Bids for stainless steel jousting armor
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 2:47 pm
I am in the market to have some stainless steel jousting armor constructed for me and potentially, some of my friends.
To begin with, I require arms and gorget, manifer of the early 16thC (1510-1535) in a Greenwich style, like early Henry VIII at the tilt. If these go well, I will want more pieces right away.
Arms are fully encompassed, with turners. Legs have articulated upper cuisse.
If I find an artisan and a price I can bear, my fiancee will also need a full suit minus helmet. Our helmets are under construction by John "Shark" Perry for next season.
These pieces will all be for full contact jousting like this:

Thank you in advance for your consideration
PS Apologies to Durasteel for dropping off the PM conversation about this, yet happy to resume it here...easier for me this way.
