Wow, thanks for posting.

My dog woke up barking and ran towards the front door at two am last night. Think I had reason to take along my pistol to check? I think you need to realize not all of us live in safe, gun free cities. And those that live in statistically safer places still need to be able to defend themselves for ...

no, not a tool: a toy. people gets angry when they have their toys taken away. Just try to take them away,& you will find out which is which. Holy cow! Personal attacks and death threats in rd 2! That wasn't even a flame worthy comment! Honestly, how many of you expect to be attacked any minute...

Depending on how quick you need them, you should try armstreet. He's having a sale on his now. m I've ordered a pair with just a few mods and was still reasonable. I'd be leery of the construction. The lames appear to be riveted to strips of leather, which is less secure than metal-to-metal articul...

I did the same, just didn't get to an actual review.

Great product and fantastic service.

Ain't that the truth! You can't swing a dead cat without hitting three or four of us! LOL

In no way is this a bad thing.

I like the look of the helm very much, allowing for the bargrill Regarding the slats in back, there's more of an issue there than an overly large opening. A second strap lower down will deal with this issue as well. The thing I see is that each of those slats is a long lever with insufficient suppo...

Oh dammit, I am so tempted to snatch this up.......I put off buying my shotgun to get the handgun I wanted, I'm supposed to go to a gun show this sunday and look at more shotguns.....gggrrrrrrrrr. I'll let a few others have a crack at it before I go nuts by not having it. Benedek, listen, this insa...

Yep, I just order a thrusting tip variety pack and some rattan last week. Great prices, fantastic communication, and a high quality product. I order on a Saturday, had the thrusters on Tuesday and the Rattan on Thursday. 5's all the way around on your own scale F. You'd do well to swing by his booth.

I think you already know about my photoset from Istanbul. I know there are lots of buckles and other clasps on the various armour bits. m For example, this mid 15th century maille & plates shirt has some interesting closures on the front: m This one has some neat cast buckle mounts (and you can...

Oh my...

You just made my night.

Holy shit! Without start a huge row (i'm not anti gun) why does a private citizen "need" an assault rifle? Just wondering..... (Seriously be kind i'm only asking! ) Because we can. Why does anyone need a knife? Or a baseball bat? So they can cook? Or play baseball? Both of which might als...

Because we can.

Why does anyone need a knife? Or a baseball bat?

Benedek

Those are great pics.

I will have to see if I can re-size them to take a better peek at the buckles and clasps.

Benedek

I don't know that I will ever be as cool as you James.

Those are fantastic.

Benedek

As it says, I'm in search of pics of Ottoman hardware, buckles, clasps, belt fittings etc. I think I may try my hand pewter and/or brass casting soon (if time allows), and I would like to start with things that will spruce up my new kit and take it to that next level. I've got a blackened riveted ma...

What I am doing with my new set when they get here is just wear padded gloves and put the gaunts on over them.

I may put some tabs in to sew the glove to but am undecided.

I just ordered these gaunts.

and a pair of padded gloves from westland.

Mine was meant in jest as well.

I don't really need this helmet, I do have another custom one on the way, but for the price being offered I thought I would toss my hat in the ring.

I truly do hope you can win the auction if this is what you are needing.

Benedek

Just went through the copy of the book I recommended to you (Splendors of the Ottoman Sultans) - the only book I have with me at my current residence - and the three examples are 26.75", and the other two are 27 inches. As soon as I can get to a scanner, I'll post images. It's much appreciated...

It's all good, I've got another custom one coming my way soon. I thought this would be a good backup and/or loaner armour.

I will yield to your bid, graciously.

but secretly hoping you get out bid.

Benedek

I guess I could throw another question in for the educated folks here. Do we have an estimate on how long these things should be? At least a window to work within. I know it's going to be an SCA project weapon but I'd like to make an attempt at doing one right. I've started on a crazy idea on how to...

I'll go $55, and I'll hope noone outbids me,

bumperoo!!!!!

Guess I will go $45

You do realize at the 14 second mark, your pull-ups appear to be very disturbing.

BTW I can't find the other video of you on the scooter HA HA.

Benedek

I'll go in for $50

Jackie, not a problem in the least. Hiccups happen, and if your prior reputation is any indicator I don't think any of the customers will mind. Including myself.

So far throughout our transaction I've had no quarrels, keep up the good work.

Need images of Ottoman Turk hardware.
