The Armour Archive

Would be a great starter kit.

Includes:

Custom made blue aketon with grand assiette sleeves. Suit 6 foot round 90 kilos type of guy.
Maille: elbow length sleeved hauberk, chausses and coif. All FWR and chausses have leather soles put in.
Plate components: soupcan elbow cops, poleyns, gutter vambraces.
Hourglass gauntlets made in 16g mild
Suede coat of plates, very sturdy.
Padded cuisses in blue.
Blue surcoat ready to paint your arms on!!
Great helm with fan crest, torse and mantle in the late 13thC style. Suit 59cm-60cm noggin. solid 16 guage.
I will also include an arming cap as well.

I would like $2,000 all up but because I need the bucks I am gonna offer it to the archivers for $1,750 plus postage and handling. I can probably swing a fairly inexpensive delivery to CONUS with DHL.

Yes I will put some individual photos up this week. Over the next weekend I will get it all together as well.

Enjoy my pain! I gotta fund a 15thC joust harness folks!!!

Helm with crest, torse and mantle..in plain blue and ready to decorate. Aketon underneath the coif and hauberk which are part of the kit for sale.

Note that is oxidised olive oil and beeswax on the helm not rust!

Thayer cracking deal! Someone is going to win big on this one...

Would you be willing to break up the kit at all? I would definitely be interested in certain pieces.

OK. What say I put prices on all the separate items and if no one takes the shebang by say Thursday we auction the elements?

Hi Andrew,

There's interest in a staple group-buy. Could we have a couple more pics, especially COP and gauntlets? Plate bits would be good too.

I will get pics of the individual bits tonight.

BUMP with pics.

Will post more pics as I take them. I can get some pics of the hauberk and chausses tonight.

Sure would! I can't stand waiting for the market to pick back up in armor, but like a used car, I can't get the desired returns on armor right now. I have the good fortune of being able to meet up and make armor with the fellow who used to make Kelly Bailey's armor in the 90's so I might be able to get an entire 1470's harness done by spring.

Bumpage and if you take the whole shebang I will throw in a set of brass prick spurs!!! If there are no takers I will separate it and price individually tomorrow folks.

Sold, pending payment, to the very excellent friends from the Company of the Staple.
