What sort of helm was it?

It seems, from asking around, that at least half of all Oerthan fighters are owed armor, rattan, guarb, or refunds for what we have paid for. It seems that less than honest dealers figure that they can avoid folks this far away. Sad.

Buy it now is about $190. US. and might work for Faire or war armour.

I wear something similar and it has been working out really well as war armour:

Since AA dumped the last 8 months: m Not only has this Mark Priest refused to respond to any of my many e-mails or ebay's but is trying to block paypal's attempts to collect payment. Several good folks here have communicated with him on my behalf and he seems to just be stalling to avoid any promise...

If no one out there has video taped a pas d'Armes lately, what about good still photos or old invitations for venens?

Karl Helweg

I am perfectly aware of how outside of most folks' experience and knowledge this is but let's see if there's a pony under all of this: Our local folks are looking for a cheap used Electric Fencing Scoring Machine. Too old to have sabre could be fine if the price is right. Reels and piste aren't need...

I hope that you all have more to share. As photogenic as a pass are it seems strange that there are so few filmed.

(BTW - we have a pas d'Armes planned for May 12th here in Earngyld)

Since the Ebay auction is long since expired I am swapping for something that might have long term use for someone. http://www.lamortdanslart.com/danse/Manuscrit/Holbein/dm_holbein32.jpg Holbein Notice the contemporary boots, grilled helm, shield shape, and half-basket hilt sword.

m Talbot's has Brass Roset Rivets. Check out your local dead knights in Germany (effigies) and see how many use these on their body armours, belts, and even vervelles. Scary to think about Germanic knights (among others) being into flower power... Maybe these good Gentles on AA have other roset sour...

Before you buy plastic please check these out. They're lighter, cheaper, stronger, better looking, faster, but otherwise just as good.

So does anyone here actually OWN one of these?

Does anyone actually OWN one of these? How weather proof are they? How's there delivery? How big of a bed fits in yours? What are the poles and spokes made of? What needed upgrading?

Karl Helweg

It might help folks if you posted pictures of the Bretonnian boxes for them to see exactly what you have. It's hard to beleive that nobody here has a Warhammer army. Do you have the link to the Warhammer Ancients 100 Years War rules for these?

I was just bumping since someone was asking for period basket hilts. Surely you can make a few more this weekend. So when are you coming up to visit and go fishing?

Karl Helweg

http://bokalosarmoury.com/helms.htm

Maybe you can extort more of his sallet pictures first. At least contact/call him and see what all he has in stock. He should have a bit since Gulf Wars is coming up soon. When in doubt, buy stainless.

Karl Helweg

(bump)

And you keep forgetting to mention that your basket hilts are much less likely to shatter from cold weather than a ToS.

Vis. Karl von Sussen has a few other hilts in stock. There are also Brennus' aluminum basket hilts designed to look like the lames of a mitten gauntlet. I'm pretty happy with mine since I polished it up:

Brennus - While packing we uncovered MANY forgotten things including a box of "Late Medieval Artillery" miniatures. BTW, did you ever find a copy of the Bretonian/Ancients rules?

Karl Helweg

Brennus, are you having second thoughts about the rest of the Osprey and Warhammer yet? I still need a pair of simple rondeled aluminum elbows and could use a few gauntlet-like aluminum basket hilts. I hope to be at the store no longer than Sunday the 5th. Buy them all & I'll throw in the rack! But ...

Karl Helweg

Darmour - thank you for the pictures. You did not say that you made dog locks for $85.00. You should post pictures here too.

Stainless has higher resale value and the next owner down the line won't look like a dented rust bucket.

m Their $200. "NO IMAGE AVAILABLE" welded grill bascinet is pretty nice. The grill sometimes is a little projected above the eyes but nothing a tors & amntel can't pretty up.

If you happen to have any basket hilts left after filling your orders please bring them to NC next trip. I'll talk them up to our new fighters.

Jason, thanks for posting the "Tudor" shoe patterns. I hope that this gives folks a place to start making their own shoes from.

I agree that at least some of the times those little slippers had to have been attached to the hosen or you just couldn't march or fight in them.

Karl Helweg

Brennus, let's talk more about that next week depending on the auction. What sort of merchandice are you looking at? Used books? Used gaming? Painted armies? Osprey books? Thousands of old comics?
