PM'd you on the knees and did get the email on the changed address.

Hi,

Just wanted to insure that everyone was responded to. I still am waiting for 3 buyers from ebay to pay up from a week ago before I bust them. But usually that is a sign that the economy is about to really tank again.

ARMOURER ERIC

I'd be interested in another brig gorget, but one that isn't quite so tall. I ordered one from you about 2 months ago, and I can use it, but I can't tilt my head forward or backward much with it on. Not sure if there's a way to "articulate it" with leather or not, so that the collar part ...

Burgonets are not something I've done in like 12 years, I really need to stay away from custom right now.

Thanks

Hey gang, I am sitting here on my local library computer. Sales have been quite slow the last 3 weeks and I have some medical/car/computer repairs coming up and if I don't take any preemptive action, I may be screwed. I am currently sitting on 4 bad checks for $415 that I have been getting the runar...

In have several leather brig style gorgets in stock in both 17-19 and 20-21 necks.

Anthony,

You do have one on order with me that is about half done. If you need it ASAP I could probably wrap it up in a few days.

ARMOURER ERIC

ARMOURER ERIC

Now it has been 20+ years since my armoury was in DC metro but I used to get my kydex from a place in Rockville, somewhere on the East side of the Twinbrook Metro station.

ARMOURER ERIC

I actually love my planishing hammer, however, if you can wait, I got mine at their annual New Years Day 25% off any one item sale. Paid $75 for mine, have had it 18 months now.

Otto,

Do you think you might ever be inteested in making these without a grille?

ARMOURER ERIC

I just placed a small order with McMaster Carr. One box of 40 rivets to be exact. I went through the process not reading the small print and didn't realize until too late that they don't tell you the shipping cost. Do they screw you on shipping? They're only like 60 miles from me, so I'm going to b...

PM'd you, if you happen to be looking for a visored sugarloaf, I just made one for an order, I can help you with that as well.

ARMOURER ERIC

Here are some pics of the finished project, it was made by making a frame with similar outline to the pigface, a 3/4" wide 1/8" mild border tp coneect the bars with it stepped 1/4" from the 14GA part, so if a weld ever breaks, it has a backup and the whole grille can be removed for re...
