He still has one in stock. The mild steel, not the stainless, some guy bought that one a couple of hours ago.

Yum yum!

Yeah I have been waiting for a while to get one and having it a WMA helm to boot. I don't think I could beat that with a stick. The only downside is I won't be here when it gets delivered. I will need to wait about a week to see it. But I think I can handle it.

Now, if only I could figure out how to compress my head that extra inch in order to cram in to the bascinet with bretache...

Crack!

Kills braincells, head shrinks, fits helm. Or just go without padding, that kills braincells too!

Honestly I have been waiting for a WMA helm that will fit my head for a long time.

That one cost $4680.

$650 for the helmet

$30 for fast shipping

$4000 for my wife to go on a cruise

Having my wife actually put it on HER credit card: PRICELE... Nope not priceless, $4650.

Worth every penny.

I bought the mild steel kettle from Magnus/Adam. It will be my second hat from WMA and I am astounded by the quality.

I think anyone that has a WMA anything, should consider themselves pretty lucky. It's going to be a premium to get a hold of them 2nd hand, now that Adam is taking a break from armoring.
The only other kettles that I saw as comperable were the ones from West Coast Armory.

I have cut my armouring back to maybe 3 hrs a day. I have to say my limbs and joints have not felt this good in years.
While I am no MD to me the improvement seems to reduce the likelyhood of the brachial plexus injury and seems to point to the much more common cubital/ulna tunnel injury.
While I will not ever likely produce in the capacity I did befor I am hopefull I will still be able to provide armour to folks.
I had a friend help me the past 2 saturdays with the "muscle" work on some projects and it looks like I should have 4 helms that should show up instock over the next 2/3 weeks.
Oct 16th is my apt with the neurologist so I may finally have some decent and accurate details.

That's good news, brother. Though I admit to a certain selfish thrill in thinking of my new hat as one of the "last of the WMA kettles," I'm happy for it to not be true.
