For Sale: SCA combat armor / generic plate armor
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2012 9:28 am
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.
