Vervelles ~ How many to install?

Greetings,

I am in the process of deciding who to order Vervelles from.... however, before I get that far I was wondering if anyone out there in armourland could help me to decide how many of these buggers I need.

Hi,
I usually install 25. 4 on each side of the face opening and then about every 1-1/4" around the bottom.

Thanks for the quick reply. If I remember right from your site you use something that is commercially available, correct?

If you are trying to emulate period examples, the number you use will depend on the type of bascinet you have and the time period you are trying to portray. The earlier bascinets with tube vervelles have around 10-16, whereas the more conical type of bascinets, made after about 1380, had the stud type shown on the above pic, and numbered around 20-40.

Hi Avery,
The photo shows my hand made steel vervilles. Lately I've been using brass 'Chippendale' draw pull posts from Horton Brass. Not bad as vervilles go. I'm looking into getting vervilles in several styles done in bronze and maybe steel for the tubular type.
