Possible trade (anyone interested in a welded stainless haub
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2001 1:14 am
Gentles,
I have a maille hauberk made of welded stainless and an aventail made of the same both made by Master Knuut that I *might* be interested in trading. What I'd be interested in would be a similar hauberk/aventail made of aluminum and I'd have to have new leather arms made for me also. The hauberk I have is full sleeved that hangs to just below the knee on me when belted. (I'm 5'10" and weigh in at 190# but I wear it over a large, thick gambeson and lacrosse arms) It is big enough to fit someone a few inches taller and bigger 'round than me. The hauberk I want would only be half sleeved and the arms would be something along the lines of black, waxed and studded. Something to fit the early 13th/late 12th century. Like I said, I'm still trying to decide what I want to do. Let me know if you are *seriously* interested along with a time frame for delivery. I'm getting older and I have a hard time running around with nearly 40lbs. of "show" armour on, but I don't want to give up the "look" of wearing a hauberk. One more thing, if you'll bear with me a bit. I *know* that I could buy 2 new hauberks (aluminum), the aventail and arms for the price of the welded hauberk I'm offering for trade. Yeah, I'm going to be losing money on the deal. But if I do decide to trade, I'll expect superior workmanship. Also, feel free to sweeten the pot with whatever you might want to offer. Minimum would be the aluminum hauberk (preferably of the acid-etched stuff Ld. Charles sales), aventail to fit my helm and some nice leather vambraces with cops.
Thanks!
P.S. I may be nuts and asking more than anyone wants to offer. That's ok, too. I really like the hauberk I have and hate to give it up, but I'm not getting any faster as I get older!
