Who sells armor in the EU?

Good day,
I am seeking out an armor purveyor here in the EU, I am in Ireland. Either the EU or some place much closer to home. I'd try my hand at armoring but time is far too limiting of a factor.

Although we are in the U.S., we ship all over the world as well.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info lads. I want to avoid the overseas shipping charges and local or closer to the EU saves me a smidge of cash.

Pavel Marek (armorymarek.com) is in EU, though I have no experience with him personally, I love the photos of his work on his website...

I use Mark Vickers at St George Armoury, not heard a bad word about him yet.

You may find you save cash by *not* choosing to restrict yourself, geographically. The EU is an expensive place to live, and work prices reflect that.
Of course, I may be well and truely wrong! :lol:

Indeed it is quite pricey here. My new friends and wife refer to Ireland as the "Rip Off Republic". Perhaps it is the allure of enjoying medieval reenactment and having the armor made at the source.

Markus has some very good stuff!!! I do like the maximilian he made for himself.

Eysenkleider is another german armourer doing good stuff.

I sent you a PM a few days ago. I have a steady following in the EU, I have been told by those in the UK that after shipping VAt customs and postage that I still total out at 100 pounds less than Get Dressed for Battle on an Arms, Legs, shoulder package.
