Visby Coat of Plates for Sale
SirNathanQ:
Thank you Sir William!
I see I may have stumbled upon a most fortunate (for my kit anyway!) set of mistakes!

Sir Ed, I have the money for the price we agreed on. The deal sealer here will be the thickness of the plates. What gauge is it?
If it's combat ready, then I'm sold on it :)

Mine for my new kit is similar to this COP in design and style, Sir Nathan. A Visby Coat of Plates Type III with 1.6mm steel plates and a black leather harness with brass hardware & rivots. How did yours fit out of curiosity??

Sir Nathan, as always your kit is so inspiring. I have to ask, are you wearing an armoured/padded hood/coif? I'm in the process of making one for myself right now, the protection given is so amazing, especially for my bad collar bone. Do they have precedence archaeologically? I know there are ton of them being sold and worn, I was wondering if there are period examples too? that would be sweet, it would save me time on making a padded three-piece coif just for my period impression for DOK and such. :)
Also, beautiful COP. My later period 13th century kit will have one for sure. And more than likely I'll even wear it with my earlier period and just "hide" it ;)
YIS

PS my lady is laughing her butt off as we speak since I have no idea what "Knights of Ni" actually is... lol... nevermind lol, I get it now ;D been a while since I saw a Monty Python
Sir William:
By the way, about that CoP - I believe that Steel Mastery is the original builder of it. I think- I came across a set of pics that featured the guy whose CoP I bought (or rather, he had the pictures up on his site) - could be a generic 'share-all' pic as has been seen before but I do believe it to be a SM product. I'll see if I can find those pics again; I saw them and was like 'oh wow, really cool' but didn't bother to save the link.
Edited to add: found it. The pics of the light green one are the ones that I'd seen when I bought it.

That is a beautiful COP. I've been drooling all over Steel Mastery for quite a few years now. Namely:
