New belt with fittings from Armourandcastings

Post by bigjon »

Just got in my fittings from http://armourandcastings.com/ and I was quite pleased.
Ordered on 3-31-10, shipped in about a weekand a half, got them on Monday 5-10-10.
They came in and all were in good shape, I had to straighten out some of the posts for mounting, but all and all I am totally pleased.
5's across the board, even communication was great.

I've got a little more work to do on it, but I like the way it's turning out.
Belt and birka bag were made by me.

Great job with the belt and bag, your Majesty.

I've always loved Armour and Castings...their items are top knotch.

I love the Birka bag. Is that period at all for a man from the 1020s in Denmark? Because I would LOVE a good pouch finally. And the castings are beyond gorgeous!

Ye olde bling!

Looking good. I really like the belt's buckle and tongue tab.

Great stuff Jon! That is who did the casting for my new belt and I love them.

Can't wait to see it in person.
