I am looking for full legs, full arms, and shoulders to go in the late 1300 to early 1400's.
I will hopefully soon be commissioning a Pig Face/ Klap Face Bascinet. and am try to put a full and period suit for Live Steel fighting.
Any one wanna help me find someone

First off try checking the "Links" page on the Archive homepage. Then go into "Armoury LInks". It has the URL to MOST of the armouries from the archives, and some more.
You should have no problem finding what you need

Whatever armourer you choose, make sure that you have a clear and complete contract. Look up contract law and information regarding mail fraud, and the responsibilities both of the seller and the buyer.

I do not make armour but I am constantly buying for myself and others in my area. My suit comes from Waldryks Armoury. He has great prices for stainless, good turn around time and excellent communication.

First, determine exactly what you want - 14th C. - complete wrap-around greaves or one piece over maille chauses. Coat-of-Plates, bascinet & overhelm, or pig-face visor & segmented globose breast plate? Full arms, or maille with besagews and gauntlets. Mild steel or stainless? The 14th C. went from full maille to full plate, and all combinations in between. There were also regional differences as well as economic differences.
