For Sale: SCA combat armor / generic plate armor

Post by Knight Sir James »

Selling my old SCA combat kit. I haven't done SCA heavy for about 10 years now, and have no plans to go back to it. I'd like to sell my old kit to make some space for other stuff.

I lost the original cuirass in a flood, and replaced it with a generic piece I found somewhere online around 5 years ago.

The pauldrons, arms, and full legs are by the long defunct "Armor Store". I got them back in the late 90s.

The pauldrons are somewhat 16th century. They have 1 upper lame, and 3 lower lames. They article on leathers.

The arms have the 16th century style "full wrap" couters, without a wing. They have a fully enclosed upper and lower cannon - the upper is solid and the lower is, of course, hinged. The edges are rolled at the cuff and at the inner elbow.

The legs are 2 lames above the knee, and 2 lames below. The greaves are fully cased, the cuisses have a wrap plate on the left side that I made (I liked great sword and generally stood left leg forwards). The wrap plate could be taken off by removing just a few rivets. It's a full wrap plate ("footman style"), not a 3/4 ("horseman") style. They have an ovular shaped, creased fan. They also have leather tabs at the front to attach to arming points.

The sabatons are what was left after the flood. The heels and toe plates were ruined, so I took those off and planned to replace them.

The buckles and straps are by Christian Fletcher from back in the late 90s before he was big in the swords community. The exception is the buckles and straps on the breast and back, which are some generic junky roller buckles.

The finish is a bit rough and it has a few spots of surface rust. I will get them cleaned off before shipping.

I paid around $1,200 for it, with the original cuirass (which was just a breast and back). I would like to get around $600 shipped. Make some offers.

As a general sizing, I'm 5'10 and 225 lbs and it still fits me. I'll have specific sizing info for it posted tonight.

Measurement info:

Breastplate:
21" across at armpits
19" across at waistline
15 1/4" from flare crease to neckline
* The fauld is 2" at the sides and spreads out to 2 1/2" at the center

Backplate:
23" across at armpits
20 1/2" across at waistline
14" from flare crease to neckline
* The fauld is 2" all the way around

** The breast and back will fit a pretty good range of girth since they can overlap a little or a lot; the most important part is the top-to-bottom measurements since that affects how you can sit / bend / look down.

Pauldrons:
8" circumference (lames)
17" across from front to back (the large plate only)
3" from top to bottom (the large plate only)
10" from bottom of lowest lame to the very top (when sitting normally - not compressed or hyper-extended)

Arms:
15 1/2" diameter (rerebrace)
7" from center of elbow cop to top of rerebrace
13 1/2" diameter (vambrace) at largest part
11 1/4" diameter (vambrace) at the cuff
10" from center of elbow cop to end of the cuff

Cuisse:
14" from center of knee cop to top of cuisse
22" circumference w/wrap plate (left leg)
11 1/2" circumference (cuisse only)

Greaves:
13" from center of knee cop to bottom of greave
16 1/2" circumference at calf area
15 1/2" circumference at the bottom

Hope those help. If they aren't clear, I can try to get pictures with the measuring tape on them; tough to do at the moment since I'm taking the pictures solo. If there are any other needed measurements, let me know and I will take them.

I would like to sell it all as a single harness before splitting it up, since shipping it all separately would be a hassle and more expensive, but if it hasn't sold by the end of next week, I'll post prices for pieces separately.

I am certain it is 16 gauge mild for everything but the cuirass; the cuirass I believe is carbon steel, but is not hardened. I think it is 16 gauge also, but don't remember for sure (I bought it 5 years ago or more).
