The Armour Archive

I am helping a buddy post this to the archive

Here is the info I have and some pics
If you have questions ask them HERE
Egil is on the board and can answer them better than I

"The helmet was made by Duke Enman of Ansteorra (Highland Anvil)

The top is made of 12 guage stainless steel layered.
It is not a true spanghen <in> the top is a regular two piece top welded together then the spangen straps are layered over that.

The straps are then welded into place and rivited.

The slats on the back are 14 guage stainless again all welded into place then rivited.

The decoration is brass over copper with a griffon motiff.

This was a completely custom job that cost $1,000.00 new"

He is looking for $600 but willing to go a little lower if need be
I assume if it helps the sale he will also throw on a low grade polish before shipping

Inman and Athena - she did/does all the decorative brass and copper work. That's a beautiful piece.

I'm very fond of my bascinet from them.

size? how big a gord will it fit?


And....for $600 I would hope it would come polished and the smiley face sticker removed.

I second the request for measurements/ sizing.

Egil cant check the Archive from work
When he gets home he will pop in with the info for those interested

thanks for the help halv.
well, my head is 24 3/4 at the eye brows.
and there was the min 1inch padding all the way around.

what other measurements would you like?

oh and if it will seal the deal, InsaneIrish, i will remove the stickers and polish the brass for you.


i never thought to do that. i never polished it when i actually wore it.

Its a nice looking helm but it is actually to big for my head. Sorry.

Running it under a buffer would still do alot for selling it. I bet that brass and copper combo looks completely badass when shined up.

Brasso does some amazing stuff.

i just want to get this thing sold and out of my work shop. any one wanna make an offer on it?

I would like to make an offer, but all I have is 100 bucks!

OK 101.01

Well I was going to go with the "two dollars and fifteen cents" thing, but instead I will 101.02

but in all seriousness, what are you looking to get for the hat at this moment? I may know someone with a melon that big, but I am not sure what their current financial situation is.

Thanks

to be honest i dunno

i was hoping to use the money from the helm to purchase a new sword.
