Its been a while since I have vistited the AA but I am looking for some info that is a tad out of my wheel house so thought it was time to drop back in. I am commissioning a new piece to add to my Rus kit. It’s a utility saex and the smith and I were talking about decorative work on the sheath yeste...

For chains I can suggest The Crafty Celt but bring a well stuffed wallet:)

I have a friend that is interested.
He should be posting here soon.

Knotwolf helms are totally what most folks ask for them.
Problem is most folks dont have that sort of money these days:(

The next best thing? The Opening (the first few speakers were missed but its still well documented IMO:) https://www.facebook.com/robert.schuster.391/videos/vb.1656371472/10206250986427692/?type=2&theater The taking of a hersir/squire https://www.facebook.com/robert.schuster.391/videos/vb.1656371472...

As we all recover from a great war, I wanted to put these words to ‘paper’ so this occasion would not be forgotten. These are the words of remembrance, as recounted by Halvgrimr Stormtossed, Riddari of Hjartlund and Lord of the hall, Stormhavn…. The last Thursday evening of Lilies War Hjartlund met ...

So many of the recent Raids have focused on Vikings, Saxons and or Normans This year I am stepping out of the box (and possibly attrracting the attention of other groups of folks) This year we are basing the Lilies Raid on the Rus'–Byzantine War of 941 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27%E2%80%93Byz...

Payment received
Will ship them tomorrow and send you a tracking #

I dont really do dibs, first person to pony up cash is golden IMO.

I have gotten burned on the dibs things before so am reluctant to honor the system.

To be a good sport I will hold them for him until midnight, after that they are yours if you want em.

Halvgrimr

I call second possible dibs also wanting to know the size. Here are some of my measurements. (Hand span from thumb to pinky=8") (Width, strait across Palm =3.5")(Lenght from middle finger to bottom of wrist= 7.25") From these measurements compared to yours would they fit? https://scontent.xx.fbcdn....

Halvgrimr

I THINK they are larges but might be extra large. I honest can't remember.

Halvgrimr

I bought them the Pennsic before last and have only worn them a few times. Strapped and semi padded. I am buying a pair of Grettir Gauntlets so dont need these anymore. Was hoping to get $180 but will entertain other offers. Cash only, no interest in trades. https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...

Tim or T. Finkas....the person you replied to.

Halvgrimr

I am guessing Tim wont refute your assertions there Harry.

Halvgrimr

I still send folks to you!
As recently as a few hours ago:)

Halvgrimr

Holy Crap......
I have one in almost perfect condition.
Now that I know its worth that much I might sell mine (later) too:)

Halvgrimr

I do still have the pattern. Pm me your mailing addy.

Halvgrimr

I have the pattern somewhere Hrolfr, let me look for it and get back to you (for real this time:)

While this is a Calontiri event, I thought there might be some folks outside Calontir but close to St Louis that might be interested Greetings unto the Populace of Calontir! I don’t think that it’s a secret that from time to time some of us hit a point in our SCA career where things go a little flat...

Halvgrimr

I really want a pair of the stealthys:)

Halvgrimr

I am taking the thunderous silence as a no:(
Well that and the fact it isn't on the schedule:)

Halvgrimr

Is there going to be one this year?

Halvgrimr

Thanks to all those that attended! Attendance was low but those that took part seemed to really enjoy themselves and many commented they are eager to participate next year. I think we ended up with 8 folks taking part. We only had 3 Normans so they got a Viking Merc to even out the sides The Raid w...

Hope to see some of you there
Just got my new hidden arms.
They work great and unlike so many other pieces of hidden armor really are almost invisible.
