My email is williamfreskynmurray (at) yahoo (dot) com I'd love to see the blued great helm. Actually if you want to part with it I may be interested in the incomplete great helm, always fun to take on a project since I have some time until we'll be back to in person smacking each other. If so send d...

I am interested in the great helm if you can provide details, size, gauge and price?

Many thanks
Will

Understood my brother. I'm 15 years deep on an Adam Berry helmet I use all the time, keep thinking "this is getting near the end of it's life maybe it's time to find something new." Then I see a pic of myself wearing it and just cannot imagine a different kit. For anyone that does this their is an e...

Thanks Sir Victor, hopefully I can resize it for my purposes.

William Freskyn Murray

Thank you sir, I put a bid in and we'll see where it goes. Looking for a helmet specifically for a deed of arms kit so something that will be worn at the Combat of the Thirty at Pennsic and possibly once or twice a year beyond that so if I get a deal on this one I'll refurb it if I can make it fit a...

The liner looks pretty beefy, how much larger do you think it could go and still allow for good 1/2 inch padding (i.e. the stuff from Craig Nadler not blue camp foam)? Interested but I have a 23 1/2 in cranium give or take and prefer to still be able to spell my name after a days fighting. Thanks Will

William Freskyn Murray

Or buy new from Andy Ward wardmetalworks.com stainless steel shipped within days or ordering.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

I too have contemplated buying one and when I checked shipping to Buffalo, NY it was around $22. We have an armorer local that buys all his mail from them for helmets and has not had any quality issues. For under $60 I keep saying this is a "you get what you pay for" scenario but my primary kit is 1...

William Freskyn Murray

Do you know what gauge the steel on the helmet is?

Will

William Freskyn Murray

I will take the remaining 6 if still available. Let me know shipping to 14215 and how to pay you.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

I just spoke to Eigil at AEthelmearc War Practice and he quoted me $600 for a pair of his high back chairs. I think the ones he had with him were ash and the cost went up from there based on the type of wood. I believe the higher end was $750.

Hope that helps

Will

William Freskyn Murray

Sale falls through I am interested just shoot me an email or PM.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

Anyone hear anything from K_Boz? I too sent him money and I am now a few days past anticipated delivery. He sent me tracking info and said should be three to four weeks it's been four and a half and the tracking number still isn't showing up on the Ukraine tracking web page?

Will

William Freskyn Murray

Hey Bishop

I'll take them, send me payment info shipping to Buffalo NY 14215 and I'll send payment out tonight after work.

Thanks
Will

William Freskyn Murray

He can't get on FB either at work.

I flipped it to him, he's not interested.

Good luck with the sale.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

My buddy is interested but can't get on to the archive at work, I'm sending him images so he can see the helmet.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

thanks Kendrick Crescent is about $75 cheaper than anyone else, comes with sod cloth and the second door needed to set it up like a lean to and they say all their tents are in stock. I believe I will be giving them a call in the morning.

William Freskyn Murray

Thanks Harry I'm hoping to have something before Spring Crown in May so shipping from EU would likely be restrictive both time and cost wise. Basically looking for a wedge that is roughly 10 foot wide and 7 foot tall since I'm 6'4". I'd like to dump the 10 x 10 EZ up and camp chairs in favor of some...

Get Dressed For Battle still mass produced padded garments various styles of gambeson and cuisses.

So looking to grab a small wedge to be used as a field pavilion for tourneys, etc. Based on past posts here I have come up with a list of possible suppliers, anyone that I'm missing? Tentsmiths Panther Midwest Blockade Runner CC Sutlery Anyone else? From what I have seen all of the above have good r...

Thinking about my next hat being a visored sugar loaf.

We'll talk at Ice Dragon

Will

William Freskyn Murray

Dom if you're interested I would be interested in talking about your current hat. Defer some of the cost of this one by selling me yours.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

Some tips that may help with your sales
Price is $965+ shipping correct?

Where is it shipping from to help determine shipping costs?

What is it made of mild or stainless and what gauge?

Measurements?

Will

William Freskyn Murray

If you are willing to go simpler check out Ward Metalworks $135 delivered is hard to beat for stainless but they are not the style you are looking for.

I never have issues trying to fall asleep at night, if I find myself restless I just pull out something I need to read for work and I'm out pretty quickly.

Amazing how many times I need one sentence that is buried somewhere in ten pages of legal-eese

For those who import goods into the US, and with our Canadian friends and the whole crew of European armorers who are doing great work it's becoming more common, a change has been signed into law as part of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 also referred to as the CBP Reauthor...

They don't have the flared edge.

Tempting and a definite maybe but not exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks though.

So it is time to replace my knee cops and I want to get matching knees and elbows. Looking for stainless or spring stainless, Soupcan style with or without rondel. Ice Falcon has knees and doesn't list elbows I could find. Windrose has elbows but the knees show out of stock. Cliffside who is local t...

My current pair of gauntlets ended their useful life and I decided to grab a pair of gauntlets from Andy Ward. I printed out the size chart and ordered a pair of medium on Tuesday. Within twenty minutes of me placing the order I got an email from Andy stating that he didn't have any medium in stock ...

William Freskyn Murray

Thanks Matt, shield boss showed up yesterday and is exactly what I expected it to be.
