"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Hah, pretty cool. I never seem to spot movie props on ebay. Then again, I only have the auto-search set to notify my of Del Tins and Albions. :)

not a bad price. i don't like the welded brim. but with some flair around the weld you'd never see it.

Maybe we should put ebay finds here in one thread. Since they go away quickly, it could easily clutter up the topic list. I think they had the right idea on myArmoury to have one thread for it. :)

You do NOT want to deal with any of those companies selling out of India. I purchased a helm
from them a little over a year ago and the entire ordeal was an absolute nightmare!
Numerous e-mail attempts to get them to even ship the helm to me. Then the helm was
not as advertised...Generally an unpleasant experience.  :(

Oh man, sorry to hear that! But that's good to know. I'm always dubious about ordering overseas anyway, unless it's a known reputable seller (amongst the circles I'd trust anyway).

Of course, buying armour in general can be a real nightmare sometimes. A lot of custom armorers will take 3 times as long as they estimate, and then cut and run at some point. It's one of the unfortunate side effects of having a niche market filled with hobbyists and very few mass produced items of quality.

Hey check out this ebay store. I was considering the mail gauntlets and noticed the
prices on the helms!

It looks like some of those helms might be undersized. Still, gotta love the cheap prices!

Those gaunts look pretty affordable.
