I'd be in for some nails - about 1,5 brigandines worth, but the slight problem is that I live in the Netherlands; and I don't have a creditcard or the like. I could lure my friends into ordering some rivets too, though that doesn't entirely solve the problem.
Hurrah!

D.B Guerny's is the place to go, and I think Doug is thinking about putting an order together.

If you are wanting to do the brig now and don't want to wait for the nail order you can always go with these.

I got a 5lb box of them for a brig that I was working on and they work great, not period but do they do have a good look to them. If I remember it was Chef who told me about them.
As I said before I am more than willing to go in on the nail order for about 5 lbs just need to know how much and where to send money to. I have paypal if that is helpful. Also, if you go to the Brettuns site check out the trunk site, they also sell brass plated nails used for trunks. The head on them is about 5/16" and you can get the in 3/4", 1' and 1 1/2" shank lengths. They too would look good. Here is a link to that

Hope this helps.
