The Armour Archive

Okey dokey

What is the general opinion of the authenticity of the various bits of armour on Albion armouries site? How bout the burgundian curiass from MRL?

Gotta get my stuff going by September.

hmmm dont like any of it for period wise. albion is a tad ruff looking as well

now the mrl new plate gauntlets are kinda nice. need to replace the brass rivits though. and of course there on back order.

I really kinda liked the Phrygian Norman helm.

How bout the weaponry?

Haven't seen the guantlets.


Looks like Jeff is gonna get even more money.
Maybe get a cuirass from Valentine?

Still gotta find a 15th century body armour.


Man it's gonna cost a fortune.

Maybe get back into Regia
definately
Normans
3rd Crusade
14th century
15th century
and
WWII!

i may need a bigger house

Murdoch:

Why don't you have Cet make you a Phrygian helm? He's got the skills.

i have a Wensenschlas helm from Illusion, i just thought i'd get another one.

I'll probably wait and get other stuff.

Thanks for the plug T-Bob. We're ( Jeff Brunner, aka Kelson formerly of Cold Steel Armoury is working with me now) actually nearly finished a 15th cent curaisse for a friend of "T"-Bobs and have been planning a short run of 15th infantry breast plates between now and Sept. they would be g geared toward the LH folks and offered in either mild or 1050. I'll send you some progress pics of the nearly finished piece.

Cet:

Kevin will be very pleased!

Later in the year (when the finances ease up a bit), I'll want to discuss a few 12th and 13th century kit items with you, if you're amenable...

Absolutely amenable. Kevin's piece is done save for tassets and final polishing. I plan on shooting a few pics for him tomorrow and the whole thing should ship by early next week. Which will be tough since Kevin's build is similar to Jeff's and mine and we kind of would like to keep it

oh sure Cet, build someone else's 15th cent LH standard stuff before mine! and dont tell me about it hehehehhe

dude, we would love to see the pics of your LH stuff

Kate (my wife) has known Jeff forever.

I'd love to get a curiass from yall.

Cool,

We're not taking orders for these yet per se ( too far ahead) but we'll be keeping a list of interested folks to contact as we get closer to the run. If the timing's right for you then you'll have first refusal for one. I sent off a pic of Kevin's breast to tyour e-mail a little whuile ago.

Cheers
