I can't tell from the funky color in the pic...are the arms of the bow made of steel steel or wood?

Abaddon

Dude...didn't you just sell a klap visor as well? You are getting rid of all your stuff. Good stuuf, too, from what I can see. What's going on? Does someone need a kidney?
Don't you have any kids that you could sell into indentured servitude, and save your armor?

Abaddon

Yo!
What is your waist and chest size?
Since you find this breast and back to be a little large on you, what would you say are its measurements?
These are important bits of info for me.

Abaddon

I would go with Therion Arms...if you had the money
They are a bit pricey, but they are quality.

The Robin hood most mythified was a disinherited Saxon noble...whose family was unfairly disposessed by a Norman accusation of treason while he was away at war...(often specified as on Crusade with Richard the Lionhearted). The accusation was basically a trumped up charge that was accepted by the Th...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2186732078&category=43337 Oh...my...god. I think the one on the left could actually be salvaged if you removed the whole hilt and cut the wings off where the ricasso is, leaving simply a leaf-shaped blade with a full tang. But the other one is a co...

I think the whole problem lies in judging comparative scolastic endeavors. That is to say that most SCAdians and Living History buffs are students of history and/or amateur scholars. So here people have a topic of interest that they have actually gone out and studied on their own...perhaps the only ...

I think my favorite armour myth comes, in fact, from a myth. In the original saga of Beowulf, Beowulf was always described as wearing "shining" armour and "bright" armour. Now the first written account of Beowulf was in the eighth century, and the first oral account was known of in the fifth century...

Abaddon

This looks like fun.
I may attend.
Where is Three Rivers?
I am up by G.R.
That's down south, isn't it?

Abaddon

Ooooooh...!
Thanks for the link!

Abaddon

Howdy! I am looking for a person who can pound me out some steel or iron strap hinges for a chest I am making. The specifications? They should be at least an inch wide, an 1/8 of an inch thick, and about 14" long, (7 inches to a side). It doesn't matter if the opposite ends are offset or aligned wit...

Abaddon

In about two or weeks...max.
Maybe as early as next week.
Please shoot me an email with your address and a shipping total to zip 49319.

Regards,

I would be interested in some of the plaques.
Is this a limited-time deal?
Are there going to be more of these for sale in the future?

I would like about twenty of the 2 inch and thirty of the 1 inch plaques, but not until about the end of July.

Abaddon

That stuff looks nice.
But unless I caught you at an event, I don't know that I could afford the shipping.

Abaddon

A place called Medieval Replicas (not to be confused with Museum Replicas) used to have several styles as well. Bodkins and square-head (like a bodkin, but shorter and beefier) points for sale at 6$ per head.
I do not know if they are still around or under what name.

My arm is fragged from practicing all day. I need some arm guards and other archery paraphenalia. I am bare-arming it right now. But...hoo-boy! The first six arrows struck no more than about three inches apart. With no familiarity with the weapon at all, it was accurate immediately. I haven't even i...

Abaddon

I would assume he has a diect site as well.
He has been making and selling bows in excess of twenty years. Ebay has been around for what? Seven?

I just recieved my period longbow from Bitter Root bow company. You can see more of their stuff here. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&use rid=stickbow5*&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 Let me tell you, it is quality . The pictures of this guy's stuff simply do not tell ...

Abaddon

No problem...I check here pretty often.

I think my hotmail account is usually full of porn offers and penis enlargement pill ads(I don't know who these people have been talking to! Or rather, WHO talked.)

Abaddon

Any sign of it yet?
Shoot me an email when payment arrives.
Thanks.
Rob

Abaddon

That would suck. But that would explain the lack of response. I think this shipment has gone astray, but I never got a tracking number. I don't even know the method of shipping ..ups, usps, fedex. By the time they get back from vacation, it could be buried in some bottomless bureaucratic postal serv...

Abaddon

Does anybody know anything about Brand Lancaster from SCAworld.com ? I bought some brass elbows from him on ebay a few weeks ago and they haven't arrived yet, and suddenly he has gone underground and won't answer my emails regarding the shipment. They were quite expensive, more than I really should ...

Abaddon

Buckles are always good, but don't forget the chape ends and the plaques for plaque belts.

Abaddon

Considering the amount of stuff that is bought and sold on the Armour Archive want ads page...I am surprised there is no feedback function attached like eBay has. This is a shame in a way because I have had a plethora of good experiences buying stuff from fellow Archivers and there is no easy way fo...

Abaddon

YO! I just recieved the spaulders today! The other stuff came about three days ago. I love all of it. The chainmail was really the best buy...I underestimated how much of it there was. And now I find that I will probably be able to finish every chainmail project that I have had in mind...I was only ...

Money sent.
You should probably see it by Monday or Tuesday.

Got your reply. I'll send the money out money out tomorrow. Thanks.

My first suit of armor was a suit of late 15th century German full plate with close helm, full pauldrons, finger gauntlets, and fully enclosed arms and legs. It was made by Herr Schneider of Essenfeld, Germany. I bought it when I was in the army and really didn't even know the SCA existed. It was be...

Abaddon

I like em!
They look good to me.
Persoanlly I like the shiny black finish, and would not paint them. They look a lot like laquered or black powder-coated metal. If you paint them, they'll immediately look like what they are...plastic.

Abaddon

Where is Uprising being held at?
I am new in this area but it sounds familiar to me.
If I am close by, maybe I can lend your friend some armor.

Abaddon

I think I have deduced this helm's angiogenesis...it's origin, if you will...
It is based on the Lego-Land castle-knight's helm. Simply add a big plastic molded feather plume on the top and you have got it down cold!

What the hell is this? Do wonders never cease?
