Anyone know the website for the folks that sell rubber warhammer heads?

Yup, I believe it's Keystone Creations

Yup! Thats the one. Many thanks.

Has anyone used these in SCA combat? If so, how well do they hold up?

Ditto on the Poleax heads. Lovely, but will it self-destruct?

Also, any word on whether rubber heads on pole-weapons are illegal in any kingdoms? I recall someone mentioning that once...

The owner/operator of Keystone was the earl marshall of Caid. I think he designed then in accordance with Society wide standards in mind. There could be the odd case of a kingdom not approving them but I would find that doubtful. I know some kingdoms want the entire rubber surface to be covered in tape, though. As for how they hold up, I have the hammer head and it has taken quite alot of abuse and is still going strong.

Thank you, Munz. That answers my Q.

Midrealm's gone to Society-wide standards. so these'll be okay. I really like that pollaxe - maybe on a 6' stave with a thrusting tip?

I have a six-foot bec-de-corbin using one of those heads. It's pretty devastating.

Templar Bob,

Devastating-
1 : to bring to ruin or desolation by violent action
2 : to reduce to chaos, disorder, or helplessness

So are you unbeatable whilst wielding the aforemention Polearm, or does it hit like a Mack Truck on steriods???

I have entertained the thought of picking up one on these heads but the general concensus is that they hit HARD. Can you confirm/deny this?

Thanks for your time,

RLTW

I was informed that Midrealm has gone to society wide ARMOR standards -not weapon standards. Can you please let me know what information you have to support this?

and please don't tell me to go to the Middle Kingdom pages -I hate going there.

(^_^)

I may be wrong. I'll go chat up my friendly local marshal, Baron Master Calum, who is part of the Marshallate Comittee for Rules and knows the book backwards & forwards.

I'll get back to you Thursday, after I see him...
