Are all the buckles in the BB series 1 thru 5 suitable for the rigors of ACL combat?

Your Grace, I was unable to find the buckles on your website, can you please provide a direct link.

Thank you

ARMOURER ERIC

No, mostly I'm a miserable failure. Making armour is my ONLY source of income... and it hasn't held up too well. I'm facing eviction at the moment and truthfully don't know where I'll be living in a month. Normal jobs are avoiding me like the plague... and I really have no outstanding skills to off...

ARMOURER ERIC

Thanks for the replies, but any thoughts on the second part of the question?

I would like to thank everyone here who has weighed in on the matter, especially the few who disinterested replies show that they had not read any of the above posts in replying.

I have had very mixed experiences with Eric myself. I use to point people at him for helms and he never disappointed in quality or turn around. Then I ordered knees from him. The knees arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but were far to large. After some chatting with Eric on the phone, I sent ...

ARMOURER ERIC

Well, I really don't spend much time on the atchive anymore, but a friend gave me a head's up on this, so this will be my only response. Back in the beginning of October, I was looking for a starter set. After waiting a month to get quotes, compare prices, compare quality, and talk to people about r...

ARMOURER ERIC

Also contact auctionbites magazine with your story. That seems to be one of the few places ebay/paypal really hates to see bad publicity. And that magazine is usually very happy to post your story. No, if you are successful in recovering your $$, expect to be banned from ebay for some unspecified po...

ARMOURER ERIC

Well, I made the shoulders, I'm thinking that maybe the mounting location on your brig may need a piece of sewn in leather reinforcement. Are you lacing through both holes?

ARMOURER ERIC

Not a problem John, we are just having a record EGG week at the farm and it is really keeping me busy.

@EnderPc I bought my sterter helm from windrose and am happy with it, i'll try them. I did try James River armory, and they have quite a backlog to the point where they are not taking new orders. Nice hats, though. Hi, I am a little backed up right now, and quite late on 2 orders, but I never was c...

What part of San Diego, and from your pic I assume you are in Adria?

ARMOURER ERIC

Anyway we can get a pic with you standing, helm on?

Oddly enough, I know him and will let him know if I can.

Sir Guy sent you a PM on a slightly related matter.

They are cut from the same pattern that my ebay spaulders are cut from. I'd figure if you are 180-220 pounds and 5-10" to 6-1" you are good to go.

I happed to see in this thread references to some higher than usual shipping amounts for USPS. A little secret I found in the last few months is the existance of a "flat rate regional" box. it is a flat rate whose shipping varies by weight and the number of regions you are going. So please check out...

These are relisted after 3 consecutive non-paying bidders. Next time I call Tony Soprano :). Seriously, 3 people in a row started new ebay ID's just to bid, and then did not pay. I from Southern SC, who told me he created a 4th ebay ID just to buy, and 2 more after that from NJ. So here check it out...

My break will soon be ending. During my rest time I finally got to clean out the shop very thoughly. He is a list of items I found lying around that I want to get rid of.

I just had an "item not as described" case opened on an item received by the buyer on 23 March. If I have to start worrying that someone who buys my armour, then looses thier job, dies not win crown, get hurt at the war and needs $$ for medical bills, can now just up and return an item 90 days later...

ARMOURER ERIC

One of the issues resulting in my pissed off stand down on selling was the return of 3 sets of arms sold via ebay going back to Halloween, the reason: Hi, I fianlly got my gambeson from armstreet after waiting a year and now your arms don't fit, what are you going to do about it. 2 at least contacte...

ARMOURER ERIC

Hell, I owe about 6 people $$, so I started raising muscovy ducks to raise the needed $$.

ARMOURER ERIC

Now is a good time to buy these from him. I do not plan on offing these arms on ebay anytime soon, this will be your best chance to get these over the next several weeks.
