Cool.

Grimbah

Want $50 Includes shipping!
Great for 2 swords, 2 shields! Heavy duty.

AND 3 lil screw clips. Used.
Rusty hilts are good to go, still strong-strong steel.

I'm ex-SCA, do ACL now. I haven't returned to SCA so best to pass these on to someone who will use them.

Grimbah

ah... okay... thanks.

Grimbah

WOW... Mcreedican paid! Wow... guess he's gonna be posting and busting on here and on the field with some new (err old) swanky (err sweaty rusty denty klanky) armour!

This bid is DONE.

Unless he compalins... gulp...

Does anyone know who this guy is? One post? Signed in to bid once? No contact since?

I private messaged, but no response...

Grimbah

okay, closed, i'll contact yah...

appreciate folks bidding...

Grimbah

coupla hours, bidding ends...

Grimbah

So I packed in a thick cut up furniture box with lots of tape, I'm thinking I'd like to budget $75 for postage. Now if it is under, I'll reimburse, if it's over I'll eat it... I've sent stuff for $50 before, but this is even bigger and heavier... promise... if lower, will reimburse. And I'll buy ins...

Grimbah

BUMP... but the bids have been great. I think I better get a good box... (so I don't damage the armour I guess...

Grimbah

brucer.. hah!... the armour worked. never had a pang... frankly when i saw dents i was like...wtf? somebody hit me there?... no way...

i only wore like sweat pants as my chuesse padded pants...

Grimbah

I only want to sell all of it at once. I am primarily a furry barbarian now for SCA and have upgraded my steel for ACL style fighting so these are now available. All mild steel, quite used, lots of dents but all are still intact, usable. Legs are beat up. But I always threw them on with no issues. V...

Grimbah

oh yah... I got my ACL snapped from uhhh... ACL fighting... had surgery, doing rehab now... upto 150lb solo leg squats on new knee!

Grimbah

How are these for ACL?

Grimbah

is this worn under a gambeson or over?

Grimbah

I wanna chopper! Just the simple one. You got that to send for Christmas?

Grimbah

So would Wallace and Museum of London have better collections and/or displays then Tower of London and Leeds?

Grimbah

Well it seems they put it all in that deco entrance... the weapons and armour seemed secondary to the display.

I suppose it was okay, I guess its just me and what I was expecting or hoping for... or perhaps I just don't like the way museums set up their displays these days.

Grimbah

OK, thanks.

Grimbah

I love these beautiful gauntlets! They are very tight to the skin and feel so solid yet elegant. Unfortunately, they do not work for me in two regards. I bought them for Battle of the Nations, not SCA, and you can not punch with these. Also, as I was working out with them, my hands swell just a bit,...

Grimbah

Went to Leed's Royal Armoury and the Tower of London. I had gone to the Tower of London 10 years ago and was really impressed, but since... sadly, there's a new 'museum format' that I guess, for me, I do not personally like. It is full of glass and far away pieces, sparsely set in deco like surround...

Grimbah

Hah... it was dead,... but then with all that clothe material and rains... it grew life forms.

But these postings have helped me greatly! I've moved on to wood and tire. Pics... oh yah... pics...

Grimbah

SOLD. Should be fun.

Grimbah

The biggest thing, was that for me, a newb and kind of a loner, I could easily mess with it to add leather or paint or adjust. Now that I have done mild steel and leather, I still appreciate the learning experience I was able to get out of it. And like practically no care or maintenance. I was able ...

Grimbah

In the next few days, I'll get around to putting on, pose, so you can see how awesome it looks! The scraped paint may make it seem like its all beaten and worn but, I say, it is not! The pickle barrel plastic of Dark Victory armor is solid, seemingly indestructible! Only a chord or two might need to...

Grimbah

I've got a few PM's going with prospective buyers but no sale. As one queried on sword and shield, I'd have to say, nope... not COMPLETE... missing weapon and shield. But complete in the sense of armour. Adjustable size, very easy to adjust via ties, mess with, customize, and perfect with a tabard! ...

Grimbah

Thrice... sold to BAcon! Errrr.... Meinhard!

uhh... lemme pm you.

Grimbah

Going twice....

Going once at 60, if it's still good with you Meinhard.

Grimbah

OOOH OOOH... I forgot to mention so all, latest... bidders can cancel if they wish.

I did drill 4 holes in right hand, thinking I was going to sew a glove in.

Grimbah

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure these are the one's I bought, 3 years ago. http://wardmetal.com/shop.html Mine, obviously have been fussed with, but the strength and integrity of the pieces... (except that thumb piece detached) are still in good condition. Like new as far as getting bashed, de...

Grimbah

Okay, I have gone no where with these... not crafty, not patient... so hopefully someone else can pad and strap properly and use. Mild steel, I believe, bought at a Great Western War, 3 years ago, messed with padding, strapping, never got it right. Odd pain in upper thumb area for me, if hit just ri...

Grimbah

Hey folks, figure I best not let this sit in garage. My first suit, fond memories but I need to shift funds, space and focus. And help others out who might need this. This kit is pretty much complete for SCA. (Unless I'm completely forgetting something!) VERY EASY to maintain and adjust. If you are ...

Grimbah

Could I get a link to Leoric in Poland's site? Or info?

Grimbah

is he from ukraine?
gave you a CP.....UA track number? it works with www.usps.com as well.

can take awhile to get. i'm familiar with some ukraine armourers but not that one.

Grimbah

Yah I want this sport to expand and armourers as well, but me personally, I'm at the tail end of collecting all I need. I hope... however I'm sure once I got my kit complete for this style of fighting. I will be thinking of my next. I have this discussion bookmarked.
