I've been considering buying a gladius for a long time now, and hearing that you're considering making one, let alone a lenticular gladius means that I'm going to start saving now. I will definitely be watching this with interest!

Here's a new example of my work...New Viking Shield: Sigurd Slays Fafnir the Dragon Yes, I covered this wooden shield in canvas, then painted it to look like wood! Painted using trompe l'oeil technique to provide illusion of high relief wood carving. I made the shield as well as the painting. Inspi...

Thanks! That's the same number as on his website, so it's on the right track anyway.

I appreciate the help.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for an email address to get ahold of Jaap at Yumi-Bows, but I can't find anything on his website. Does anyone know his email address?

Andrey Galevskiy has a suit of stainless mongolian lamellar available right now, you can message him here or on Facebook.

Ulricus von Geusa

I just wanted to post an update here. It's been a while, but I'm only recently back on the archive. Andrey sent me the helm and it is rock solid and exactly as he said it would be. He was polite and gentlemanly all throughout the process and when I was having a hard time getting a proper fit (mostly...

These look great, I would definitely jump in on them if it weren't for my tiny little hands. GLWTS!

I'm a huge fan of linen liner padded with cotton batting to fit (or horsehair for a more period and... aromatic style) It's what my wife, her father and I all use and we swear by it. It's comfortable, wicks away sweat and provides excellent protection. Combine that with a linen coif to keep your ear...

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here, I've been recovering from shoulder surgery and didn't want to get tempted by all the pretty armor that I couldn't use while I was recovering. On to the main event. back in November of 2012, I ordered a mid 14th century bascinet with a grill a...

Ulricus von Geusa

Payment sent.

Ulricus von Geusa

I'm also interested, I'll take it if Tom B. decides he doesn't want it.

Ulricus von Geusa

Pm sent on coins and dice.

Holy funtional art Batman!

Ulricus von Geusa

Could you do fluted poleyns and couters in stainless or spring stainless?

Ulricus von Geusa

I would definitely be interested in that type of Baselard if you decide to make one, I actually prefer that style to the scale tanged ones.

Ulricus von Geusa

Do you have a picture in mind of what you mean by a "black forest" Baselard? I'm not sure what I'm finding is what you mean.

Ulricus von Geusa

My lady bought some very nice Turkish garb from Griffin's Gate last year at pennsic. They were friendly and helpful as well, altering the garb on site at no extra charge.

Ulricus von Geusa

I'd love to see a baselard if you could make one

Thanks Olaf, but it was hidden in the wall of text. I'll fix it.

Ulricus von Geusa

SOLD Okay, I had set up a deal to sell this, but the guy hasn't responded for two months, so it's up for everyone else. Last year I bought this helm from WMA, but since, my kit has completely changed direction (and Century) So my loss is your gain. The helm is brand new, I've only tried it on for si...

Ulricus von Geusa

I'm also interested in a full set of vambrace, rebrace and cuisse splints once they all get done up.

Ulricus von Geusa

Will you be shaping the plates as well? I'm interested but I have no tools or equipment to shape metal with.

Ulricus von Geusa

I'll go $70 on it then.

Ulricus von Geusa

What's the closure method?

Ulricus von Geusa

Out of curiosity, do you have a price in mind for the belt/dagger set for those of us who might be interested this summer?

Ulricus von Geusa

I would love that 14th century kit but I definitely can't afford it at the moment. If you're willing to do pieces of it separately, be sure to let us know. I would love that belt/dagger set or the COP.

Ulricus von Geusa

Just talked to him on Facebook about my order. Apparently he's been sick for the past few weeks, but he said he'll be up and going shortly. You should be able to contact him there if you have an account.

Ulricus von Geusa

First two installments arrived in the mail today. I will be cashing them after lunch.

Ulricus von Geusa

I hardly consider you to be massively behind, or to have screwed up, We only decided on the final method of payment in the last two days of October, and even then I figured with the holiday season coming up I wouldn't be seeing much until January anyway. Stop beating yourself up.

Ulricus von Geusa

Sounds good Russ. I'm away for the weekend, but I'll be back tomorrow night, so I'll let you know when they arrive!
