second dibs on the shoes, if it falls through for some weird reason

Kilian_the_warlike

Then I will eat crow and appologize, but having dealt with numerous "smiths" who's metal work is entirely a few minutes with a grider to the "made in china" imprint, I tend to expect the worse.

Love the back and sides... I think that front plate can take a .38 point blank....Maybe u should get an authentic blackpowder gun and fire into it to leave the 'proof' mark, so often left on later period breast plates to prove they can take musket fire....lol But seriously, if i had money i would b...

I know I'm not the only one thinking it, but i'm gonna just say it: Your site looks like ass, and sets off a lot of obvious warning signs that its a scam site. I hold my doubts that you designed anything past those rather poor profile puppets. Google reverse image search isn't doing you any favors h...

Great kit, and sweet jesus do those low-profile spears look so much better! It would be a shame to have suc...

You're not the only one! And just as I posted this, I got a third

Kilian_the_warlike

Wish I had the money, thats a gorgeous helm, and what im looking for

Kilian_the_warlike

Seeing as I have two people so far who have asked the same question;

I live in Williamsburg VA. When they say "accepted in Williamsburg VA" that means that it was given from the post office to the truck.

Don't worry, everyone has gotten what they ordered

Kilian_the_warlike

sorry it took me so long! Been crazy at work! PMing tracking numbers now!

Kilian_the_warlike

Just left the post office, will send everyone their tracking numbers when I get to a comp,

Thanks again!

Either a blubber splade , an South African war-mattock, some piece of farm equipment.

Kilian_the_warlike

Goddamn. Im gonna sound like a dork, but this is an item that is to be found during a great quest, or as reward for mighty deeds. As Balkr said, epic is the right word for it, and I don't use it lightly.

Kilian_the_warlike

Just made the opening bid!

Can't be Khorne. Its a pile of crap for Nurgle, and only a glutton for gaudy and eye-bleedingly designed armour would wear it, thus Slaanesh.

Kilian_the_warlike

Wow. Really? Live and learn!

Kilian_the_warlike

I hope not! These are going to be a gift to my mother if I'm lucky!

EDIT: Not that I don't wish you luck in getting near the value of these dishes, of course

Kilian_the_warlike

As a side note, what's the provenance of that piece? Looks like it's a Phillipine Moro mail and plates using buffalo horn for the plates. I have it in my computer as 16th century Spanish from the Royal Armoury, and the plates are gilded bronze. The outer plates are shiny, but if you look in the nec...

Kilian_the_warlike

Just my two cents, but I have also read of small armours of scale, maille and maille/plate being refered to as corsellets, and that they were popular in Greece and Italy in the 15thC. There are some minor Italian writings referring to out-of-work mercenaries as "Corselletto" in the same manner as th...
