Hello,

Two items for sale today; prices do not include shipping. I can accept check/money order or PayPal (with a 3% surcharge). I will entertain reasonable offers.

1. A pair of stainless steel articulated legs, constructed to mimic the lines of extant 14th century armor, made by Brian Brown Armory (knitbee here on the Archive, original review is available here). These have never been worn in combat, only for show so far, but they are fully strapped and ready to wear.

They fit me, at 5' 10" and ~165 lbs. They could probably work for someone slightly taller as is, and someone slightly shorter with a little work. The greaves are not included. Detailed measurements are available upon request.

I'm asking $325 for these.

2. Stainless steel greaves - used. Please note that these are not part of the set sold above. They are slightly too "girthy" for me, should fit an average size person. Asking $100.

While the legs and greaves weren't made together, they should work with very little effort. I'd be willing to cut a deal if someone took both.

Thanks for looking,
Adam

I'm interested in the stainless greaves! How wide are the calves at their widest point? How narrow at the most narrow?

The greaves are 4" at the narrowest and 5.75" at the widest.

Unfortunately they are a bit too small for my legs. Darnit. Thanks for measuring.
