FS - Aventail
FS - Aventail
Up for sale is an aventail from Atlanta Armory. Bought this, and when it arrived realized that is would not be suitable for heavy combat IMO. Just asking what I paid for it, $100 plus shipping. It has never been used, or even mounted. It's basically butchers mail.

Re: FS - Aventail
just as a heads up, if that's the welded ring one, I have had no problems fighting with mine,
SCA Payn D'Spencer Of Warboys. Barony of Madrone. Giving hope to the squires of AnTir.

It is indeed the welded one. It's more of an aesthetic issue for me. It looks "dainty" compared to a standard aventail

Check out the historical helms posted here: http://www.myarmoury.com/feature_spot_bascinet.html
I was shocked looking at these by the fineness of the mail. There's a better picture on p 70 of Arms and Armour of the Medieval Knight if you have it. I understand if the aesthetic doesn't appeal, but it is both functional and historical for an aventail, except of course for being machine-welded stainless.
As an aside, i have pretty much the same aventail on my bascinet, and I absolutely love it. If anyone is looking for one, these are great, you should buy it.
