It looks like I need another loaner helm

[freiman the minstrel]

Guys,

I am a bit ambivalent about this one, because I have been thinking about the amount of time that I spend on the SCA, but my practice is outgrowing my loaner gear, and I don't trust myself to make a helmet that I would ask somebody to trust their life or their brain to.

I need a loaner helmet. It doesn't have to be pretty. It doesn't have to be cool. It does have to be safe and legal. Honestly, it will probably be primered and painted gloss black. I would like to pay via USPS money order, and I would need it mailed to my post office box. Because it is to dress a newbie/prospect, it might end up unused after a few weeks. If it does, I promise that it will be donated to a group as a loaner helm, rather than rusting in the attic, or going to the scrap yard. I can have repairs/mods done, if necessary. I know several blacksmiths/machinists/metal workers. To be useful to me, it should be a large size helm. I would prefer if it was a newbie friendly helm with a bar grill.

If you happen to have an extra helm that is rusting in the garage/shop/attic, I would be interested in buying it.

Shipping by priority mail to me tends to be less than twenty bucks, and it normally takes seven to nine days.

I unfortunately can't help you personally, but check emorokian arms. I use one of his helmets and they're very well made, start at about 100 bucks and he is an awesome person to do business with.

maybe check in with his Grace IceFalcon. If he doesnt have one himself he may know just who to send you

but i know for a fact I would trust my life and again on an ice helmet =)

Lordnugg, if the Freiman does not want your helmet, I may have a use for it. PM me dimensions of the helmet and if agreeable I will pay your asking price.

[freiman the minstrel]

Nugg, that looks perfect. What would you need for it?

i can also deliver at pennsic and do the deal there

[freiman the minstrel]

Sorry, Nugg, but I can't do 120 for a throwaway helm.

[Edward MacTavish]

I have a great helm kit that I could sell you for $45. Just needs welded or riveted together.

My friend and I have a loaner helm that we would probably let go for $80.

Its ugly as sin and massive, but im betting bullet proof.

PM if interested.

[Gunther Neiman]

I am hereby releasing any dibs I had on this helmet. Just can't afford to spend anything at this time.
