How much would you pay??

[Wulfgar Davinsson]

Just askin', trying to get a feel for it...

For a complete knee length lamellar shirt, hand cut plates, blackened S.S., laced with leather, front closure, historically based....

Just curious... I've noticed that all my armour projects seem to be lamellar, and I'm making the move to funkier shaped plates... if there was a market for it, I might be willing to sell some...

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR COMMISIONS RIGHT NOW!!!

I just want to know if anyone would buy such a thing.

How about scale cuirasses? Leather lamellar? Combinations of both... as with some examples of Middle Eastern armours...

I guess the actual question is:

Would people pay for completed lamellar and scale armours, or would they rather buy the plates and make it themselves?

I have found that most would rather pay for plates and make it themselves.

While you will get a few build commissions, the majority would be for solely the plates.

since I`m looking at about three stacks of plates and a crapload of cord right now, (found BROWN paracord BTW) I would have to agree with the above posters.
I would like to know how you are blackening the stainless plates though. I thought about a commercial gun blue for stainless but I havn`t looked to far into it yet.

I'd rather make it myself with your plates, but since you're asking, $400.

Found a product (haven't tested it yet) "S.S. Black"....

Will pick some up and give it a shot soon....
