Knees and Elbows from Samuel de Grace
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2012 9:42 pm
Hi,
This evening I was able to buy two pairs of mild steel articulated knees and a pair of floating elbows in aircraft aluminum from Samuel de Grace. He showed up at fighter practice with what I needed for armouring the new fighters, with pricetags on the armour.
The transaction was fast (20 minutes from seeing the armour to buying the armour), for prices that are neither to high or too low (most armourers overprice or underprice...mostly underprice), with a minimum of conversation (very direct and focused on the sale) and the big delay was my trip to the ATM for the money. Samuel de Grace gave me the traditional Archive discount and two new fighters in the barony will get new legs out of the deal and one will get new arms. Which is great for me because one of them is wearing my "light suit" and is really enjoying it.
The second set of knees is really elbows for a HUGE armed fighter, but one of the fellows I'm arming up is ~130 lbs and somewhat thin and short. So those "elbows" will make knees that fit perfectly.
With thanks,
-Aaron
