corset brig, i am way way to fat for that

I was going to say...there's no way I could fit in that and I'm on the smaller end of the range of sizes. GLWS tho, that's a pretty piece.

Thank you, but the fit is dependent on the thickness of your arming doublet.

I don't know Tim, you could probably wear it as leg armor.

Looks nice, price?

1300$. I don't know why I wrote it in the bottom of the message

1100$ - the new price!

I hope you mean 1100 rubles. That is a price you will NOT get if you meant it in dollars.

Are you kidding dartaghan? A spring steel brig with this form and quality would easily set you back £1000 at least in the UK.

This guy has a great rep. And $1100 for this is a steal. If my waist was 3" smaller and I didn't already have a brig on order with him I'd snap this up.

Dude this is not cheap SCA armor, he will get the price from the right buyer. Not everyone is an low end SCA player in the game this sort of armor is common for reenactors all over the world outside the cheap skate US of A.

I so hate people talking down about prices because they don't have a clue about the market.

If anything even at the original price it is UNDER priced. Do you know how many man hours go into making one of these?

There is a guy from England who makes fantastic brigs, I covet them, they start around $2k and go up from there.
WORTH.EVERY.PENNY.

Agreed, this is some amazing armor and priced in a very reasonable range. My kit does not even get close to this late in history and I find myself trying to figure out how to buy this. If only the world would shower me with money......

That is a gorgeous brig. It looks especially nice on a model who has similar proportions to what is depicted in contemporary art.

Where did the pictures go?

Seconding (or thirding, or fourthing) the comments that this is beautiful work for an excellent price (for a brigandine that I don't have to consider skipping a month of mortgage for because it might have fit me when I was 14 )

Man, if I didn't have hips...wow, that is an AWESOME rig!

Best of luck in your sale.
