldnt overcome the numbers advantage, not sure anyone would of. Fighting overall f...

War Update - Heavy Bridge Battles - East won 2-1, Middle won the 2nd set of Bridges, East took the first and last set. To be honest for me, this was the worst battle of the war, but that was mainly due to a lot of spear dueling for 20 min, then 10 min of actual fighting. Was still ok, but was defini...

Yeah, I had plans to do a better paint job after Pennsic, but well only had 4 days so just did a quick one. But well got a Provocateur helm from a friend at pennsic, so going away from the Greek kit to a Gladiator kit.

But has been fun playing with it at Pennsic.

Syrfinn

Unfort already have one, Titus. Sorry

Syrfinn

Got this at Pennsic, had to cut it from a Windrose Celtic style shield, so has been fought with 4 days. It is 36" long and 24" wide at its wide points. Bought it for $90, will let it go for $70. I think last time I shipped a shield it was like $20 or $25. So will just call it an even $20 f...

Syrfinn

Here is actually my new helmet for this personna. Helm based off of the Provocateur style. I believe there is evidence out there, that not all gladiators were slaves and that several were citizens and such, either on hard times so sign 5 year contracts or well just wanted to be a gladiator. Will try...

Syrfinn

I pm'ed you back. You have first dibs as of now. But I only deal with Paypal.

Syrfinn

Widest part of sole - 4"
Tip to Heel - 12.5"

Syrfinn

Yep, size 11.

Syrfinn

Bought these when I was doing my 13th cent kit, but never wore them. I actually had to get them out of the plastic bag he shipped them in to take the pic. I believe I bought these for like $57, will let them go for $45 plus $8 shipping in US, if overseas will figure out shipping for you. I only deal...

War Update - Heavy East won the Woods Battle. Middle and her allies fought with the heart of warriors. But with how that woods is layed out, and the East having a few more folks, if you can break the line at the beginning, you can slowly just push them back to their res point. Happened to us last ye...

Syrfinn

Dropping this to $200, its as low as I can go on it. Not changing the Ebay price though. But sold something else, so can drop this a little here. If I can sell it, it will cover the rest of the helm I am getting.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Just friendly little bump. Also put this up on Ebay, but with start price of $250 and Buy Out of $300.

Will still sale this on the Archive for $200, though. Just wanted to get this out to more people, and well Ebay charges like 10% for sales it seems now adays, so upped it for that reason.

Syrfinn

Its rained off and on, but for the fighting it has actually been excellent. Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the week, and wasnt bad at all, as long as sun stayed behind the clouds.

Syrfinn

War Update - Heavy East took all 3 banners of the Valley Res Battle, and I believe at all the check points had possession of them. Numbers definetly played a part in this battle, no idea how many East outnumbered Middle, and I also dont know how bad Middle had on attrition during the 90 min battle. ...

Syrfinn

Hi folks, just bought this from Cadfael, and its a great helm, just not feeling the Greek thing, but have a line on another helm I would like to get so need to sell this one. I wont be able to ship it till this coming Saturday, due to Pennsic. I could possibly ship it Wednesday if need be if it sold...

Syrfinn

War Update Heavy Points - I dont know any of the others Middle took the Heroic Battle 3-2, East took the Belted and Unbelted points. Heroic fights were very cool to watch. I didnt recognize all the combatants unfort, and didnt hear all of their names clearly. I knew the Eastern names, but didnt reco...

Syrfinn

Sounds great, looking forward to seeing some of your guys stuff together.

Syrfinn

Well not sure if this is your first Pennsic, but there is no fighting in camps. But from where your at, I'm familiar with it, I used to camp at Strawberry Fields with his Grace Michael. Just go up to the field near the Marshals Tent. They have a corner up ther at the top blocked off with haybales fo...

Syrfinn

I get a laugh out of it from the crowd, but since my divorce a few years ago, when they say Salute the One who Inspires you this Day, I give myself a hug.

Syrfinn

I normally come home each day after fighting to get cleaned up, and go back out to hang out and stuff. I will try and sit down when I get home, before I go back up and let folks know how the Heavy Battles went for the day.

Syrfinn

Works fine. Thanks. Just let me know shipping address so I can add in shipping, will have them boxed up and ready to ship on Monday.

Syrfinn

I will just answer both your pm's here.

Yes I do take Paypal, and actually prefer it, I just forgot to mention that in the original post.

Syrfinn

Hi folks, have these around and well taking up space. The knees are from Bokalo and are $40 new, I believe I have wore them 3 times. The cuisses are from Therion and are $45 new, have worn a few times and have grass stains and the markings from the leather pad that was where the knee was. Would like...

Syrfinn

Got helm today, awesome quick shipping. Thanks Cad looking forward to using it at Pennsic.
