The Armour Archive

Hello all

Cleaning out my workspace and looking to get rid of stuff that has been laying around for a LONG time. Pics all linked. Keep in mind the pics are HUGE and will take time to load, but you won't be wanting for detail. Payment by PayPal ONLY.

SPOKEN FOR: 16th Century demi-gauntlets and officer's gorget formerly produced by Vistar Armoury (my old shop). 18 gauge mild steel throughout, except for 16 gauge metacarpals. Gauntlets are a bit scuffed up and there's some rust (mostly inside) but the surface stuff has been cleaned up a bit. Used to sell a lot of gaunts like these for cut and thrust fans. Roped edges. 18.5" neck opening on the gorget, 10" opening for the hands. Would prefer to sell as a lot. $65 plus actual shipping costs within CONUS. Huge pics here:

Thanks!

Will take Vendel helm, conical helm, stainless spaulders.

PM sent.

dibs on the gauntlets/collar pending a measurement of "accross the knuckles. I can pay with pay pal

They're about 5" across from the index finger over to the pinky. Please send along your zip code if you want them.

dibs released... their too big

Eric, would you entertain trades for some of the books I have left?

@ Chris- they're a little big on me (my knuckles are about 4.25" across), too, until I put a glove on. Then they fit perfectly. Did you try with a glove?

@ Lloyd- wish I could, but it's gotta be $$$ right now.

Eric, How about $30 + The Ringneck book for the 14th century knees?

I'm just trying to get armour pieces together so that I can continue to do my school shows. I sold off everything and then realized I didn't have anything to show the kids!

Hi Lloyd

I don't need the book, but you can have the knees for $30. Gotta keep the kids happy
