Don't get hit

This is my current kit- its supposed to be Kyiv right around 1400 so a bit late than the 1200 OP though the lamellar and the helmet styles are within reason 1200 though I think. I do take some creative license with the timeline of some of it- the bazis and lower legs are of a style thats a bit later...

These were taken earlier this year on my last practice as a squire. Nothing much but the belt, spurs and chain has changed. Sometimes I don't wear the skirt. Usually I fight with an almond shaped kite shield but the paint scheme is almost identical to the heater in the pics. Sabatons of some sort ar...

I agree with Scott and Violen on this- To me- Bar mace = "I don't know how to throw with proper form with a sword and i don't know how to actually use a proper mace so I'm going to rules lawyer this thing that does neither well into play" Mace with basket (or axe) = I don't really understand how and...

Щасливого Нового року!

14g fluted stainless Windrose helmet with unique brass nasal and welded aventail. Lightly used, Ursus style chinstrap installed, drilled for higher mounting point for chinstrap if preferred. padded for installation of period liner. 28 1/2 inches around brow, easily fit my 22 3/4 inch head with thick...

Gotta side on the Man o War relevence side here. It is digit and proper that this information be posted here. Yup.

muttman

I'll pass word around. I think I know a few people who would be interested

muttman

Will you be at Pax?

muttman

I'm passing this thread along to Ilya. It sounds like something that might interest him.

muttman

Is this Chuck?

muttman

Done. Sent this thread to four armourers- three I know personally, two of whom I have things from and one I think very highly of though I don't personally have anything from him, and a fourth in Russia I think who's stuff I see online often and who has a great eye for aesthetics too. Wether they res...

muttman

Something about your posts sounds like a high potential for the kind of drama and headaches I hear armourers lament about. Since three of the four names I can think of are people I think of as friends to varying degrees I'm going to send them this thread rather than volunteer them. Good luck, hope y...

I paid 29.00 USD a KG plus 20 USD for riveting tool. If I sell for 23.00 USD and throw in tool for free I can get the rings I need.

muttman

Guess he learned a lot from Brand. Too bad

muttman

I have about five kilograms of 9mmID flat, wedge rivet mild steel loose rings that I'm not going to use. Riveting tool and a roughly 6X 12in. started piece of alternating solid ring mail included. Should be enough to, combined with solid rings, do a whole hauberk for a mediums sized person Will sell...

Here we go- since the most recent poor dumb bastard he ripped off saw the back order thread and assumed things we hunky dory, maybe linking this thread in will demonstrate the pattern to future victims. http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=146737&hilit=brand+lancaster&start=280...

And, based on the FB SCA armour for sale page as of today- 3/24/16, at it yet again. Leopard doesn't change its spots

muttman

Eastern Block Armoury on FB or Aesir would be my top reccomendations. I have helmets from both and am pleased with them. Some of the Russian or Ukranian opetations make some too I think

muttman

I have this helmets younger brother and can attest to the outstanding workmanship and durability. The maker, some might be interested to know, is the same Ilya who just won on that Forged In Fire show.
viccerfml, this is hardened 4130 steel if I'm correct?

muttman

Well, I care. I take great pains to fight with weapons appropriate to my persona, and am glad he is trying to do the same. from what i've seen in the SCA nobody will really care. "viking" is really generic anyways +1 . Make that 2

muttman

Is that 10mm inside diameter?

muttman

This would be too small for me. I'm looking for a shirt and would be maybe interested depending on price for one that fit. I like this better than the stuff from India

muttman

BOTN is an event done by Historic Medieval Battles, kind of like Pennsic is anevent by SCA ( I know, its not but for the case of simplicity let's pretend) ACl is the US Armoured Combat League and while they used to fight st BOTN under HMB, when International Medieval Combat Federation was created AC...

Very nice! I've bought two of your knives in the last year and am very, very happy with them. I can't justify another one so I have to pass on this but some lucky person will be most pleased they got this knife.

I also received a similar e-mail. Package is en route

muttman

I ave one of Jestyrs long aventails on my newest helmet. I actually like it better than the welded aventails on my other helmets- looks more right. 8mm alternating row. I plan to get a shirt of the same in the not too distant future. Well worth the price https://www.facebook.com/baltimoreknife/photo...

Oh, I'm sure He is and I'm sure there is. But, you see I don't know these things. What I know is that 6/10 I recieved a message apologizing for the delay and stating that He would get things shipped and get me a tracking number tomorrow. Its 6/15 now and I have not received further communication- ei...

muttman

Yesterday came and went without the promised tracking number. Today is almost gone too. What's going on here?

muttman

The SCA will never be as a whole a vehicle for accurate historical re creation. It was never that. It won't ever be that. Get over it already. If you want something more authentic go do it or start it. Plenty of people have. If you want more authenticity in the SCA stop bitching about it and cultiv...

muttman

Better? Hardly. "Shitting" on Scadians? Nope. I've been in the SCA for over 20 yrs now, so my cup for lame excuses and apologies for the status quo overflows very quickly. Was my delivery rough? Absolutely. Sometimes in order to make a point, it's necessary to do it with impingement. Since I've bee...

muttman

So you created a profile here just to shit on the SCA AND tell all of us how much better you are than the rest of us? I'm not even saying a disagree ith your points but your delivery sucks pal.

muttman

PMs received and replied to- am now updated. Thanks

muttman

PM sent a week ago- 6/03, gone unread. Another sent today 6/10. Was told 5/29 shipping in about a week. Please update. Thanks.
