Armor SWAG values?

[Russ Mitchell]

I need about 400 bucks I'm not going to get. Plus, a 6mm aventail I can't afford yet.

That's okay, I'm happy to be patient, but as I'm putting together very specifically Hungarian kit, I was looking at a scale armor (the one I recently posted about), and a banded lamellar, and was wondering... what are these suckers worth?

Am just trolling for some general guesses, b/c ultimately, it's a buyer-seller thing, but what would folks expect to pay for this stuff?

Remind me to show you my nephew's new armour when you come to visit.

full sewn together rig of steel lamellar? About $300 or so.

What the market will demand, for good or ill.

[Russ Mitchell]

Yeah, Aaron, I'm just curious about what the market generally agrees on. 300ish for lamellar is a figure I've heard before, though most of the ones I've sold have gone for a bit higher -- then again, there are more people doing them now, too, and I do some additional touches most don't. (tooled and painted shoulder straps, that sort of thing).

How about scale?

You're on, Karl. PM me your phone #, if you would. And if you need stress relief during the cooking-fest, you're always welcome to beat on me with a stick.

My scale hauberk from Torvaldr cost me @ $400.

Okay, Audax, thanks. What about in iron?
