Gorgeous Anshelm Fluted SS Bascinet with x2 visors + mail
I have a bombshell offer for you. This helm is a gorgeous work of art. It's 14g stainless steel, crafted by Anshelm Arms. Easily fits a 23.5" head, with some flex on either side of that size. The helm includes an interchange setup and both a grill and closed-face visor. There is a flat welded SS Knu...

Re: Old armor cleanup sale! Helms, mail, & more!
I am about a 23.5" head circumference. The celtic spangen fits, but it's not a roomy fit. I used a yoga pad internal liner for padding, which basically makes the helm fit like a glove on my head.

Re: Old armor cleanup sale! Helms, mail, & more!
Right now I have people who have expressed interest in helm #1, the steel arms and legs, and the elbow+knee cops.
The other two helms and the mail are still available.

Old armor cleanup sale! Helms, mail, & more!
Hey folks! I've picked up more than a little armor over the years. Living in a small apartment as I do, it's taking up a ton of space, so I am cutting back to a single set. As a result I am selling off all of the extras. I figured I would give the good folk of the Archive first dibs on anything peop...

Posting an update for the Archive: Rana was as good as her word. The helm arrived, unfinished (no aventail, no closed visor, no strapping).

I purchased a brigandine from Anshelm. I was promised 4 weeks or something on the delivery but he got it done in less than 2, maybe he was busy.

I've been using the original stuff for a while now, and I have to say - I think it does precisely what it's supposed to do, and turns from squishy into a REALLY hard substance instantly on impact. Unfortunately, the pad sections are so small that it often ends up transferring all the impact from a s...

Been thinking about this a bit, and Bastior's comments on a lamellar kidney belt crystalized some thinking. Has anyone tried using the plastic lamellar plates as hidden armor? Seems like they might work OK laced together as thigh armor, as well as midsection armor. Right now my thighs are protected ...

Re: Scales for SCA armor
As was mentioned above, Polar Bear does mostly lamellar, but he can change the holes for a special order of scales, and some of his styles are excellent size/shape for early period scale armor. (I looked into this myself, a few years back!)

Re: Like to get some opinions on mail types, please
The odd thing, of course, is that the 5.3mm mail is 82% of the size of the smaller "heroic age" mail finds. So it's not actually *far* too small, it's only 18% too small. ;) I wonder if it's partly our modern eye that makes us assume that the smaller links are wrong, because we're used to seeing mos...

Good point! In context of the discussion this weekend, it was hauberks being talked about, for better kit appearance.

Re: Scales for SCA armor
Polar Bear Forge would be my recommendation. Good scales, variety of metals to choose from. The RingLord stuff is interesting - I made a shirt from it, many years ago when I had too much time on my hands and not enough sense. But it's not even vaguely period construction.

Very sorry to hear you're having troubles, Freiman. I second the thought above about getting a second opinion from a specialist; this is not something small, this is a big deal and something you ought to get checked out.

Re: Warriors of History / 10 man unbelted melee.
Ouch. So WOH will be conflicting with Hastings? There's quite a lot of crossover between those two events, because the kit requirements are fairly similar. Shame that folks will have to choose, this year; we hadn't had a conflict yet.
