Re: SCA rebated steel?

Who all sells 12ga helms that meet these rules? I am not set on a bascinet (Beckenhaube) or great helm.....

How about rebated sword sellers?

Re: I wanna be a LANDSKNECHT

I also remembered that you could go a bit earlier as well (1500 - 1520) and use the armour of a light lancer. The later armour would have a Maximillian fluted surface and separate gauntlets. ad_paum_l.jpg These images are not very good, sorry about that. :( These depict armour from the late 1540's,...

Re: making a tent -how to treat the canvas?

About 10 years ago, Thompsons chaged their formula, and it doesn't work as well on fabrics now - the tentmaking community was crushed, as it had been a go-to for a lot of us. Since we live in a RAINforest, local shops carry a number of other water sealers. Some contain copper which would stain the ...

Re: making a tent -how to treat the canvas?

18th century reenactors I knew used Thompson Water Sealer for canvas and camp rugs. It leaves no bad smell, sheds water, and even cleans old rugs while turning them into ground cloths.

Re: WTB/WTT: looking for a Zischagge helm, SCA legal.

I have a helm like this. It is mild steel and has a nice fluted top. The bar grill needs attached to suit you - it has the holes for 4 simple bolts if you like. Unpadded. The bargrill does not come down very far so it will not work for a long necked fighter. I would be interested in possible barter ...

Re: Anyone with experience with RingMesh and similar product

I own some Azon mail. I can barely feel that I am wearing it and it looks neat under armour but is not much protection by itself. After a few years I do need to take advantage of their flat rate repair service to fix the moth holes. Worth the price.
