Do you want me to ship them directly to Aonghus and save you a shipping charge? Or I can bring them to Pennsic? I am just trying to help here.

There's no such thing as "for practice, not for the field." It works for practice, it works for the field too. Have no idea what you were thinking. I presume he meant "field of the Combat of the Thirty" - not the general listfield. That is precisely what I meant. I meant not spe...

I had Tennis elbow when I started fighting, mostly due to bad form. I fixed the form a little but also picked up a great exercise for tennis elbow. Set a knee on a bench, take a LIGHT weight dumbell and let the arm in question hang loose. As in an arm dumbell row http://www.droidfit.com/images/exerc...

I use a fellow in New mexico that sells on Ebay. I have bought from him many cleaned and polished horns that were so good, that only needed inside cleaning to start using. m He has many for sale, so you need to go through the offerings to find the size and colors you like. I cannot speak well enough...

Outstanding! What a brilliant opportunity for honorable advancement and the upholding of the honor and beauty of one's lady!

My admiration, Your Excellency...

Awesome diagram!

In the meantime...

Irish, what is the quickest easiest type of legal polearm that I can build for practice, not for the field?

Thanks!

Glaukos the Athenian

Ok bascinet it is and thanks Audax. I don't think I want a bar grill or maybe one that can be changed in and out. A hundskull or a klappvisor. Price is also very flexible. What age does a barbute fall into? Ironmonger makes hounskulls for their bascinets, but the face plate can be as expensive as t...

Glaukos the Athenian

Ironmonger makes excellent entry level bascinets. Built like tanks and with elegant lines. $350 for a flip visor stainless and DOWN from there to the munitions grade at $135. Superb value and a safe noggin. m Eric's Bascinet (Armorereric above) looks REALLY good as well. Beautiful lines. Glaukos

I've been going through hi res versions of Froissart, and while -obviously- later than the period that is written about, I cannot see a single instance of any two-weapon style, though plenty of two handed, and a surprising amount of daggers...

No problem. You surely go above and beyond.

Thanks!

Glaukos the Athenian

Good luck... There was a fellow in the West that had a few made, at very high cost. Since they did not sell well could maintain production. There is hope yet. Look at my thread in Design and Construction, from about 2 years ago about making a Greek Aspis from a Big Sandy crash barrel lid. http://for...

Crap.

Not authorized two weapon.

There is the Stierbach Baronial on 7/9, you can aim for that to try and authorize.

Glaukos the Athenian

Oh no, it is not a question of bad, just to help us first timers get it right when we show up and not be either turned back for armour deficiencies or spoil the fun for the regulars

Search Combat of the Thirty here on the archive. There is a listing of What is and what is not acceptable to the field. ...... It is not that simple Angus.
