Could you please post some measurements?

Gethin

Sadly, though, the feast is sold out.

Gethin

I think that this is what you are after.

I am interested in a large brig gorget.

You may remember that almost three years I posted an invitation and challenge to Josh in regards to La Prova Dura. I had invited him to come and be part of the event so that he could make an informed decision about it. My challenge was for him to accept the invitation, which Josh did. In the interve...

Gethin

Your grace,
Will you offer byrnies and other lengths, or just what is shown on the website?
Thank you.

Norman Y. Mineta (San Jose) International Airport is the closest, aprox. 45 minutes from the event site. Monterey Airport is about 1 hour south(not a major airport). Then there are San Francisco and Oakland Interrnational Airports, aprox. 1.5 hours north

The context of this picture is that of a bridge battle. The sides of the bridge are denoted by the wooden 1x2 seen in the lower right corner of the picture. Merlin is stepping up to serve a tasty meal of whup ass a la nebularum to myself and my compatriots.

Then there is that Sexy Bastage-Ugo.

I found this in my email today... "Unto the combatants and Champions of the Known World does Mari Alexander, Queen of the West send Greetings! We announce this day that We will take the field at Prova Dura and will meet with all in joyful combat. It does Us great honor to invite all those acros...

I would suggest not using a shield at the barrier.
There are many reasons against such a practice, but I will mention only this: It will take quite a while to achieve 8 good blows.
I wish you well in your endeavors

The Canton of Battle Rock (Okinawa) is listed as dormant in the most recent issue of the newsletter for the Kingdom of the West. It lists baronyofarwest at yahoo dot com as the contact point. I would guess that you would be getting people from the greater Tokyo area. I would think that if you contac...

What qualifies as "Evil Duke Music"? "Another One Bites The Dust"? "Hammer to Fall"? "Thunderstruck"? "I've Got Big Balls"? I would have thought Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls", if for no other reason than this line: "Take a loo...

Vasilii, If you check the Society Mashals' hand book page 12 section I (sorry I could not cut and paste), you will find two subsections. The first states that shields will be engineered to minimize damage to rattan weapons. The second requires that projections more than 3/8 of inch be padded. Bosses...

There is also putting a "liner" up. Supposedly, a second layer of fabric will keep the shadow shows away.

Gethin

My apologies for a business question, but I could not find this information on the websit.
What are the general rates for artwork on a shield?

Gethin

Now I'm curious, does anyone currently use horse hair as a means of padding their liners? I have a liner with horse hair, made in the manner that Brian Price describes. It is working out so far. When I first installed it, it needed some time to conform to my head, which took about three practices. ...

Hi all,
I am trying to remember which war holds a baronial champions' tourney.
I thought that it might be Lillies, but I could not find anything on the website. I would appreciate any help, and would be especially grateful for links.
Thank you.

Gethin

Nice helmet. I'd try and do something a little more period looking. It's where most WMA groups are pointed in my experience. Nice idea though! Actually, this looks lot like what Brian Price was working on for Schola St. George. I don not recall the specs for it, but the shape is almost dead on. Mat...

If you are seeking each other out, as a huntsman seeks to flush out his prey, perhaps you should look to Hubert, a knightly saint who saw a vision of the Cross while hunting (you can see a depiction of his vision on the label of Jaegermeister). Another worthy saint would be Maurice, who led a christ...

Let me second the suggestion of using 14 gauge. It is quite possible that you could recieve a severe dent the first time you wear it!

Gethin

Sir Angus, I am unsure as to what you think these individuals are trying to represent. Do you think that the equipment is representative of a mounted tourney/joust and that what should be presented would be for an unmounted tourney? Or is it that these individuals wear what a mounted combatant of th...

Your email address has been forwarded to her.

what size is it? Medium does not really give a good idea what what size head it fits. Taken from Luthers' Web site: "Sizing Measure the circumference of your head at eyebrow level and behind the ears, Using the same line, measure diameter front-to-back and side-to-side and distance from center of t...

I am confused- there is a special calibration for Crown or Coronet tournaments? Gethin does not say this anywhere in his post. He does say that the organizers recognize and attempt to address two elements -- Crown has a high concentration of upper-level fighters, and it includes a level of "pressur...

Gethin

While this discussion is a very good one and has had some excellent points made, I would like to point out a small error. Sir Vitus, The tourney that honors Bertrand du Guesclin does not differ from a Crown or Coronet tournement, as far as calibration is concerned, as fought in the West. That was th...

Have a look at this discussion

I would be interested as well.

Howdy,
Do you still have the Franciscan and what would shipping to 95014 cost?
Thanks!

O.K.- First off, I do not know any of the parties involved, just wanted to point put something... Julian, I understand what you are feeling, as I have been jerked by three armorers. $250 is a good amount of money and not hearing anything from the armorer is irritating, to say the least. However, no ...
