Do you have any images of what you are looking for?
I do have some pommels laying around, threaded 6mm.

Making one for you is more problematic, as my crafting time is pretty much spoken for.

But who knows?

Is this still available?

And if so, what style/type of helmet were you looking for?

I have several unfinished helmets lying around, and might be able to make what you want.

This pattern? And by "kit," do you mean just the cut flat plates, or cut + drilled, or fully shaped? Yes, this pattern. And by kit, I mean all plates are cut, edges rounded off, and deburred with edges smooth as butter; and all dished/shaped. I do not drill the holes, as the rivet pattern can vary ...

The last one I sold was $300 plus shipping.

Stainless has gone up in price for me in the last few months, so I might have to charge a bit more.

I need to sit down and figure it out on paper.

Still a bargain for the work involved.

I have enough 18 gauge 304 stainless to make a corrazina kit in size 46 chest. Its been beastly hot, so it could be weeks before I can make it up- but is anyone in the market for one? I use Doug Strong's pattern, enlarged, and usually add some extra kidney plates to expand the width...Though I make ...

I have several Rough from the hammer mild steel helm halves from Master Cet. Most are for about size 24 inch, and one is a 25. (The 25 is a round top.) Two or three are back points, the rest are round tops. I have no idea what style helms I should turn these into. The backpoints could become either ...

Since these have not sold, I have to assume theres not much demand for this style of authentic small seax anymore.

So I'll entertain reasonable offers, and these will be the last of this style I'll make for sale.

The album was only supposed to show the one pic of the group of small knives.

I'm not sure why its showing the entire album.

The seax was made for a trade, and has long been sent off to it's owner.

SOLD Just a cute little curved bladed knife. The blade is a bit over 4 1/4 inches long, carbon steel of 3/16ths inch stock, and quite sharp. Axis deer grip, brass fittings and a leather sheath. Whats not to love? Just the thing for a lady's kit. This would be suitable for Middle eastern, Gypsy or ma...

Tomorrow is the last day to buy if you need to be certain of getting a knife in the mail before Pennsic.

After that, I can't speak for the speed of the US mail.

Frank gets backed up on email during the holidays.
But he always gets back to folks as soon as he can find a moment, and he's solid and reliable as a rock for business.

Also, if I forgot-

Rondels are very common on the elbow cops from this period.
(Dished round guards where the spades of later period elbow cope are placed.)

This list may be of use to you- http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/merchants/index.armor.html Many may no longer be open, and I urge you to research armouries before spending money on them. Many are good, reliable folks with decent delivery times. But theres some who always seem to be late, or just never d...

The problem right now for recommending armourers is that there aren't that many with actual web pages these days.
A lot of current armouries are on facebook, but have little or no other online presence.

Ironbadger

All right. Are you looking for vambraces with an elbow cop attached? Or articulated, with lames? For late 13th/early 14th, cops like soupcan or the smoother, slightly smaller type that led to articulated with lames seem to be what you are shooting for. The only real difference is the later ones are ...

Theres quite a few armourers, and some specialize in specific time periods, price levels and details such as decorative flourishes and the like. 2. Siz...

Call it a helm kit maybe? Anyway. I started this as a learning project. Having gotten this far along, I kind of ran out of enthusiasm, and rather than waste the effort completely, I decided to sell the thing for cash to buy more steel. Its a four panel spang. 12 gauge panels and nasal. 14 gauge ever...
