Yours,

Why wasn't it paramount two years ago?

Is it possible that in the process of ruining this man's financial future, the probability of recouping any meaningful compensation for these authors may have also been significantly diminished or lost? In cases that I've seen where business revenue is suddenly cut off, reserves are quickly eaten up...

Mr. Tobler: Regardless of your noble intentions for speaking up on internet forums, it simply does not seem particularly "chivalric" (since that seems to be the word of the day). I've always held you in some esteem Mr. Tobler, and what goes on between Mr. Price and yourself doesn't interest me a gr...

Has anyone out there tried these? They look like a bargain, but I don't have the experience to judge. These would be my first arms. I'm also open to suggestions on alternatives in the price range. Period and authenticity are not a consideration. $200 splinted arms http://kultofathena.com/product.as...

Ironwulf is selling this helm if anyone is interested, thought I'd post it here since he doesnt' seem to Armour Archive much if at all. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4061135&l=874aee7a87&id=200646226736 And if you're not looking for a helm you should look at his stuff anyways if you haven't...

As they say, shiny is period... :) Well now I'm really in a pickle because, I had enough solution to blue the sleeves giving me a silver halberk with blued sleeves. If I can't figure out how to blue the whole thing, I've got to figure out how to how to return the sleeves to their natural state. I t...

I'm interested in cold blueing my hauberk. Due to how the rings are linked I thing I will have to immerse the hauberk into the solution. The problem I've run into is that the commercially available blueing products come in 3 ounce bottles. In order to immerse a hauberk, I thing I will need at least ...

Great do you take Paypal?

Dibs on the purse if the shipping isn't crazy.

Probably medium to large on the Kettle hat- at the moment I just have some blue foam crap on the inside, and basic leather straps with a buckle. Not sure about gauge- probably 16, but I'm not 100% sure. I could ship to Canad. It's about 11.5" at the longest, and about 7.5" tall. Ring diameter- yeah...

Marv

Looks like 10mm center of wire to opposite center. Not sure how it's generally measured- interior, exterior, or middle diameter? I've got a butted hauberk available too, more of a Large. Has built in belt loops and I think a dagged edge. Maybe $100 for that one. I think it's measured one side of th...

What do you mean by a "burr"?

Marv

Would it have 6 mm rings by any chance?

Marv

6mm rings by any chance?

Marv

Dibs on the hauberk if its in good pretty good shape. Got any photos?

Delivery included in price.

Thanks to all for good review

I'll take it if that means it will fit my head. Can you PM me payment instructions?

Marv

Marv

I'd like that with the eyeguard if it fits my 23 inch skull and if shipping is affordible.

PM sent on the glaive and the dagger.

Marv

I want dibs if the sale doesn't go through.

Marv.

Marv

I'm interested if price, size and guage are good.

PM sent

Marv

Overall the quality of Velund's work is exceptional considering what is out there to buy. Communication was good however I didn't get it in time for my event. Other than that this is a quality individual to deal with and he is fast considering it comes from the Urkraine (10 to 14 days). Add five ext...

Marv

I'll buy the flat top great helm if it will fit a 23 inch head and pending good guage steel. I've already sent an email to your commercial site.

Marv

I picked the Mercenary's Tailor for my early crusader helm and I was not disappointed. Allan and his crew delivered a beautiful helm to my front door based on the photo attached and this was within two weeks after I ordered it. It is built like a Sherman tank and it obviously has the cool factor. Th...

Marv

I have been trying to go onto your website but am unable too. Is your website down?

Marv

I would like to buy some of your products. What does the shipping cost in US dollars and what is the dilivery time?

Thanks,
Marv

Marv

Marv, if you'll tell us what group or at least what type of group/activity that you're going to participate in, you'll get a lot better responses. You're absolutely right. At this point in time the kit will be used for educational purposes for Grammer schools in the area. In addtion, I plan on gett...

Marv

The best I can tell my target was somewhere between poor knight and middle class knight that fateful day outside the City of Acre. The historical character was actually knighted by King Richard for saving his life and given lands in North Umberland. Is there such a thing as a wannabe helm? Kidding a...

Marv

[/quote] Richard is depicted wearing a flat top, full face helm on one of his great seals which would have been cutting edge. The jury is out on whether there is a low back plate attached which would protect the back of the head.[/quote] Any attempt ever made to replicate King Richard's helm on the ...

Marv

By golly you're right. Mental error. Sorry. That's obviously why I need help.

Marv

Looking for a third Crusade kit. I believe this was the year 1285 with Richard the Lion heart and Philip of France. To be accurate I think I need a pot helm (14 ga) or a great helm (14ga)with a period bassent underneath. I will also need a round ring riveted halburk (full size), leggings, mits, coif...

Marv

When I see an opponet in a shiney undented helmet, It just makes me grin inside. I'm a little more concerned about the guys who look like they've been through a few battles if you know what I mean.

Marv

Hey everyone. I just want to report that I purchased a good bit of armour from Stephen last week and the experience was just first class. Very good value for great quality stuff and excellent customer service. Delivered within days of my order. I couldn't be happier. My favorite piece was a high qua...

Still trying to place an order. Check your 'silkbanners@gmail.com' in box.

I've tried to send you several PM's with no luck.

I would like to get in your queue for a couple of these. Will send PM
