Transcription and translation of the rules and descriptions of foot tournaments at end of the 16th century: http://talhoffer.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/fullcontact-the-tournament-in-1596/ Really interesting information on how tournaments were conducted - Even more interesting than the methodology of "...

Just in time for temperatures to top 105 here the past few days - c'mon, linen, c'mon, linen!

Speaking of Team Quebec - I've seen pictures of a horribly battered helm that one of the TQ members wore in a pro fight against a Russian. Anyone know the story of that fighter and that helmet? Did his head survive, and what gauge was the helmet? (other than "too thin"?)

Therion

I think I need to shorten the haft. It's about 6' long right now and it looks like most period long poleaxes were 5' or shorter in haft. Bardiche were short - as was noted above, their primary usage was as a combination musket-rest and backup weapon. I too always thought bardiche were long polearms...

I will keep watching this space for further news (or if you are making a list of folks to email/pm when they're ready, add me, por favor) - I want/need/can't wait to buy a couple of liners. Thanks!

Is there any way to pre-order/call dibs?

Therion

dibs!

I was one of the interested parties who requested pictures. Nice legs, but not what I currently need.

Museum Replicas has these on closeout, $95, size 12 and 13 only: http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-388-renaissance-black-suede-boots.aspx I own a pair but haven't worn them yet. Stylistically, they are the same as the smooth leather ones that MRL used to offer. A pair of the smooths have been my go-to...

I haven't listed them on my site yet, but I have both the heads and the full weapons in stock. Just took one of them and compared it to four different SCA bar-grill helmets - they do not penetrate bar grills, not even a little bit.

Howdy, folks. This was a month mostly of featured items as I was busy for weeks with the Chivalric Martial Arts International symposium and the Lysts on the Lake joust tournament, but there's some good features to be noted - a lot of relatively rare reproductions are currently in stock: Chinese dada...

Everything you always wanted to know about Saracen armor but didn't know where to look: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Faris-Reenactment-Basar/125284360851648?sk=photos Check out his/their photo albums - a bit chaotic, but there are several that cover Islamic arms and armor, both from an historical ...

However, as I am full time armoring now, I might be willing to sponsor a youngish maniac with the armor he needs to be able to participate. ... nobody has taken me up on the offer anyway If you decide you'd be willing to sponsor an old maniac (who could get a lot of eyeballs on your work), and you'...

Really? If so, I'm impressed (but I'd like to see pics/video before I believe it) (no offense, I just can't envision how to break one)

After an unexpected and unprecedented five month world-wide drought, the longsword wasters are finally available again, and I have a bunch in stock. While not "the perfect tool", these make nice WMA beginner/large group/demo training swords, and they can take one hell of a beating as pell swords. ht...

They are/were 18ga, and as I said, absolutely not an SCA helmet.

Therion

They're most certainly not heavy enough for SCA. They've been discontinued, so if you found one in stock somewhere, good for you!

Insane has covered my 50" fat man/small coat question quite well. What size are you/were you when it was made?

Nice work.

My helmet arrived long ago, finally had a chance to unpack it and try it on:

Thanks, Matt!
