Yeah, the "Siggy" harness is my all time favorite. I can only dream of one day owning a nice repro like this one! (There's a picture of the original at VAF on the "historical swordsmanship" wall... its the one that has the two harnesses and the names of all the various armour parts)

He's still working...I just got his 15th c. arm harnesses, which he's making more of, thankfully.

Yep - I'll likely shoot some pics of this along with some legs and my brigandine.

But, hey, I've had a lot of years to amass armour...both good and not so good...
