Re: Chainmail Recommendation Please

As to keeping a shirt rust free, there are several ways to do it, but the easiest is to use Tuf Glide. Put the shirt into a bucket and pour Tuf Glide over it. After making sure the shirt is fully drenched and coated, add sawdust until it is a slurry. Leave it for several hours or overnight and dry ...

I agree that the face has a visored sugarloaf feel to it, and I'm hoping that someone familiar with effigies and manuscripts comes up with a reference for it. The GDFB folks sometimes do things a little strangely to keep production costs down, but to give them credit they do use historical reference...

I think I remember seeing a helm like that that had the face-plate reversed and used more as a crest, while the rest of the bar extended into a nasal. Not sure if it was meant to be like that though. That's by design - the face guard on a Polish zischagge can be flipped/adjusted to be worn either w...

Been considering these, but I'm a bit larger than your size estimate. (6'4", 250). Can you take measurements? What do the legs weigh, and do you think the crosses can (relatively) easily be removed?

Can you make these in 2mm (or thicker) stainless steel, and can the faceplate be dished deeper for more nose room?
