AFAIK, there is no difference between the two, and it seems to be a German thing. The term "Zishagge", I have never heard uttered from any Germans mouth. The Pappenheimer guard in Wallensteins times was ultra famous in Germany, including being featured in a play about Wallenstein, so I suppose this ...

First of all, thanks everybody! I think I will go with Sir Alfreds Aventail since it is on hand and he is the gracious person he is. Nevertheless, I steel need another Aventail for someone in my group, so I will try to get some deal as well. Bascot, I have the greaves valued at around 125 Euro, here...

Sebastian K

Thanks everybody, now I know what to ask for. Max, Ceawlin, Giles, Joram, I will keep you posted on progress and hopefully success.

For my new bascinet. I do not have enough cash on hand to buy a Master Knuut or Forth Castle one, but I do want to use that helmet. I have (in things that would not be killed by shipping from Europe, I ahve more stuff, but shipping is a killer). ~100$ in Paypal money 3 of those beautiful pennanular ...

Hi, I got the impression that most armourers here who work in Spring Steel use what is called in the US 1050 Steel. Does anybody know what DIN or ISO norm this corresponds to? Lacking that, does anybody have a composition and property list? My steel suppliers just shrug helplessly when I ask for 105...

Sebastian K

That was soooo funny! I love those translator programs. Giles, I will shoot you an email later, or you can call me on my mobile at +49-177-3258855 I can probably help you out. My steel supplier has taken a liking to me and I can usually get brass pieces for free or little money. I need to come into ...

Here is mine, I got it for free for my birthday

It is 120 kg, German type, nice ring and bounce to it. The date on it seems to be 1911

Hi, I am looking for some stuff to round out my 14th Century SCA kit. 1 pair of splinted rerebraces and vambraces w/floating stainless elbow cop. I would ask for curved splints in either aluminum or stainless on the inside of the leather. 1 pair of legs with splinted cuisse and 3 or 5 piece knees in...

Sorry guys,

the customer flaked out on me. He sounded very serious going into this project. I am sorry that I had you jumping through hoops on nothing. I hope the next time works out better.

Thanks

Sebastian

How about Knee, elbow and shoulder cops from Cet (Rough from the hammer). He won't have to use plastic the, and the hardest part of the limb defense is done. Polish them up in you workshop before giving them to hÃm.

Hi,

I am looking for Fiberglass arrows. Preffered with flights and nock, either with or without blunt. This is not for SCA, so no APD is crucially needed. Anybody have some left he does not want to use anymore or know a good inexpensive supplier?

Erich, I am still interested (flat out broke though, I just got shafted by a customer for 500 bucks, and I still am 350$ out for the bEverly shear bought from an Archiver that never arrived). If some extra money makes its way to me I will contact you ASAP. Meanwhile I will do your translations on Mo...

Sebastian K

I sold the Italian one to Pietro, though I may be perusaded to sell my own since I switched centuries. It has some slight surface rust but is in decent condition. Anybody who is interested pls. shoot me an email. Shipping in Europ is cheaper and faster, around 15 Euro and 3-5 days delivery.

Sebastian K

Back point or Center point, which do you prefer for SCA combat? Why? I am trying to make up my mind as both would be within the scope of my persona.

Thanks

Pietro, did you get my email? It seems to be bouncing of your providers filter.

Hal,

Morgan,

would you consider shiiping the Bascinet to Germany? I have a newbie in my shire who needs one. I could probably pay you Paypal or ask a friend to mail a money order.

First pair is spoken for. Second still available.

Woah... thanks guys, that's a lot of reading and advice. I should probably mention for those that do not know me that I am German, and I live in Germany, too. Chuck, do you want me to keep a lookout for you? If so, please email me with specs and price borders. I will gladly help you get an anvil lik...

http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/anvil.jpg I got a pic of it for my birthday, and I finally fot it this week. It is 100kg (220 pounds), two horns, two holes and rust. There is a stamp that says 1912, so assume it is somewhat older. I have lots of questions: Any advice on restoring it? What can I...

You are of course right in the historical meaning, and I should have made that clear, sorry for that. You will find no German alive today who will refer to a tank as "Panzerkampfwagen". Ever since its inception, tanks (armoured cavalry) have been called "Panzer", and nothing more, from the Tiger to ...

Sebastian K

All items located in Germany. Shipping on a single item around 30$, cheaper on multiples. If oyu want me to ship to someone stationed in Europe I can do so. I will accept barter, but I do prefer money. http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/salade1.jpg http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/salade2.jpg ht...

Since I do seem to have trouble with bouncing emails I will post the pics here: http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/salade1.jpg http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/salade2.jpg http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/salade3.jpg http://sebastian-kempkens.de/bilder/sallet1.jpg http://sebastian-kempkens.de...
