Wow Klang. That's historical. I think from the old pics. in the books. paintings and such.
Is that brass?
You will be an armour type guy after all.

Thanks Hal, it's Sinric's pattern. I did add that spagen strip down the top.
It's not brass. Just some 20ga mild that I attempted to give a gilded look. The pics aren't good enough to see the burnish texture I tried to give it.

Looks great! It reminds me of my first helm, but it looks much better than mine did. Keep up the good work.

Hey Ashi, thanks
I didnt bother to do a whole lot of planishing on it. I figure Motan and Batu will give me a new set of dents as I learn to fight.
Did you ever get to finish your new rig? That yellow and red is going to look sharp when it hits the field.

What kind of rivits did you use for the hinge?
