Taking orders. About a 2 week wait.

I am taking orders for mostly helmets. I work in mild steel and stainless steel for helmets and aluminum or even brass for all other armor types.. I have made lots of roman helmets,even with locking cheeks. Lots of Corinthians. Also have made a viking. I have a great pattern for greek/roman greaves.

If you like my work and need some armor it doesnt hurt to ask if I could make would you want.

Here is my photobucket gallery.

I worked in a shop with another armorer for years so I have experience with almost all types of armor.

who is the other armorer you worked with?
if i may ask.
your style is pretty similar to sir brand's
maybe you can step in for people who like that particular style without the unfortunate turn of events.
either way best of luck, everything i have seen so far is darned good work.

Very nice work. I believe he did work with Sir Brand.

Guther has been working with Brand since back in the old Armour Store days. If you like one of Brand's products, good chance that Gunther has the pattern and the skill to knock it out for you.

Like I said a few days ago.

Start looking at getting stuff from him now because very soon you will be asking for a slot in his work queue... A blind man can see his talent.

Gunther,
I really like your work, and i am glad to see someone making Brand's patterns.

Here's an idea. Ask Brand to link to your work and get a website setup. Maybe even a redirect to your site (once you have one). Lastly, don't undervalue your work!!! The last couple of helms were priced way to low, IMHO.

Gunther,
Do you make soupcan knees? any other late middle ages styles?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I didnt wanna say that I worked for Sir Brand for several years because I didnt wanna throw a name around for credit.

I am very good at making a copy of stuff if I have accurate pictures of the item needed.

I will be creating a websight soon but its kinda hectic right now with a war in 1 week.

As for pricing my helmets too low. If i could get more for the helmets I have listed I would try but as a matter of fact I havnt sold anything yet off AA since I started a month ago. I still havnt received payment on that first corinthian I had for sale and it might be put up for sale again. So it may seem like I am not charging the amount I should for things but with the economy being so bad not many people are actually buying stuff,wanting to buy stuff though.
