Wish l was a Large John, but I wear a Small.

Lucian Ro

Hey hey, Klaus, it notified me this time — please do, I’m interested! You can also hit me up on FB, Scotty Riopel.

Lucian Ro

Sorry, just saw this! I'm pretty thin, probably 40 inch vhest, 32 inch waist.

Lucian Ro

As luck would have it, someone stole my helm out of my car a while back, and l've slowly being putting funds together for another helm. Doesn't have to be pretty, doesn't have to be new, just looking for a basic bascinet for SCA combat. I already tried Ironmonger, looking for other options. One day,...

Lucian Ro

Anyone have one lying around? Back in the day, l had one from Historical Enterprises and it worked amazing. I don't see them on their website anymore, so l fear that they me be no more.
Anyone have one in a size small they want to sort with?

Thanks i advance.

Lucian Ro

Anyone still making, or have for sale, the interwoven metal basket hilts and/or shield bosses?

Lucian Ro

Ended up being from Windrose, actually, but thanks!

Lucian Ro

So, I purchased this buckle about a decade ago, but I can't figure out who from. Anyone able to recognize it?

Lucian Ro

Looking to get my hands on a dishing form. Working on a Valsgarde helm kit and need to form the upper joining pieces. What've you got?

Lucian Ro

Hiya, these still available!

Lucian Ro

I have the instructions, still confused.

Lucian Ro

So I'm confused from the get go. Not a good sign, but not a surprise either, considering all the hits to the head that I've taken. What does the brow band attach to? Is it the nasal-to-nape band? And after I'm temporarily attaching it, is that so that I can get the needed oval shape? It talks about ...

Lucian Ro

Yes, Clang, for living history. Tell me more.

Lucian Ro

I was curious if anyone is making a non-SCA kit for for a smiliar style helm? I thought Halberds did one at one point, but I think it was more of a crusader helm.

Lucian Ro

Hey Thaddeus! 23.5" melon.

Looking for mild. Trying to keep it under $200, hence the "ugly is fine". Thanks, though.

Lucian Ro

I know we discussed the lack of kettle helms for a landsknecht, but I came across this on landsknecht.org with no info regarding it. Pretty interesting.

Lucian Ro

Anyone have a cheap, preferably mild steel, burgonet or sallet that they want to part with? Ugly is fine. Bargrills are fine. It's for SCA heavy.

Let me know.

Lucian Ro

I was wondering if there any any SCA C&T/fencing training videos, especially pell-related, that folks could link me to? I haven't really come across anything decent on YouTube.

Lucian Ro

Dan, you and the rest of the folks need to update these links, for all of us up-and-coming Late Tudor enthusiasts! ;) How are Skyesutlers shirts compare to Bethlehem Trading Posts, from a period standpoint? Skysutlers seem less full, but hard to tell with the small pics. http://sykesutler.com/clothe...

Lucian Ro

Wow indeed.

Lucian Ro

Is this going to be Thursday again this year? Unfortunately, I'm only going to be there through Wednesday. =(

Lucian Ro

Anyone have pictures they want to share?

MattyD's is totally cool.

Lucian Ro

I've heard, and saw somewhere in the past, folks that have modified Indian helms for SCA Cut and Thrust. Anyone undertaken this process and want to shed some light on it? have any particular helms they'd recommend? I figured I could pick up some stainless perf plate at Lowes and modify as needed, bu...

Lucian Ro

The "dresses like a 17th century pirate" thing is probably exaggerated. Most of the rapier folks I know have solidly 16th century personas, but yes, like floppy hats. Floppy hats DID become super popular in the 17th century, but totally existed earlier, along with things like riding boots. mandilio...

Lucian Ro

Sounds good, if he passes on it, let me know. If I don't pick up something in the interim, I'll be interested.

Lucian Ro

Hallbjorn, if you still have the mask, what size is it?

Lucian Ro

I have a larger, wider one that I very much like (maybe it's even one of yours, I forget where it came from) but I'd also like this new one you're sneak-peaking for us, as it would be less problematic with it being more low profile, as opposed to my current gorget allows for my aventail to occasiona...

Lucian Ro

She responded to my questions in about 30 minutes; so far, so good.

Lucian Ro

I came upon their site the other night looking for later period garb and I was curious if anyone has used them before? They seem to have a fair amount of product but I'm unfamiliar with them.

Lucian Ro

Looking for any kind of trades? PM'd you.

Lucian Ro

Badass. But too big for me. Does it come with the skirt?

Lucian Ro

Sounds good, Stefhan!

Lucian Ro

Stefhan, do you have any more of these hilts? You can PM the info if you like.

Lucian Ro

Ooops, wrong auction.
