Any good suggestions for naming a Dane axe?

Sir Soren and I have come to an agreement. Thank you everyone for your interest.

I'm just looking for trades right now, but I paid around 450 for the hat and 200 for the aventail. It's currently the only helm I have strapped up, and with Pennsic around the corner, I need to make sure I have a working helm, hence the desire to trade.

Oh yeah, important piece of information. My dome is 23.5 - 24 inches, depending on who measures it. The helm could fit someone with a slightly larger head, though not much more...

Greetings armour archivers! I'm looking to trade my White Mountain Armory kettle helm in mild steel for a spangenhelm to wear in the interim of getting my new spangenhelm from Surly Anvil. I am trying to get my 10th century Dane kit in order ASAP, but I don't have the cash flow (or the need) for an ...

I vote for a Misericorde/rondel!

Here are the pictures for the pavise sample/test Close up of the box: http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy75/mhansen205/SCA%20Shields/2013-01-22_14-52-20_830_zpsabda8e2e.jpg I can curve the wings or just leave them straight: http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy75/mhansen205/SCA%20Shields/2013-01-2...

I'm going to try the box with a piece of scrap aluminum I have, then beat on it a little and see how it behaves. USPS says that Parcel Post will be in the $20 range, taking about a week to get there.

I will try and do a mock-up of a pavise, but no guarantees on such a complex shape, or if the bending required will compromise the structural integrity. It'll be exciting to give it a shot.

Thanks to some ducal motivation, I now have a bucket of concrete with a 4x4 post curing in my bathroom (concrete needs ventilation and it's too cold outside).

Resolution #1 nearing completion and we're only 6 days in, heck yes!

My resolutions date back from when I got home from my deployment and essentially not being able to fight or even really do pell-work for an entire year... 1) Build pell in backyard so I don't have to drive to a friends house to train 2) Train on said pell 3) Complete CoP and acquire Wisby "fingermit...

Luca made a matched set, and the third bad boy is mine. I just finished letting Luca pummel me with one of these for science, and HOLY RAPTOR JESUS WOO!!!! These things hit with some serious authority.

I have one of your wasters and I am currently using it for my weekly practice with the express purpose of seeing how long it will last. I only just recently was able to start this experiment, but I will let you know when I have results.

Vilhelm: You damn dirty Swede! :P :D :twisted: (Do you have pictures of your kit? I'd love to see what you have for our part of the world.) Considering that a lot of effigies actually displayed items in use approximately 20 years later than when they appeared on armor, and the Johann III von Rappolt...

Awesome stuff so far. I'll have to see if any further research turns something up.

A friend of mine mentioned something that would be neat to add to my helm as I am doing a German 14th century portrayal (Ok, it's actually scandinavian, but we tended to steal a lot from the german mercenaries that were always up in the area). His suggestion is a "heraldic plate" sewn to the front o...

That'll sweeten the pot! PMing for Paypal info.

Is is possible to get a shot of the helm not on a white background? Considering it...

I too will call tentative dibs to check with Household 6 (the wife) and my funds.

I am currently finishing up a tour overseas and I am looking to get a bascinet for my return home in October (so there's plenty of time). I've looked at off-the-shelf helms and they've certainly gotten great reviews and I don't have a problem with them, but I'd like to see if there's anything used o...

Pmed for Dibs

Can I get the measurements? I'm wondering if it'll hold everything I want it to hold.

I think that is a very splendid looking pouch, so...

I took a peek at the BMH ones. Not really a fan of the metal tongues coming down the handle...seems like it would be uncomfortable in the hand... also, they all seem very...flat. Right angles and whatnot. I dunno, I'm being extra picky, which is kinda the reason I started this in the first place. Jo...

I haven't seen them. I found the website, but it's currently under construction. Got any pictures?

The Oakshotte typology is by and large the standard when it comes to sword classification, but it glosses over the viking age a bit. The Geibig typology ( link here ) is what I've been looking at in my research. I believe a Geibig Type 5 is most appropriate, which shows the brazil nut pommel I previ...

No one's got any input?

Some cursory research (which I am not citing at this time due to, I'll be honest, laziness) has led me to information indicating that at the beginning of the 11th century (think Sven Forkbeard and the Danes post St. Brice's Day Massacre and becoming King of Denmark and England), Scandinavians began ...

Yeah it's here and finished, almost constantly filled to the brim with officers on laptops during the day...
Also, it's surrounded by Husco's...which I am not surprised by.

I think this is a fantastic tutorial.

Dibs! PMing shortly
