The Armour Archive

Well my zischagge from Hjalmer arrived just a few minutes ago.
I am exceptionally pleased. </:^)

Hjalmer was easy to get a hold of, fast in his responses. And willing to listen to the ideas I had on how i wanted it to fit/look.

Best of all, it even fits my odd shaped noggin with long nose without problems. Now I just gotta pad it.

I'll post pics here after exams are done.

ps: Any hints or tips on caring for this? I've heard 'sea bag with light coating of oil on the inside' for storage.

My son's kettlehelm arrived and it' ROCKS! The price and service were excellent.

I'll post pictures of him wearing it on Christmas morning.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Glad to hear you are happy with the helmet Dave. I always hold my breath and hope my customers are not upset at me for my crude attempt at armouring. Now I can breath a sigh of relief.

Thank you for your business and the chance to try something different....

(^_^)

Cool -two happy customers. I feel so giddy. Lol...

(^_^)

Hjalmr you should give yourself more credit. Your work is great

Now bout that there pimpin' fee Hjalmr...

I've got two light projects you could finish...just let me send the helm tops.

I got Hjalmr to make me a kettle hat a few months ago. The think is a tank.

I am planning on giving it a finer sand and customising the fit a little bit more.

Great helmet for the $

You know Hjalmr, your "crude" style is part of its appeal to me. Armor ain't s'posed to be shiney! Well... at least you shouldn't be able to see yourself in it.

Well I'm just happy that everyone is happy -well except for the guy who bought stuff from pittbull armour. I'll be over on that thread if anyone needs me. Lol..................

Nice review.

I love it when a plan comes together.

and yet another happy customer set to chime in here, I got the helmet today! all is good, I got a sugarloaf with visor, exactly what I wanted at a price that could not be beat. very happy with my purchase!
Pics if and when I get my cam working.

Bear in mind that Nicholas has inherited my smile. It just looks odd. I was told my smile scared drill sergeants, from the drill sergeants who told me not to smile. That's a good reason for a full-face for my helm.

But he is smiling on Christmas morning, and very happy!

He wore the helmet for almost 45 minutes and asked to take shots to the helm. The "bell" sound is loud and it will be wonderful for "touch kill" when we get to it due to the sound.

When I end up going to deploy again, I'll have two made so somebody and I can do sword-and-buckler work.

With thanks,

Hjalmr should just open his own online shop. Something catchy like Hjalmr Hjelms. I seriously wish I had known about him when I first started in the SCA. Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten my first helm from Chivalry sports.

Hjalmr-
Would you be interested in trying something different. I would like to have a single occular klapvisor. PM me if your interested.

Sure, I would be willing to give it a try. I have no idea what you mean, but I'll try it. Lol..


PM sent.
