Sold pending payment.

Rudolph

I have edited the post to include payment options. Unfortunately I do not have paypal. I am also willing to meet up with anyone in the upper New England area if that is preferred.

I am selling a pair of gauntlets made by Grettir the Slow. I purchased them before I had to stop fighting due to a work injury, so they have been tried on, but not fought in. I usually wear an XL glove, my hand measures roughly 4" (10cm) across, and these fit nice. $900 shipped to US lower 48 Thank ...

Rudolph

I will be there Saturday.

Rudolph

How dis the deed go? I wish I could have attended, but it fell a day of family obligation.

Mmm, as a former Georgia boy, I do miss my hot boiled peanuts.

Rudolph

I haven't for SCA fighting, but back when I was playing soccer and having some replenishment issues, my doctor recommended Pedialyte. It worked quite well for me. Then again it's been about 20 years since then and there might be something better.

Rudolph

I wish you success in this Deed. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend GNEW.

Rudolph

Very Cool.

Rudolph

It has been a few years, but my COP was great and held up well. I can't find the order form for the fabtic, but IIRC, it is made of two layers of heavy flax linen. I used the roofing nails, and decorated them with a little paint.

If she likes the barbute, then I would have her look at a 15th century Hospitaller. Don't worry about what the mafia guys want.

Rudolph

Thanks for posting this. I think i need to add this one to the list of places to visit this trip.

Rudolph

:D Glad to hear you are back! Spend all your time off on ancient sports cars? Not sporty, but an old 4000lb L6 flathead. I've a fusion a C5/C6. I went from a kettle to a spangen with an open front aventail and a very tall gorget. Kinda acts like a neck brace. Some good advice and thoughts on the he...

Yes, but the person asking the question comes from a Kingdom that has a history of Squire chains. The repetitive pecking is getting tiresome.

Rudolph

Welcome back! I would advise a lighter helm and avoiding weight riding on your shoulders and back unnecessarily. This would mean no maille shirt. Hidden plastic for the torso would likely be a good idea. Hmm, unfortunately plastic is something I want to avoid. Might be worth looking into the weight...

Rudolph

About a year and a half ago, I herniated 4 discs in my neck which caused me to loose feeling to my middle and index fingers, as well as my thumb in my left hand (I'm a lefty so it sucks). This coincided with my interests shifting towards other things other than SCA fighting, and I have been out of i...

Rudolph

Sad to hear this. You've made some of the best hats and armor bits out there.

Rudolph

Actually, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. On my belt I've lost fittings over the years, but the buckle and strap end have been left pretty intact. I'd say give it a try. The kit itself looks quite good. Are those the "skinny" shynbalds as well? Thanks, I'll go with the belt a few times and...

Rudolph

Rudolph, I think you need some form of belt. be it either sword belt or other. Would mail chausses have been used at this point? A belt would be good. I have one that I made for my soft kit using a 14th century Hungarian reproduction buckle and strap end from Armour and Castings. Thought about givi...

Thanks, it's still a work in progress, but I feel it is starting to get presentable. Need to start looking at and considering the details to bring it all together.

Rudolph

I'm in the process of building my early 14th kit and would appreciate any suggestions. My target is 1315-1320 Eastern Europe (Nitra). This was a mock up pic to see how it is coming along. As you can probably tell, the shynbalds aren't strapped on the bottom in this pic. I really want to get some mai...

Rudolph

He isn't on line as much, so communications can take a little more time than many of us have grown accustomed to. Product and serve are definitely worth it.

Rudolph

for some good stuff. Thanks Matt, for letting me swing by to check out the bits the other day. Unfortunately, I am too big a guy for this armor. I do wish that it fit my larger frame. Definitely some nice stuff though.

Rudolph

Very cool stuff. Looks like a lot of fun. Thank you for the links.

Rudolph

Can't help too much with the sword, but for that pic, I think you are leaning more towards mid 14th. It's a cool look for sure, and one of the Priory brothers fights in a similar kit. http://www.stcolin.com/breathren/Friedrich.php As for a helm... I have been a fan of Kettles ever since I got mine, ...

Rudolph

There are many, but if I ever make it back to the Mid again;

Duke Sir Palymar (fought once at a Candlemas bear pit back in '94 or so, would still love another bout)
Sir Vitus (just cause).

Rudolph

My old kit from a few years ago. Still have the lamellar, but only wear it for light practice. Moved further forward to the early 14th. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/rightshiftrick/SCA/Rudolph1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/rightshiftrick/SCA/FighterPractice3_09076.jpg http://i...

When I first joined the SCA, I had an interest in 13th-14th Century Germany. I chose Rudolph Stahl as a name. Rudolph was a family name, and Stahl, because I thought it was a cool germanic last name. Over the years, I kept using it. While I like Rudolph, Stahl always seemed like a place holder. A nu...

Rudolph

I have taken a few classes with Jeremy in the past, and can say that he has taught me much. While he likes to have fun and goof around when time permits (the DVD appears to show this), he takes his training seriously and gets his points across. I can really appreciate this, and am looking forward to...

Rudolph

I guess I would describe myself as a brawler. I'm 6'4" 250lbs with long reach, but I always end up getting in close, even with a pole weapon. In melee I seem to be used mostly as a wall breaker. Don't survive often beyond the initial push, but can make good sized holes for others to follow. :mrgreen:

How about those of us somewhat German, but slightly further East?

It's been a few years, but besides some of the other listed places, Prague also has an interesting torture museum (maybe a little touristy). We were lucky enough to stay in with my cousins who live there, so spent much of our time with them. If you're out in that part of the world, and you have time...

Rudolph

Great thread. I hope to be able to take part in the COTT, and it's great to see and hear about the various ransoms given. I have a better picture of what to bring with me to war in the event that I am found worthy to fight. Any one receive a ransom they found to be really cool and creative? Rudolphus
