The Armour Archive

I have a pair of those in SS and they are F'N sweet. They may be the best armour purchase I've ever made.

I hear ya, but that red one from Chartes was made for a teenage boy who was probably quite slender. It is quite easy for boys to pull of the wasp waiste. Second, that one is displayed on a padded form that accentuates the chest. In use, that globose chest would be filled out presumably by a breast p...

I have one just like this... m In fact it may be the same tailor, but I'm not 100% positive. If it's not then it is an exact copy! It is blue with the red wad buttons, quilted body and arms, etc. just like this pic of Cad. I bought it from someone here years ago but have never worn it. It is brand n...

Munz

I'd be interested in one like the first one. Nice work!

Munz

Sorry, I was into the shoe thing years ago. I just had these left over and was clearing out a bunch of unused and unworn garb and camp stuff. Thanks for the interest, though.

Munz

Sold!

Munz

Oooo... close but no cigar. Wait...npe not even close. Sorry, though, they are nice and comfy.

Here's a pic. I checked the packing slip, it is definately EMS (Early Music Shop from England).

Munz

I can take a few pics of it with my cameraphone if you want. It's a cool instrument. I never played it. I wanted to play it! Just never got around to learning it. Too many dang hobbies!

It was made by Bernard Ellis (deceased). Here is a link to a web site about him. m It is diatonic. Tuned I think to G. Its about 18" to 20" long. Has two drones, one chanter, gut strings and friction pegs. Comes with the case and a tuning key. It is fairly loud but it was designed and buil...

I have a brand new rebec for sale. I have never used it. It is lovely. It is from the Early Music store. I got a good deal on it since the finsih was "slightly damaged". I think they said the finish was uneven and they could not sell it for full price. I have never noticed the blemish myse...

I have a pair of ghillies up for sale on ebay. The auction ends tonight. Just thought I'd post a note here to see if anyone is interested in a nice pair of shoes. They'd be great for any Celt, Pict, or Scott type persona. I made them myself under the watchful eye of Master Liam (Caiden shoe making l...

Munz

Yes, sorry, it has been sold.

Hello - I have a knee length Viking T-tunic for sale. It is in great shape. Nice and warm for those cold war nights. It is made out of grey wool/poly blend with black cuffs, neckline and hem and purple and gold trim. It comes with a nice brass clasp at the key-hole neckline. The skirt is slit front ...

Hey Tim, how are you? I'm keeping my old Mercury with Luther at the Corona airport just across from Steve Lund. Been doing anything interesting lately? Send me an email offline and catch me up.

I have a dagger made by Master Atar from Salamander Armouries. It is a beautiful piece with brass fittings, wire wrapped handle and sheath. It needs a good home. Email me off list if you are interested. efloen@cimarrongroup.com [img]http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid223/p625026b2e4827722957d9...

Hello Again! Thanks everyone for your contributions if you bought one of our calenders. We still have a few left and they will be at Estrella War next week. Please keep an eye out for them if you are still interested in getting one.

Munz

We did an initial run of 300 and all of those have been sold. We did a reorder of 200 and almost 100 of those are spoken for. I have a feeling once a few of these are floating around outside of Caid and people can see how great they look that we'll need to do a third run...at least I hope we'll need...

Actually, It's Duke John of Holdingford. And yes he is portraying St. Michael. My choice for St. George (Sir Luther Anshelm) wasn't available and I just couldn't see anyone else in that role. His Grace's squire Wylkyn was good enough to submit himself to the task of playing Old Nick himself. Just a ...

Luther at Anshelm Arms has a welded stainless maille hauberk for sale. Like new. $800. Call him at the shop if your interested (909) 862-4264. Do not email him, he won't be checking his email.

Munz

Looks like a good fit and good shape. How about adding maille gussets to the arming coat for the exposed areas on the arm and a maille skirt for the lower torso. I'm curious about the helmet as well, do you have one or are you still looking?

All and all, a nice looking harness.

Munz

Sometimes sacrificing appearence even for the sake of a "cheaper way to get on the field" must be nipped in the bud... then stomped on, burned, and have the ashes scattered in the wind! A plastic hat doesn't even get within a mile of the "reasonable attempt" rule.

Munz

The hinge option on the Anshelm bacinets is only offered on a helm he makes and is not designed to just rivet on any hat. He makes each one by hand to fit and no two are really alike. There are two pins on the helm, the latch plate that rotates over the lug, and the lug and hinge itself that is atta...

They seem to do late period (15th/16th cent) pretty well. I have seen a few pieces in person and know some who fight in sallets, legs and arms. The big thing to avoid in my opinion (as well as two of my friends who have owned helms from them) is the bacinet. They ring like a bell (I have seen at lea...

Munz

I still think there needs to be some interest in the time being recreated to attract someone to the cause. The Armeian hillman isn't going to join a late 15th cent Burgundian group if he or she has no interest in it just because it's LH quality. My wife is quite obsessed with the Teke Turkomen tribe...

Munz

Gwen- I'm sure that you do have more cross over from other LH to Red Co than from SCA, probably because they already have the same mindset and don't have to get over the myths about LH. Bran- I just don't think you will find a huge move to LH even if you "burst the myth" of how hard it is to do. Peo...

Munz

Do we have any real numbers or statistics on how many LH, SCA, re-enactment groups are practicing in Europe compared to here? I was not very surprised by Andreas' post. It is true that it is easier to be closer to the real feeling when one can hold an event at a medieval site as opposed to a local U...

On the effigy of Otto von Orlamunde (1340) the spints are on the outside of the vambrace. You can't see his legs, they are covered by his hauberk. Judging the relative size of a man's fore arm (I am of fairly average build) I would estimate the width of the splints to be under i inch, maybe closer t...

Munz

As for extant 14th cent arming clothes, we only have two, and the Prince of Wales jupon is still in question as to whether he actually wore the darn thing or was it made after his death solely for his achiements. I personaly think he wore it. Never the less, I would not turn down illuminated images ...

Munz

Actually the "Arrest of St James" alterpiece (Italy, 1371) shows an uncovered breast plate with exposed fauld.

Munz

I would like to second Tod's Stuff. They are nice pieces and they just look right. I have dealt with him on some utility knives for eating etc. and he was great to work with

Munz

Instead of a rondel, just extend the sides so they reach farther back. That is how Anshelm solved the problem on the set I bought from him.
