The percentage of leg wounds varies from pit to pit in the Wisby record. Many of the figures with leg wounds also have parry wounds on their arms as if they were knocked down and covered themselves in a fetal or MMA "full guard" position. How this can possibly provide inference in modern combat rec...

It says there is a strong correlation and yet the re-enactors seemed to barely hit the lower legs, while over half the injuries at Wisby seemed to be leg shots. How can they show correlation there? Wisby The injury pattern in this sample is unique in that it demonstrates a high prevalence for evide...

Hello I am new here and new to sca. I have been out to a few events and fight practices and this summer I want to really fight so I am working on my kit. First thing I need since the loaner one doesnt fit well is a helm, It does not have to be fancy just adequately protect my head. I know stainless...

Only one of those was a "heater" style shield...the rest are bucklers and smaller than you are seeking. Would these still be called bucklers despite their large size? http://manuscriptminiatures.com/4372/7099/ http://manuscriptminiatures.com/5195/16722/ http://manuscriptminiatures.com/4154/12100/ h...

My current C&T kit

The arms are all wrong...mea culpa

Y'know there's also Cliff Side Armoury. Wrong location I know...but he is really well versed in making armour that is Dagohir and SCA compliant. https://www.facebook.com/Cliffsidearmou ... ts&fref=ts

I'm looking forward to seeing these in person.

you might have more luck trying over on the HEMA Alliance forum (assuming you haven't tried there yet). http://hemaalliance.com

Light sparring, heavy sparring, competitions....I've only ever seen this happen twice in all the time I've used them (4 years I think). One was a fluke and the other was because I had modified the tip. Are you by any chance using the grey blades?

Peikko

Very nice

I'd say HEMA was happy for her...but the event wasn't anything special or even on the list of events to attend.

Sounds like their skipping an event and fighting in others. Well, I wish them well in all their endeavours.

Yeah...there's a bunch of folks getting into this.

AHEM! Check the date this was published: " PUBLISHED: 11:40, 1 April 2013 | UPDATED: 11:41, 1 April 2013"

I fly in on the 12th....so maybe. No promises, but maybe.

Peikko

It looks a little too much like this: http://www.theknightshop.co.uk/catalog/ ... e4c30df2a4 for me to be comfortable.

Also, check the date

Peikko

November huh?

I've yet to see any evidence for the "SCAdian ring belt"...and frankly I doubt I ever will.

Peikko

See, ya call it art and folks will pay through the nose for it:

oh...I see

Well, at least it isn't a surprise who the "troll" is then.

Peikko

Part of the problem is that a belt such as we are discussing would have been a massive waste of leather. Why make an inferior armour out of a valuable commodity when you can make a superior armour out of a more plentiful commodity (leather versus wool).

Peikko

Heat should do it (heat gun, steam, etc). Barring that, give Purpleheart a ring and ask what they'd do...they're nice folks I'm sure they give you a straight answer.

Peikko

It's an "onion top bascinet"

yes he has...but more experiments and more data aren't a bad thing, especially in science.

theoretical reconstruction utilizing the "shoulder clasps"

Peikko

Impressive...but BoTN/HMB isn't HEMA. It is awesome, but it's not HEMA

Peikko

Curious, isn't it, that he didn't take the helm to his brother to fix...hmmm

Peikko

you could also check with Marco over at Danelli Armoury, I know he's open to selling bare blades.
