Re: looking for a square of maille "fabric"
Wedge or pin? Mild or stainless? I have a few bits lying about, might be able to set you up for a reasonable price. My hauberk is mild, pin, so I guess mild would be best. Rus armor seems to me to be very varied, so as long as it sort of blends with the hauberk, the detail of the rivet may not be T...

looking for a square of maille "fabric"
Greetings, I am trying to adapt a hauberk to make it look a bit "Russian" , but without permanent modification. I want to add a few isolated lames to the front. It occurred to me that a simple solution would be to take a 9x9 (more or less) patch of riveted maille and attach the lames to THAT and the...

Re: Looking for some ideas on Persian Helms
Persian in what period? In ancient times actual Persians wore helmets rarely but mostly soft armor, in the same principle as the Sikhs. In later times they were similar to the "Saracen" helmets.

Re: Back injury and fighting question.

Back injury and fighting question.
Apparently, my old spinal disk injury seems to have returned with a painful vengeance. I had surgery 17 years ago and until recently little or no discomfort. But the radiating back pain has returned.

Re: Large Round Shields
My large Greek round shield is excellent in Melees, but it sucks in single combat. It gets in the way indeed. Usually I am forced to switch to my 14th century kit for tournament fighting, but I have mulled for a while building an oval Beotian shield to be able to fight tournaments in my Greek kit. G.

I have used these with EXCELLENT results to hold a steel pipe center pole firm against the ground and more importantly self supporting.
This allows one man to set up a center pole pavilion with relative ease.
