Can't man....or I would. It's not that I need a helm, I just got boned by a crooked car repair guy for a bunch of stuff that wasn't needed. Lucky for me, I got suspicious and took my car to another place that finished what WAS broke and told me I got screwed on the rest. That means I'm f*cked out of...

Saddle spoken for.

I haven't heard back about 3 helms that people I know want for this season.
I've told them they are better off getting the kettle's from Adam he has in stock ATM and they will have better resale later as well if they do get bascinets w/visors later.

Leo Medii

PM answered. It's yours if you want it, with stirrups and girth for $75 additional!

Leo Medii

Yep, was going to get it blued and the cross changed to brass.

Need wheels more than stuff......bummer cause it looks sweet with my TI hauberk.

Leo Medii

Guess I should have put that!

I have a 48 inch chest. 36 waist, it will size up and down 4", and it is stainless. 14 G.
Includes the $50 worth of anshelm buckles too!

For Sale. White Mountain Armory made. Used about 6 times for period battle's like the Crusader battle. Car repair forces sale of this awesome helm. I love it, but I need to drive more.

Last of my saddles is up for sale. Was going to keep one, but a very ill-timed car issue compounded by being swindled by a crooked car repair place (K+M Auto in Milford MI) out of $400 for a repair I didn't need, and then not fixing the actual problem that required more cash I have to let it go and ...

Selling a Kabuto that I originally picked up for my secondary Japanese harness. I got a different one that matched my equipment better, and had a face on it (which I prefer). Asking $395.00 and exact shipping to the location. Will include about 50 Noble Plastic Kozane that came with the helm. It has...

PS: Did you get my last PM?

Checking. You can email me too!

Also....I hit light....I want to hit people hard! They always say light!

Leo Medii

This thread makes me all warm inside.

i sent them an email last night via ebay abou tone of their auctions. i got a response this morning.

Thanks, I know I'm going to try this route then. I got one guy who's emailed 10+ times since Jan and hasn't heard back about a helm.

Elbows under the maille.

Period 11th C belt.

You are already doing the rest, and look pretty good there!

Leo Medii

Some food for thought? What happens when you start to win. When fear of loss no longer drives you? Each day should be a battle against the self, not others. You are your harshest master, and you are your harshest judge. The best martial artists are not those that judge themselves on what others thin...

Nothing like a 1,500 miles and a keyboard to make everyone into Rambo.

Leo Medii

The thought that a legal target would be considered poor form by martial students is something that boggles my mind. The thought that entire schools of study may rely on a legal target being poor form is 10X that boggling. If I don't want something hit, I move it, or block it. To expect my opponent ...

I must fight for the Daimyo.

White.

Leo Medii

These are reasons, not excuses for my poor performance. In the end it was my fault. THere is your answer. I fight regularly with another "zen"fighter, Duke Rangvaldr. Our fights are LOOOOONG and usually only are a few quick and placed shots. The funny thing about it when we lose is we bot...

As for Musashi, there was a recent bio of him that contains ALL his writings, as well as tons of other commentary by famous Kendoists- it's amazing. Where might one find this book? I prefer the direct translations since I am not yet fluent in japanese, that way if I understand it fine, or I don't, ...

Leo Medii

Nice! Is it suspended away from your face? By a padded chin strap that I rigged to fit into the cup on the mempo. The entire harness was less than $400 bargain shopping. I was able to cover the entire thing by selling one of my 14th C pieces so I could fight in the Samurai battle at Pennsic. I have...

Leo Medii

I would like to participate.

Leo Medii

It's a mash of plastic, a kabuto I got off eBay, some kendo stuff and my wisby guantlets from my Norman kit, a pair of tabi from eBay and some cast bronze tsuba's my wife and I made. It was put together for this event, and as a temporary harness till I can finish lacing a far more elaborate one for ...

Leo Medii

No one. I'm having to make all of mine.

the Kabuto is the tough part. If you see one, grab it if you want to do Japanese.

Leo Medii

No, God did.

Used my secondary harness for the first time last weekend.

In my experience, a person with the most historical kit, the most beautiful armor, the most magnificent weapons and steed that is an asshole is, in the end, still an asshole. On the internet everyone is gangsta tough...... Lucky for some people jet fuel is getting too expensive..na na na...

I think I start showing up in episodes around Episode 4 or 5.

That's OK. But Obi Wan is OLD then.

Leo Medii

Hey, is steel mastery's email down?

I had a couple of guys that wanted to order helmets barking at me that their email's haven't been returned?

Leo Medii

He not speak Caveman?

Leo Medii

If you have the skills to make the saddle I would suggest that and sell it. You'll get a lot for a Norman one that's done if you have the time and ability to make it.

I've seen the trees alone with no leather go pretty cheap on eBay and the ACW forums.

Leo Medii

I love this fight so much I decided that my armor and accoutraments would be FROM that battle.

So, 1351 it is. 1401 minus 50.
