iirc, Duke Garrick (currently in Drachenwald iirc) once played with using wicker shields wrapped in canvas for a destroyable shield setup.

My wife and I were discussing 14th century kitchen implements on the way home

I would give Knitebee a try. I should get around to posting pics of my breastplate that he did.

The continuous usage is the main question for me. I am still looking for a good 14th cent representation.

Norman wrote:One of the more important Russian burials of the period (Gulbishe) contained a body with equipment which all averaged roughly 1.3 times the norm. so the sword would likely look two-handed out of context.

Is that the monstrosity with a 42 inch blade?

How very interesting. I especially like this line: "...and impress upon those who disregard the rights of others the certainty that, in the judgement of all good men, the law is magnified when he who, without right, appeals to the sword is by the sword destroyed." Now, off to buy a haubur...

If that is what he is wearing and all that he is wearing, then he is in the wrong. A welding glove by itself is not Rigid..... Again, the rules are very clear on this. 1. A rigid basket or cup hilt with enough bars or plates to prevent a blow from striking the fingers or the back of the hand. If a ...

I would bounce this "gauntlet" in a heartbeat. Behind a shield or not. It is simply not good enough. http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=780170 Sir Corby's own "stealth gauntlet"... I would suggest that you talk to the KEM about that. Him and I have had many c...

I would be interested as well (incumbent on my job status)

For my part, I would never fight in a crown list until I felt I had sufficient skill to be a credible entrant. I would not want to make a mockery of such a solemn occasion. Steve This is my feeling as well. To me, it's not just another fighting opportunity, not just another learning opportunity. I'...

I fought with my regular glasses. Polycarbonate lenses are legal. My helmet was big enough that I could fit them in. The only issue was I learned that I wanted a harder arm, rather than a wire one, as it meant I could get it over my ear with the helmet on. Just got lasik, so now it's a moot point (w...

I was kind of curious. Last year, we had a local tournament hit 160 fighters (up from 140 or so the year before). I was wondering what the biggest tournaments are in the various kingdoms, as well as at Pennsic and Estrella (Outlands Tourney for instance, but not the actual War Battles). Thanks, Payn...

Color me interested, I think you should obviously have it for Crown. I'll swing by and check it out.

I moved from the mid to antir last year, and so far have only shown up at one practice in seattle (under the highway, at the park and ride) i took my kit and had it in the backseat of the convertible, wore an old gulfwars t shirt so that the people at the practice would have an idea that i had been...

missed the first part, I have been given a ransom, and a thank you token from an opponent for actions on the field. The thank you was an embroidered Fleur de Lis.

If you end up getting this tent, I can help you line up a sail shop that would have a washing machine that can fit it up in Van.

my wife is going to be replacing this setup with new polarbear forge plates in 410 when I get a new job lined up. She used cathedral art as the inspiration (it's in Nichole's book) for the lamellar. http://www.bogpages.com/SCA-photographs/Pennsic-Wars/Pennsic-XXXVIII-The-Early-Days/IMG0339/617530101...

Actually photography in the galleries is not forbidden at the Wallace Collection. We started allowing it in February. Its perfectly fine.

.....BTW if the Crown DOES institute equipment rules (as our curent one has) I will vociferously support his right to make those rules for HIS Crown tournament. I am and always be the Kings Man.
