Nice! Where'd you get them from?
I got them from "Swords Of Might" (swordsofmight.com); the site looked vaguely familiar and I think I've bought a SLO or two from them before in years past, but never armor.
Good experience, overall. They didn't take paypal, which is a bit odd. I put in the notes "please send shipping/tracking info when available", but never got an email about it, or even an automated email that it was shipped. I found out if you created an account, then log on and look at order history, it has tracking numbers in there. It all arrived undamaged and in about a week, so no complaints. The klappvisor was about $10 higher than KOA, but the sallet was about $10 cheaper, so it was a wash. The main reason I got it all from there is KOA didn't have the great helm.
Sweet! Love the clap visor!
Thank you, Sir Brian. It's part of my "Sir Brian" kit; 14th century german splinted leather.
awesome, which sallet is that
It's a GDFB with the lifting visor and bevor. And it's the most perplexing helmet; I know GDFB is a european company, which I thought maybe they outsourced to India? But the box it came in had a sticker that says "Made in China"; same box that had the GDFB stock # sticker on it.
Huzzah and well done, Sir James!
Thank you.
Nice. Now you need the kits to go with them all!
These are progress on existing kits without helmets.
The klappvisor is for my splinted leather gear (aka the "Sir Brian" kit, since I've shamelessly taken a *lot* of inspiration from his kit). The sallet & bevor is for my MRL gothic kit. The great helm is for my early period mail kit.
Somehow, I can't find 9mm brass riveted loose rings now. I was going to do brass edging on my mail to match the brass on the helm, and use it for a crusader/templar kit. KOA and IceFalcon don't have them, and my google-fu has found nothing, and I have no bookmarks for them either. I'm hoping I didn't dream them up.
