As I stated in the top of my post, you make me a reasonable offer, and the best offer by next Friday wins.

So make me an offer

Kilian_the_warlike

Still More stuff! Same as before, make me a reasonable offer, and the best offer on an item by Friday, Oct 12 wins! Buyer eats shipping. Will consider trades.

The mall ninja is strong in this one.

Its usually the fault of the armor being miss worn/miss proportioned. To my eye, modern reproduction sport placards, breastplates etc, are worn around practically right above the hips, where in period, the end much higher (as high as around the navel).

Kilian_the_warlike

I can see your problem is totally beyond fixing. I'll do you a favor and take them off your hands....

Kilian_the_warlike

Stupid question that could solve your vambrace problem: What kind of foundation garment are you wearing? A good chunk of armor problems that I have seen happen simply because or incorrect or lack of proper arming garments. Also: another stupid question: was the sized to fit you? An over long vambrac...

Kilian_the_warlike

Interested? HELL YES! Is it probable? Not really... Pros: Im 23 years old with 7 years in harness exp, in pretty good physical condition, and cross trained in several armed and unarmed martial arts. Cons: Armor would need to be advanced considerably, financial logistics -while possible- are much bet...

Kilian_the_warlike

Backplate is crappy Indian import.

The front... I'd hazard to say it looks like early CAS-Hanwei. Is it real thick?

Kilian_the_warlike

[sarcasm] Totally going to resell that pavillion without some recognizing it [/sarcasm]

Where the hell and who the hell to does the thief think he'd sell such a recognizable and niche item?

Kilian_the_warlike

Pics are a must once you have it and paint it up, Saritor!

Where are you located? I'll call third dibs.

Kilian_the_warlike

I've played with dag, and belgarth. Didn't much care for it, but everyone has their own game.

Kilian_the_warlike

Huh. Interesting.

Its for abusing everyone who can't afford it, is what it is!

That is what has made us the giant of the armoring world............... ...and the think tank of armor designers, and the fact that you cover everything from fencing to heavy to BotN gear, and the personal garauntees you put on everything, and the trading cards (still gotta get mine signed :wink:) ...

Is this in reference to Bokalo? As far as I have heard, he's been the kind of guy to just be two steps behind having product on your doorstep before you knew you needed it.

Kilian_the_warlike

Hot damn! Gorgeous. Love the lines.

Kilian_the_warlike

The arms appear to be some sort of bazuband from the picture. Though I cannot guarantee it, they do not appear to provide adequate coverage over the elbow. If you can post a picture from another angle, you may prove me wrong. The leg armour seems to be something often called a "shovel greave" (kind...

Looks like Indian Import armor I've unfortunately seen this stuff in person, and I can tell you right now, its useless for our game, and is purely costume/LARP stuff. its 1mm thick, variable magnese steel... Basically 19 gauge tissue paper that will rust if you look at it funny. I do appreciate tha...

I would make an offer with what little money I can scrape together, but it would be a great insult to the helm.

Checky is a fairly common Atlantian thing.

I know. But now I have to take pics of Duke Valhalric, Gwain and a few others and make an add for formula 1 viking racing

Its a stretch of 100 years, so i didnt want to change the focus too much.

Helmets like that make me regret shifting from V10th to 15thC ....

110 types of sexy right there! Best of luck!

Kilian_the_warlike

Is that a bargrilled helm? Thats awesome! Obviously, there are alot of folks with aventailed kettle helms, but you're really has the "right" profile. The false chinstrap really adds to the look too.

Kilian_the_warlike

Well, ain't that a trip? Love the hilt!

Kilian_the_warlike

You know, on this note (not trying to derail!), what would the Greeks have worn in the 15thC? would they have been using continental styles, or still using older local styles?

Kilian_the_warlike

Get some thick, 100% wool miliatry surplus or moving blankets, and an old pair of rubber bottomed shoes like trainers or sneakers. Lightly spray the blankets with a water mister/spray bottle and throw the whole lot in a tumble dryer for a few hours on low. Crongrats, you'll have felted wool! cut to ...
