Wanting to sell off my armour: kastenbrust-esque

Dierick · Post by **Dierick** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 10:17 am

My armour is in a half finished stage that will require an investment of money that I am not willing to spend on it right now. So, rather than me have it sit in storage, I'm just going to sell it and put the money towards paying off debt, which is what my next year will be. I never want to have to worry about owing money again so its going to be work work work for me for awhile.

Its in storage right now, so I can't provide super detailed pics, but I can link to all the old pics. Everything is for sale except the helmet. I guess you can take the helmet if your interested, but I really don't think its going to fit anyone and it is not finished yet.

Progress pics that I was posting over in design and construction:

Here are pics of me wearing it while drinking beer, which, IMO, should improve the value :p :

If anyone's interested, let me know and I will start providing details on it. I have no set price so once I get a reply up with all the specs on it, you can set a price that you think is reasonable.

What size is all the stuff?

What size is the breastplate and how much are you asking?

Ok, now for me to post some details on everything.

Size: I just base this on my body size; average build, 168lbs, 6ft. even height.

Material: 16 and 14g stainless for the arms and shoulders, 18g stainless for the breastplate.

Edward,
On my body the breastplate only covers down to my naval, so by its self, it is not legal armour. Just thought I would give you that FYI.

Ah. Thank you.

Dibs on the armor, pending price.

Considering that a breastplate isn't required, it's plenty legal.

I'm going out of town this weekend for a ww2 reinactment. When I get back I will get the armour out of storage and take pics and measurements for everyone.

That is only in regards to it not covering the minimum soft bits. You would have to wear a kidney belt or some type of fauld with it.
