The Armour Archive

We are raising funds for bigger and safer workshop (the one I am working in now isn't a safe, nor healthy place for such a work. we are working on renovation of another building that gives much more opportunities), so I decided to reduce prices of pieces I have in stock. If you can, inform your friends, please.

There might be some other helmets for sale in near future. Probably a Nikolskoie helmet and two "Norman" helmets raised in one piece of steel. Anyone would be interested?

It's a big bargain for such quality.

If anyone would be interested in Nikolskoie helmet (welded version) or "Norman" helmet raised in one piece, please let me know. there isn't much work to finish them , so the waiting time would pretty short.
This is Nikolskoie helmet: http://www.thorkil.pl/nikolskoie_eng.htm

I love that Gnezdovo helmet.

I can't afford it, so I won't be buying it. But I love it none the less.

Vladimir, thank you for your comment, I appreciate it a lot.

What would a sheath for the knife run, approximately?

David, if you are asking about sheath with brass fittings, then it would cost from 150 to 220USD.
Something in this kind for 150USD.

or like this, but the chain costs some extra money:


And 220USD for something like this:


A simple leather sheath would be for free. But in my opinion such a nice knife deserve some bling in scabbard, too.

PM will be sent shortly.

Oh my goodness - that is without a doubt the prettiest spearhead I have ever seen.... Where's that damn winning lottery ticket when I need it?

Brucer

Thank you Brucer.

That first blade and handle are absolutely stunning.

If the knife remains available by May 6th I will purchase it. We can discuss the sheath at that time.

No problem, Dave.
