Looks like the helm is gone pending payment.

Adhemar de Chartres

The shoes are size 11, I just verified that through my email and they were made by Bohemond.

Adhemar de Chartres

Got a few items I am looking to get rid of: Shoes, worn only once to a wedding, if I remember right are from Bohemond, I would like to get $50 for them. The shoes are not damaged, they are dusty because they have been in a box in the closet for 2 years. Size 10.5-11 Leather is an entire side of 3-4o...

Adhemar de Chartres

Okay, All items except TOMAR have sold, I will be adding a new thread with some Cotehardies and a pair of turnshoes from I want to say Bohemond (Size 11).

Those who have bought and looked, thank you very much, items will be shipping tomorrow pending payments.

Adhemar de Chartres

Just PM me about the sword Angus, I also have Sword in Two Hands if you are interested.

The TOMAR is softcover

The Aventaille pics are at http://s1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd4 ... or%20Sale/ and are taggged as Atlanta Armoury.

Adhemar de Chartres

The Sword is a Hanwei Practical I believe, it was purchased awhile back and I cannot remember exactly.

Hjalmr,
What are you asking for a mild Bascinet these days?

Adhemar de Chartres

Center helm, Norman...Hjalmr helm I have been wearing for well over a year, the thing is a fricken tank. I love it like a fat kid loves cake.

Adhemar de Chartres

Okay, so I am searching for information on the "studded" shoes in the effigy of Guenther von Swartzburg. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Guenther_von_schwarzburg.jpg Are these just studded leather shoes or are there plates under the leather? I did a search, so sorry if this has be...

Adhemar de Chartres

I have decided to start working on my Hospitaller kit this year and get it as close to authentic as is possible for SCA. Here is what I am starting with.

Adhemar de Chartres

I tried to explain to a new fighter that he was hitting flat, and why. He really had no idea how his blade was oriented, and it was anywhere from about 45 degrees left, to about 45 degrees right, or even worse. It was obvious to me, that with my nearly 30 years of experience in armor that I had not...

Adhemar de Chartres

I will be there as well.

Adhemar de Chartres

Mt stove shot craps on Friday night, my armour fund has been spent on a new Maytag...yay me *sighs*. Sorry man...

Adhemar de Chartres

Dibs pending speaking with my financial adviser when I get home.

Adhemar de Chartres

I have the same helmet in SS with a solid back instead of the slatback, this is a great, solid helm and the nasal disappears when you are fighting...It's a great buy and Hjalmr is great to work with.

Adhemar de Chartres

Is this something document able or just a 10 ft rule type of thing. I am not questioning you at all, I think they are amazing and I am just curious.

Adhemar de Chartres

Give me a week or so and I am totally ordering one of those shafts. Those are smokin hot.

Indeed it was, Cai and I chuckled about that later on. I now believe you are a Precog...congrats on your new superpower!

Adhemar de Chartres

The helmet was borrowed from Sir Reimond of Ipstones because some idiot walked away from his homestead without his own helmet... o.O

That was a fantastic time. Thank you Standing Stones for a great practice and a great event!

Adhemar de Chartres

I made a Coat of Plates for <$20.00...just saying. You can make a ton of this stuff at almost no cost just by talking to local people. Only thing I refuse to attempt in helmet (because I don't want to suck applesauce through a straw for the rest of my life) and gauntlets because I need my hands for ...

Adhemar de Chartres

mushin no shin I wrestled in School, I had a Coach by the name of Joe Sands, amazing guy. He told us that if we went out and thought about what we were going to do, nine times out of ten we would lose. But if we went out with a clear mind and let our body have control, it would remember what to do ...

Adhemar de Chartres

Did not get many photos of the fighting, none on Sunday, it appears the day was not well photographed and no video that I am aware...shame really, I would like to see what happened.

Well, I was going to post my photo album, but alas, it is a Facebook Album and you cannot see it from the "outside" without logging in. I will upload all of the images to Flickr tonight and then post here.

I would think it would depend entirely on the thickness of the plaques, but I would probably not exceed a couple pounds on the belt just because after that I would think that it would become to cumbersome.

Adhemar de Chartres

I won the Valor Tournament proper. I faced His Grace, Sir Lorell of Shrewsbury in the finals, I won the first bout, he won the second and I won the third. It was a great fight that came to the very end and did a number on my poor psyche while his Grace was calm and collected. The list was 70 people ...

Adhemar de Chartres

Valor was AWESOME! Great fighting, great fun. Three Peerage ceremonies Sir Duncan Bruce of Logan was made a Pelican Baroness Gillian was made a Laurel Master Glendour was made a Knight And Freiman, it was both an honor and a pleasure to finally meet the young ladies you sent to us ;) I have told the...

Adhemar de Chartres

The shoulder still does not appear to be dished deep enough. In fact it looks as though it is dished about half as deep as it needs to be. This could just be the camera angle though.

Adhemar de Chartres

Thanks for this info, I am setting up my shop after September (Autocratting Events and whatnot) and this type of information is very nice to have.

Adhemar de Chartres

Plastic has it's uses, while it has it's uses, blue barrel plastic un-covered makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon... I wear a plastic coat of plates (CoP), it is no more a costume then any other piece of equipment on the field. It has saved me from broken ribs, incredibly hard spea...

Adhemar de Chartres

What are you getting for the Skullcaps like Marcus' on your flickr in Stainless Hjalmr?

BTW I have one of this man's helmets, a Norman conical and that thing is a tank, I love it! Give Hjalmr your money!

Adhemar de Chartres

Thanks guys, the Archive did not let me know that someone had answered and I came back to the thread by chance.

Adhemar de Chartres

Adding 5++++ to this.

Ordered mine on Friday afternoon, it was in my mailbox when I went home at lunch. Great product, great service, great and I do mean GREAT shipping time!
