Relist, FS Merctailor 14th c. Style Legs

Post by AL »

I listed these a little over two weeks ago, exchanged emails with the " dibber " took extra photos and have not heard anything from them in a week so i'm relisting these for sale as the cash was intended to pay my school tax bill due tommorow which will obviously not be getting taken care of now. I'll be handleing " dibs " differently from now on as per this thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=153717

I did a pair of legs a few years ago for a student of Roger Siggs at Rocky Mountian Sword Guild, liked them quite a bit but never got around to adding them to the catalog when they were open. They are made from 16 gauge steel, with an outwardly rolled top edge of the cuisse and beveled plate edges where appropriate. The crease of the wing on the knee copps has a little decorative file work and they come with hand made buckles and steel holders with light decorative file and chisel work. There are leather tabs at the top of the cuisse with two sets of eyelets for pointing. The pair has full length medial ridges and double wrap plates on steel hinges. These have plenty of hyper extension. The original pair didn't have wrap plates but I liked the way they looked. I was the model for them and am thouroughly average with 23 1/2 inch thighs ( the hinged wrap plates allow for size variation ), 17 1/2 inch knees and measure 33 1/2 inches from the bridge of the ankle to the point where the thigh bends at the pelvis and they fit me fine. I'd like to get $230.00 for plus shipping ( which is less than I charged for the original pair ).

Feel free to ask questions. Paypal, check or money order are fine. I will need hard commitment to buy within 24 hours of " dibs " or they will be offered to the next person willing to pay for them.

If you're looking for new knees, these are the ones you want.
This is a great price. I just bought a set of these from Al that arrived yesterday (so I haven't fought in them yet), but they look gorgeous--the detail is fantastic, even down to hand-made buckles--and they fit perfectly, I foresee no problems whatsoever with them.

Let me know what angles/type you want. I have an identical pair and happy to take more photos. There's some on my site here:

I fight in a pair like these. They work great and I forget they are there when I have them tied to a c-belt. Buy them, you won't regret it!

Rev, I recieved a PM from a fella on Myarmoury late Tuesday night a few hours before your posting that has these as tentatively spoken for. I'll know by this evening if he's paying and will let you know if he pulls out.
