Hello everyone. As much as it pains me to do it, bills are bills, so I am forced to sell my old custom House of Wolf armor. Back in the days when I used to fight SCA, and had a great paying job, I had commissioned Dan Houchins of House of Wolf Leatherworking to make all this armor for me. All made w...

Ive done both spangens and norman tops in the past. Would you be needing 2 helms or just one smaller sized one? If you want you can email me ender701@hotmail.com so we could discuss this off the board. Thanks!

Thanks again for the advice and the bluntness as well. While i do have a great love for the field and the art of armoring, I can wholeheartedly agree on the demands for drive, intiative, and determination. While i do hope to one day make a living by armoring, I will always have a second job to fall ...

Hello everyone. This is my second piece for sale, it was initially a prototype design for a dark age viking era inspired helm with brass occular and crest.

Hello everyone. This is my first official helm for sale. Trying to raise funds for an upcoming marriage and applying skills in armoring, taught by Ben Scheiner of Dragon Forge Armory. This will be the first of many pieces I'm finishing up for sale, so keep an eye out in the future! Thanks in advance...

Well done and nice gauntlets. Had a question on the build of these: did you grind the rivet dome heads flush with the brass base metal, or just braze rivets onto the base brass and then pin them flat? Nice design and construction again!

Hello everyone. I was interested in possibly commisioning Sir Brand of the Armour Store in building a mild steel Corinthian helmet, one of his basic ones he offers, and blueing the piece.
