The Armour Archive

I have a lamellar rig made up of the eldesar brass colored plates they are T6- 6061 Alloy Aluminum. it was worn MAYBE 6 times. It is 855 plates I'm looking to get 600 plus shipping or best offer. The retail value is 555 and some change but this is already wove into a vest. I'll get some pics up soon.


Sir James the Holy

Interested. Size range?

Its built for men of heroic girth should fit up to a 64ish inch trunk.

That was built for Goliath!

Nope. Just an average sized Gleann Abhann knight.

Sigh..armour built for a real man pops up and I am out of Christmas funds:(

64"? Heroic indeed. How tall are you, man?

Ah Paul you're forgetting guys like Loric, Bacon, Caedmon, and Uric. Having to fight big ole boys like yall gave them plenty of fun!!

I'm 6'1 and with padding, tunic etc. I'm about 58 inches in roundth.

Sir James the Holy

Interested to see the pics.

some pics.

Bump and price drop to $550 plus shipping.

Holy

Willing to trade for chainmail or towards chain.

Just saying that the site states a normal size person should estimate 450 plates for a set, so you could almost make 2 sets out of this.

I call bullshit. We have many lean pretty knights in Gleann Abhann.

At 5'7" and a lean 160 lbs I am not the smallest knight. Taller than 3 others!
And yes to me that's a big deal.

It is a very nice suit by the way, and Rey makes a great point to make 2 suits.

Uric

James if you have not sold this buy the end of the year, I may buy it once I know if I get my bonus. Do you take paypal?

George

You could probably restring it and outfit at least 8 midgets, just saying. That's only $68.75 a Midget

Mr. midget here says our king has a good point Sir James. If it falls through with George....tentatively I will be interested, but if my lady finds out I'm armour shopping again, well I don't need to finish that sentence.

Don't hold it for me, I was going to buy it because

A) James needs mail
B) it would fit my viking kit to be
C) because if I don't spend some of my bonus on armour it would be bad luck.

If anyone else comes up with the cash sell away.

George

Could you post a pic wearing it, I would like to see how it covers.

Is this still for sale?

Yeah its still up I'll post some pics of in on the body tonight.

Holy

Just for sizing questions....Eikbrandr says on his site...

A 500 plate vest fits my 6′ tall, 220 pound frame with a lightly padded gambeson on. It weighs in at 8 pounds for the vest.

So to fit a 64" trunk, as holyone says, I would say 850 plates probably isn't too far off. It looks to be 9 or 10 rows that go around the body....figuring that's only adding 35-38 plates (with overlapping) to each row to upgrade a suit to fit a lean Eikbrandr to a 64" trunk of a hero of heroic girth.

If this is still available, I'm interested in purchasing.

Rauokinn

Yes its still available I thought I had posted pics of it on the bodybut i guess I'll have to repost the pics
.

Holy

Great looking rig, I could fit myself and two clones in it. Caidian style

Is this still for sale?

A few questions on it but yes still available.

Holy

James asked me to post pics for him.

Bumpage

Bump

Sir James, will you attending Gulf Wars this year?

if this is still available I am interested

Do you have any interest in trade, or are you just looking for cash?
