Anyone dealt with these guys? The stuff looks fantastic, but I need info before I'll commit cash to buying from them...

Thanks. I notice they have a fast track service now, but I'm not sure how much extra it costs. If I can find out I'll update this post. I'm not in a great rush to get my armour but a year long wait does feel a bit like throwing it into a hole and burying it... Many thanks for your replies and opinions, they have been very valuable.

Own a helm, but I got it second hand. It is a good quality helm, not ment for SCA use, gives the correct feel for a 15th century soldier. Way better quality in shape and feel than most SCA guys do and much better than costume armor thaat muse reps and India guys make.

In their defense,admittedly from some time ago,I have a pair of their fingered gauntlets in SS.Ordered through Crystal Knight Armoury (American distributor for K+K),SS was a special order,sized to fit my wife,paid $250 for them and recieved them in three weeks.Tate was the importer at the time,that was 5 years ago.Has K+K really slipped that far into the toilet?

This isn't really important, but I thought I would say it anyway.

There is no more Czechoslovakia. Now there are the Czech republic and the Slovac Republic. This might get in the way if you happened to be shipping stuff.
