I am working with someone on getting som medieval chest hardware made. Strap hinges, hinges, handles, rings, etc.
What I am having problems with is finding good pictures of said items to give to the guy to see if he can make them. Varying time period is fine: Viking, 14th cent, 16th cent. I am just looking for good images right now.
any help is greatly appreciated.

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.

If you can lay your hands on it, or pull it throgh an inter-library loan, and you're really into the metalwork aspect, I would recommend:
Medieval Decorative Ironwork in England
by Jane Geddes
© 1999 The Society of Antiquaries of London
Burlington House
Piccadilly, London W1V 0HS
ISBN 0 85431 273 0; ISSN 0953-7163; 411 pages; $125
Available (last I knew) through Norm Larson Books
5426 E. Hwy. 246
Lompoc, CA 93436
Take a look at my review at:
http://www.anvilfire.com/bookrev/atli/M ... geddes.htm
A nice overview of the subject is: Church Chests of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries in England by Philip Mainwaring Johnson (1907, Reprinted (c) 2001, The Caber Press, 7549 N. Fenwick, Portland, OR 97217. (~$13 when last I knew). This slim volume certainly complements the other source and gives some useful construction details.
If this and Karen's information still leaves you longing for more, I can pull some of my lighter sources for some additional details.
