The Armour Archive

Seriously, RJLeahy. My latest project has been a Byzantine Klivanion and so far I've pounded about 1600 rivets. I've never had shipping delays from them, and a #12 burrs are a great match for 1/8" diameter rivets. I've been ordering from them for years.

Halberds,
If you still have this next week I'd like to buy it, but I won't have the $$ until next Monday...

Umm... I don't want to unnecessarily throw shade at a new armorer, but aren't these gauntlets an exact copy of the gauntlets Grettir the Slow has designed and manufactured for almost twenty years now??? If I'm wrong, and I hope I am, I apologize, and I will publicly (on the archive, anyway) retract ...

I use padding from Unequal Technologies that was developed specifically to supplement the padding already present in football and military helmets, and I like it a lot- I find that I no longer get the headaches that I used to get when wearing my helm for a long period of time. The padding was develo...

Mark,
Does greathelm 2c already have the breaths drilled? I'd be interested if they weren't drilled yet. (looking for more perood diameter breaths.)

I don't think that the Bascinet for sale is a GFDB Bascinet- The GFDB Bascinet's have a pointed visor and no medial ridge, whereas the one for sale has a blunt tipped visor and a distinct medial ridge. The differences are pretty well apparent on the Facebook pictures. Just my two cents. Talun Mac Du...

I've owned three pairs of Lewis Moore Gauntlets- two hourglass pairs and a set of Wisby's. I sold my Wisby's after a few years of heavy use for $250.00, but they had the full cuff. If I were to be looking to buy your gauntlets, knowing how much I like my own Lewis Moore's I'd offer $125.00- $150.00....

Great Helm is sold.
Talun

Not even close. The Great helm is actually a little smaller than the Cerveliere.
The Cerveliere has a thicker top as well.
Talun

taluntheb

Yes. I just finished a new Shovel-face Bascinet for COTT level fights, so no need for the great helm.

Post should be fixed now, I've corrected the link and remembered to set the album for public viewing.
Let me know if there are any other problems.

A Short Round Top Cerveliere by Mad Matt. I've blued the helmet and attached a stainless aventail by Atlanta Armory. I've also added a second drape of black bison leather beneath the aventail because the aventail itself weighs next to nothing. (I'm not worried about the strength of the maille, but t...

I have two helms made by Mark, a great helm and a ring face bascinet. (The ring face is the one pictured on his site as a matter of fact.) They are both excellent helm and have survived everything I could dish out to them. My bascinet has survived almost ten years of SCA combat in Atlantia and has o...

Owen, I have a pair of Lewis Moore Stainless Hourglass Finger Gauntlets that have only been used in one Combat of the Thirty. They are Large size. I'd be more than happy to trade, but you'd be given up more than you'd be getting.... Don't get me wrong, they are a rock solid pair of Gauntlets and I f...

I'd be interested in one of the SS S/M Gauntlet kits if you have any left by now...

I'd be interested in an SCA legal kit, but without a price range I can't confirm it. If it's under or near the $125.00 range I'd definitely be in.

I've got to throw out Clang's name, because I think he's only been mentioned once so far... Love his stuff, and the ring face bascinet he made for me years ago has yet to get a single dent in spite of how often I forget to block my head... I have to say that there also hasn't been anyone on this lis...

I've been doing these for sale for eight years now... But the way I work is that you get the cleats/shoes and send them to me... anything else and It'd end up being a shoe store instead of a Leather Works. Plus having the shoes/cleats sent to me helps make sure that they'll fit, means I don't have t...

These are actually a one off- I wanted something specifically higher that the typical ankle boots, and this was the only good example I could find. That said there are a few things that are definitely standard for Talun mark !V's going forwards: There is actually nothing left of the original cleat b...

taluntheb

Wanted to show the cleat covers I referred to in my previous post... I've been writing a tutorial for them which I will post when I finish it. Unless I die of old age before then, which sems likely at the rate I've been going lately. These were based off of boots found in Stepping Through Time. Spec...

Dante, email me a list of what you still need and I'll set it aside for you. I do not currently need five sets of armor. I have an old Lupus-made starter helm rusting slowly to death in my shop, which you are welcome too. It was given to me for use as a loaner helm and I never actually loaned it out...

I second Thor Thorshammer... you simply can't beat the quality/price ratio of his casting and he's a good guy to boot.

Mine came in earlier in the week, wore one of them for the first time last night, as I wanted to wash them first to see if they'd shrink. (Which they did, but not much and actually a little less than I expected.) The best gambeson's I've ever owned are the ones gmandragora used to make, I still love...

Would you be able to offer a set with one of the Wisby styles of cuff and metacarpal? You might be able to drop the price a bit if you didn't have to include a finished demi gauntlet with them... and I've been thinking about making a pair of Wisby gauntlets, so I'd probably buy a set... $300.00 with...
