Cajun, I know alot of re-enactors and such take pride in playing nice and not "breaking" other people's toys in combat. I am trying to understand why you want a blade specificly to "break" someone elses blade. That is unless the show you're doing requires it for asthetics. If you don't mind, I am ve...

The only execption I've seen here is the person throwing the blow tells the now armed opponite it is ok to trade arms. Otherwise, ya show it, you loose it < somet...

If that brig is anything like Master Glendor's gauntlets, they will be very good indeed.

I ordered a set of SS cops from them < arms and legs >. It is as they advertise, rough from the hammer. Items are plannished, but the buffing, polishing and some of the edge work is done by you.

Your Exellency,

What style are you using for your lamella. The 1-1/16" by 4" with 12 holes < 20ga ss > or White Mountain Armories D style with 12 holes?

I am curious.

According to his web site, he can make any type of shield as long as its a flat one < as of right now >.. apparently he is working on a way to get them curved. Not sure if he makes them for the wars or not though.

I have a set from GAA. Not bad, they do have slight ridges on the inside. The ridges acually hold the plates together rather well even if the cording is severed. Just used my vest this past weekend, worked rather well. You will get dents in the vest though, they do ,however, form back pretty easily ...

Sixtus_Goetz

Lamellar? Will take a bit to cut them all out and drill them. But hey, it looks real pretty when done. CoP would work also, most I've seen was 16 ga galv mild for plates, 18 ga would be about equivillant and give you a weight break.

Flail? He may not beat you. But I'm sure you'd feel the blows.

I highly recommend GAA's gorget's also. The "light" gorget is perty spiffy.
