PRICE DROP- Gamberson, CoP, Leg Armour

Post by deflagratio »

:? Well everyone I've been reevaluating what I want to do in the SCA lately and I've decided what I really want to do is Cut & Thrust and Rapier. This means I need some cash to fund the transition.

Item the first: Ice Falcon White Gamberson
Image
This is a size XL and lightly used. The sleeves are way too long and loose for me. Also I am in Meridies, home of humidity, and need something that breathes better.

Item the second: Completed Mad Matt Coat of Plates Kit
Image
Image
Image
Image
This is a size 44 of the famous Mad Matt Coat of plates kit. The shell is canvas. I do have the shoulder blade plates.

Item the 3rd: Viking Leather 3/4 leg armour with simple cop
Image
3/4th leg armour that has seen a lot of use. Perfect for loaner gear as it has been strapped to hang from a belt. One of the legs needs a little extra leather added under the cop as when it bends the leather will pop out and lock up the leg. A quick hit fixes it though.

*EDIT*
Do to reaction I am now placing these Items on sale for the following prices:
1)Gamberson-$150
2)CoP- $125
3)Legs-$50

Buyer pays shipping.

It is 18 gauge mild painted with a clear coat to protect it. I've had it for years and never had to worry about rust.

Dibs on the coat of plates pending price. What did you have in mind on that?

I've never seen high riding boots in 14th century sources, so that one might be hard to get.

The boots I'm talking about are the kinds found here, and here. The Second link calls them riding boots and quotes "The Book of The Hunt" as a source.

Ah, thanks! Hunting context was what I missed. I think the guy on the right here is the inspiration.

Bump. Gamberson is still available at a great price. This thing retails new for $250. Legs are also still available. Would make a great loaner pair.
