FS Merctailor Gorget and Scales

Gotta keep feeding the outstanding commisions machine. I have for sale one of the 15/16th century gorgets we used to make. Made from 16 gauge steel with beveled plate edges and rolled edges where appropriate. Closes with a keyslot rivet and pin closures on either side of the top neck lame. If desired I can install straps for the attachement of shoulder harness. Will fit up to an 18 inch neck with room for the collar of an arming garment. I'm thouroughly average at 5 foot 10 inches, 180-185 pounds, not particulally large just average and this fits me fine. Like to get $180 ( less than we used to get for these ) plus the cost of shipping.

I have also been saving scrap from outstanding commision work and had enough around to make 7 dozen of the scales we used to offer. They're 1 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches long, made from 16 gauge steel with a slight 3-4 degree curve to them. Rivets are included. Like to get $25.00 plus shipping ( they'll fit in a small flate rate box for $7.00 ). I'm continuing to save scrape so i'll probably made a few more of these to make use of it.

Feel free to ask any questions. Paypal, check or money order fine.

Too small for me...but I jousted in Al's gorget for years. It is definitely top notch and a steal at this price!

Tempted to take on those scales...always wanted scale armor. How much leather would those 84 scales cover, Allan? Calling tentative dibs on the scales.

That's ok I'll just tell my son it's your fault he can't have nice armor.

I'll vouch for the gorget. I received mine from AL last week; it fits great, the keyhole closure is fantastic and the pin closure on the neck lames is a very nice touch. It is VERY worth the money. It's a very "form fitting" gorget and doesn't have the "flying nun" profile that I've seen on other gorgets, where the front and/or rear plates stick way out.

I will try to get a few pictures of mine if this has not sold by Sunday (when I have someone who can take photos of me wearing it). The pictures don't do the armor justice.
