I am looking for places that sale swords that are meant for live steel combat and also reviews of them. We are looking into starting a partially live steel group. We don't want to end up with sharpened swords or swords that will break the first few times we smack 2 together. Note: The least painful ...

Edric

I would suggest painting it instead. Most places use the sunforger canvas and I am not sure if the dye would take well after the treatment, not to mention you might cause a nasty chemical reaction. I'm not sure what totally soaking the tent in water would do to the treatment either. You might ask th...

Edric

Well sorta, When you look at this tent, and then at a wall tent, you notice a few differences. First a wall tent's walls are much shorter. The tent in the illumination looks like the walls are pretty much as tall as the back of the horse, which would be somewhere around 4' tall. If you look at wall ...

It's just the shading in the drawing, the arms are full steel.

Ok this is what I found. The guy in the illustration I was thinking of had a kettle hat style helmet and what looked like a mail coif. He had a frontal bevor covering his neck and scale hanging from that. I'll try to get it scanned in at work tomorrow. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@...

Edric

Hum, one of the pics doesn't seem to have gotten to my website. Anyhoo.. Russ- First let me say I have no idea what a pukelhelm is. Second I have seen this type of visor on all varieties of bascinets in illuminations in late 14th-early 15th century from just about every area Western-Central Europe. ...

Edric

Raibeart- This is actually a project I have been planning for quite awhile now, and am actually finally close to starting it. Here are some illustrations I scanned in from a book that were taken from illuminations of the late 14th century early 15th century, mainly Bohemia, since this book was aimed...

Edric

Good point Krag, I'll bring that up on the list. Yahoo groups is down it seems, no wonder I haven't recieved the messages I sent to the groups. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www.edricsrose.com Flos est puellarum, quam diligio, et rosa rosarum, quam sepe video. ...

Edric

First let me say that helm is beautiful and I am by no means degrading that mask... But I think that scale really sets the thing off. I am planning on making a scale aventail for my bascinet for that very reason. What size are the scales? ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com...

Edric

Before I start let me say I prefer the 14th century also. I however I can slide my time period to be able to work with a more period group. I do not see how you can say how backwards the 13th century is backward compared to the 14th. In the 14th century: Europe experienced a famine, the black death,...

Edric

Ok I finally got around to taking some pics of those points. They aren't perfectly clear but you get a good idea. They are linen cord waxed with beeswax and the ends are brass cones, tightly twisted to the ends and then crimped on both ends with some needle nose pliars. I'm thinking $.50 each if I m...

For the folks in Texas.. There is a new email group concering the formation of a new group. It will focus on authenticity and a period in the late 13th century. Most everything else is pretty much up in the air at this point although the owner of the list has some ideas of where it is headed. Signup...

Edric

I MIGHT be interested in 20 ga stainless also. I'm thinking 1"X1.5". Not sure how many the project will take me and that is a big indicator how much I'd be willing to pay. I think something around $.50 would be ok, but I am thinking I would need to many to be able to afford it. ------------------ --...

Yes

I'm so excited!! This is my new visor by Patrick Thaden. It is raised and not welded. The helm is and anshelm bascinet I bought off ebay about 6 months ago.
