Topic: Why did the Victorians build armour reproductions?
Replies: 11
Views: 25

The "Gothic Revival" style of decorating came in the wake of the immense popularity of Sir Walter Scott's novels. That armour was made as home decor.
Lucky people still find amazing pieces of Gothic Revival furniture at flea markets and antique malls- looks amazing in your tent.

Being a squire is not for everybody- it can sometimes keep you locked into a type of perpetual adolescence. Some people find it difficult to move beyond the idea of being a squire as long as they remain one. I hope this makes sense. If you want clarification- just ask.

The Baton denotes authority. This is why William the Conqueror and his brother Bishop Odo are seen wielding wooden clubs in the Bayeaux Tapestry. This is a very ancient tradition.

My opinion? I think that a Luther helmet is always worth the wait. I have seen quite a few of his pieces and they are all exceptional. Ask to be put on the waiting list, and when the time comes to pay him- do so with glee. Then, put the whole thing out of your mind for a year. Simply forget about it...

The more I understand the authentic, medieval style of combat- the more that florentine seems very hard for me to accept as a possible period style. When holding two crossguard swords it would be very difficult to grasp weapons or "show them the gate"- knock people on their backside. Only the larges...

When I am at the Pas or doing pick-ups I prefer to keep at least three shields close by. This way, I can mirror the spirit of my opponents. When I am roaming the pick-up fields I almost always start out with a 22x22 heater. It really amazes me how many people who are hunting for an easy victory will...

Transitional Armour is popular because the styles that preceed it and follow it have some serious drawbacks. If you want to wear an accurate harness from 1000-1300, you will be forced to wear mail. Only SoFC and Erik D. Schmid sell mail armour that is reasonable in weight and that will take the abus...
