Here is an initial list of items that I am selling, I just received a big amount of armour pieces that I need to photograph and post (helm tops, helm halves, etc.) - [color=darkred]NOTE: All prices are PLUS Shipping.[/color]

[size=18]Clay Moore Klapvisor Helm with Talbot Verveilles[/size]

Brand, spanking new. Made from 14ga mild (for LH purposes) and built so that I could joust in it (occularums are 1/4" and the visor is fixed). It has 15 Talbot large verveilles already installed.

A similar helm can be seen at Lewis' site: HERE

Price: $250

[size=18]16th Century Arm Harness[/size]

1 pair of XL Mercenary Tailor 16th century arms with full couters - $175 usd. These will fit a person with 18 1/2" biceps with padding. 16ga with 14ga couters. I paid $270 for them in the spring. They are used and have had a couple of dents taken out of them, but they give great coverage and are perfect for those with "larger" arms. They do not have the upper turner (it tends to get bent during jousts and prevents the arm from moving properly)

[size=18]GK Armoury Burgundian Gothic Breast/Back[/size]

Burgundian Fluted "Gothic" Breast plate - made by GK Armoury - this set has been altered to accept a buffe and grande gard (included!), thus it has two bolts in the upper left chest area - [u]I am also including a brand new (never attached) extremely ornate lance rest [/u](that cost me $175 usd) and the tassets that I never attached. I used this set during the 2005 joust season and it has some minor dents - but absolutely rocks in performance and look - $525 usd. This will comfortably fit a person with a 52" chest and 46" waist with gambeson. 14ga Breast and 16ga back. I had posted this previously, then one of my squires expressed interest and I pulled it after having a very interested buyer. I lost the email to the buyer – so back up they go.

[size=18]Stainless 3/4 Legs[/size]

1 pair of stainless steel 16th century 3/4 legs - $175 usd. They have wrap plates, but I haven't used them, but will include them unattached. I don't know the maker, but got them from Viscount Leif Greyfox. 16ga stainless.

A picture of my kit (pre-hole drilling) is below. Please contact me with any questions. I will provide pics of the legs as soon as I can.

And post-hole drilling - better shot of the legs:


[size=18]Windlass Sugarloaf[/size]

The rounded shape of the Sugar Loaf Helm caused sword blows to skate off the top, so that the knight had to absorb less of the force of the blow. This was a distinct improvement over the flat topped great helms of the day. This style was the principal helm for the armored knight for many years. Hand made from 4 pieces of 16 gauge steel by Windlass Steelcrafts. Wt.-5 lbs. 14 oz. Circa 1250.
http://www.mwart.com/xq/ASP.productlg/pid.1704/qx/sugar-loaf-great-helm.htm - stock pic from MWART, MRL doesn't sell this any longer.

I have jousted in this and it has a small crack along the weld at the crown of the helm - [color=darkred]$75 + shipping.[/color]


[size=18]Windlass Open Face Salade[/size]

Preferred by crossbowmen, archers, spearmen and even cannoneers when rapidly developing firearms appeared on the battlefield. Infantry troops willingly sacrificed the extra protection of closed helmets for a better view and more air. This pattern from about 1425 utilizes a tail with a fully articulated end lame to protect the neck. The half visor is tastefully shaped with scalloped cut-outs. An excellent reenactment or dress helmet. Liner with leather ties.

MRL has them on sale for $105, I'll go that a bit better - [color=darkred]$75 + shipping.[/color]

[size=18]Maille Set[/size]

Basic maille shirt and coif. 16ga - 5/8" diameter, butted links. Shirt fits size M/L and the coif fits a size 23 1/2" head comfortably. I has elbow length sleeves and comes down to mid-thigh on a 6' person. It is in very good shape, just doesn't fit me.

Paid $225, will sell for $150 + shipping.


ICEFALCON ARMOUR (from my other thread):

will be soon receiving a SS Icefalcon Custom Placard (starburst fluting) with splinted Tassets and Ducal grade shoulders from a trade with Duke Alphonse (See Thread HERE) That was used it for one Gulf Wars(2005) a couple demos and FP, if you bought it new it would run you 695.00 plus shipping and fits a person 6 ft tall and 48" around the waist with a thick padded gambeson and could fit up to a 50/52 with a lighter gambeson.

If you buyl this as set, I will let it go for for [size=18]$375[/size] + shipping – a savings of [size=24][color=red]$320!!![/color][/size] (NEARLY HALF!!) off of the regular Ice Falcon price.

Or

Placard/tassets: $300 + shipping– a savings of $200!! off the regular Ice Falcon price.

Ducal Grade Shoulders: $100 + shipping – savings of $95!! off the regular Ice Falcon price.

You can see these items at Ice Falcon's site:

[color=darkred]You cannot beat this deal![/color]


Many more items to come - keep checking back.

PM or email with any questions. I use DHL for shipping as I have found the prices to be about half that of UPS, USPS, or Fedex.

I take Paypal (with the 3% added charge to cover their charges), checks, or money orders.
