The Armour Archive

I'm looking for some SCA heavy fighting tidbits and wondered if anyone had some to trade for stuff from my site (see link at bottom)... what I'm looking for:

1. 9 ft spear (I think it's a fiberglass shaft these days)
2. 1 pair large gauntlets (stainless is a plus)
3. a set of full articulated legs or knees (a little on the large size, but not too tall)
4. I'd throw body armour out there, but I doubt anyone has anything laying around that would fit me... so I'm probably on my own on that one.
5. A nice pair of half gauntlets (large)..stainless a plus
Now, I know there are lots of you out there who'd love to SELL me these things... but I'm cash poor... but I do have steel in my garage and there are some things I do well (just not that many)

If I had the time, I'd definitely trade you some gauntlets (full, half, or both) for some baskethilts. Maybe things will open up sometime soon...

Y'know POD... as I recall, you do maille, don't you? I'd be happy to trade for an aventail if you have one laying about.

You mean like this one:

It's 16ga 3/8" stainless steel Euro 4-1 with Kingsmaille dags. I can check the circumference and let you know how big it is if you like, but think it is 30" around

Or I can just make you another one if you like. Feel free to email me

Yep POD, something just like that...

I'd have e-mailed, but my e-mail is a little squirrely still since we had to "quick restore" (read re-format) our computer since it was behaving badly.

I'm gonna check my e-mail setting here, but it should be sbvast@yahoo.com

Though, for the life of me... I don't know what I could make that you probably couldn't do just as well or better yourself Your skill level seems to be progressing along at a wonderful pace!
