The Armour Archive

I have some of the spring steel armour from Histpric enterprises that I am very happy with. Problem is, he doesnt do in stock pieces anymore and I'm wondering if there are any armorers out there that do spring steel and have a quick turn around?

Thanks for any info!

Patrick Thadden is as fast as custom gets, more important he likely has an open queue, Mac and Hedgecock were booked when I was looking for legs a few months ago.

what is his contact info? Are there pics of his work?

Thanks in advance!

I had a chance to visit Patrick Thaden's shop a couple of years ago and chat with him for while as he was doing a final fitting of some armor for a friend. If I ever get to the point where I can afford my dream custom bascinet, he will be the first one I talk to.

I'm confused, Jeremy...

Their site says they still carry in-stock spring armour, and they had spaulders, arm harnesses and legs in-stock up until fairly recently. They've still got a couple of the spring globose breastplates in stock.

Is this a recent policy change then that you're aware of?

Take care my friend,

Christian

Boss- have you tried Geoffrey the Younger? If he's booked, I can provide contact info for a friend/teacher in TX who's very good and has been playing of late with heat-treated carbon.

Kelson and I are working in 1050 now. We're both pretty booked but depending on the time frame you neede stuff in we could possibly work with you.

Hope to show mine off this weekend.

You'll be able to I kept fiddling with the gaunts so I shipped everything today via UPS next day.
