Yeah, I meant Antonio. Sorry!

Kilian_the_warlike

I match Raulin's $50, with the counter that I don't need shipping.

Failing that, bump to $55.

Kilian_the_warlike

Any chance of pics from both you gents?

Like I said, I am sure I can find an event or practice to use as an excuse to come visit my northernly Atlantian cousins. That is half the fun! I'll keep that shipping quote in mind just in case though. Like the Northern Army practice in Ponte Alto this Sunday even! I want to, and was talking to so...

Oh! Funfact: Properly quilted/padded, a 15thC jack is usually also legal for light lists and cut-and-thrust too!

So she is wearing a conservative German arming doublet without breastplate... and fairly legit leg and helmet. So how would you make a doublet look that awesome and be legit for rattan combat? Some kind of under-armor? PVC plates? This kit looks freaking sweet. *Edit In* And it looks somewhat easy ...

Hey folks Working on a little side project on making an early, functional small sword, and now I need the blade. I am looking for a diamond cross section schlauger blade that has at least 22-26 inches of unbent blade, not counting the tang. I plan to grind a point on it, and use it as a dress piece ...

+1, but I will give it that it looks like a newbie attempt to take a generic bucket helm, and some black pickle barrel and make something that looks better at a distance than a generic bucket helm and pickle barrel.

Better than a samurai in a spangen helm with combat boots.

I'll call dibs and throw $45 on the gaunts to start, pending on some rough sizes. I am in Williamsburg, so I am sure I can find an event or some reason to come up and get them.

Kilian_the_warlike

I am 23, been fighting armored for 8 years, getting myself into shape and missing a damn good bit of feeling on the right side of my body from years of working as a bouncer and doing martial arts. Problem is, while I am totally reworking my kit for accuracy and function, funding such an undertaking ...

You could say the it is Live Action Role Playing, yes.

In the NC17, Hentai sort of way.

Just clearly mark your thrusting tips...

Kilian_the_warlike

Do you really want a that vampire and his pirate wench thinking that boffing by the horse trailer would be 'sooo keeewllll!'? Please tell me you are implying that they are LARPing. Remember now, this is the event that had people registering 'service ferrets' ( I am not making that up ) If not for t...

Adelaisa, my dibs were for this one, but my head is 23.5", so I have to pass ;_;. I have been looking for a low price 15th century helm that actually has the right lines for freaking ever, and damnit, This one is just too small... BUY THIS. The price is insane. Also, just my .02 cents: I was going t...

Didnt know this thread existed. Posted potential dibs and questions in spagen thread

Two questions!

1: Is the nasal only affixed with the rivet, or is it welded to the grill? I like the helm, but Not a huge fan of the nasal

2: Got a rough size for it?

Edit: Guess I put my PM in the wrong window... Welp, tenative dibs then?

Kilian_the_warlike

PM about the Barbute

Kilian_the_warlike

Price on the help? Can you get an internal diameter measurment without padding?

Kilian_the_warlike

Fancy, but functional. How'd they do the gold colored pieces? Brass plated or heat colored? Plated, brass or gold, most likely. Its gold plated. These guys are not actually doing any contact fighting with this stuff modernly. Gilded, brass plated and solid brass were all used in period for such acc...

Here are some pics of reenactors reenacting reenactors reenacting! ENJOY!

Kilian_the_warlike

This isn't fantasy armor: Its period correct 15th century "psuedo correct SCAdianism" on Roman/Greek antiquity armor. Basically, styling armor with peturges, brass maille, brigandines to simulate musculata and lots of animal/human motifs. This is also my shameless goal. I want to be an reenactor, re...

Kilian_the_warlike

Thanks Logan! Didn't even think of it.

Kilian_the_warlike

Bump. I'll easily pay $12 a piece for these soon!

Kilian_the_warlike

Hey folks!

Just like the title says: I need 2 or 3, 1.25" diameter rattan dowels, between 38" and 40" long, preferable from someone here in VA, as I need them sooner than they could be shipped, and don't need enough to make the shipping worth it.

In service,
Kilian.

Hello! Welcome to the archive!

I am currious about your leg padding https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 0965_n.jpg

Whats are the sizing options? What is the average cost of shipping to the US?

Thanks again

You can't beat HE for good 15th century clothes, unless you have someone custom make them for you.

I would also buy every one of his daughter's boxes of cookies, and consider the book of mormon.

linen shirt. I like the shirt as seen in various Della Fracesca paintings, for simplicity and accuracy.

Historic Enterprises sells them http://historicenterprises.com/shirt-ti ... ath=99_109

Kilian_the_warlike

What kind of metal? Mild? Stainless?

Kilian_the_warlike

Good news everyone! 1: My associate is finally going to scan those pictures for me. 2: I have gotten into email contact with Nidar Singh Nihang, the last Shastar Vidiya master, who might be able to shed some light on the weapon's origins! http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Screwloose_circus/Sh...
