Gents, since I am moving to VA in 3 weeks, I need to unload the armor that I no longer use and want to give you guys the first look. I do not intend to move any of this armor if I can help it. I will update with prices later, but they will obviously be cheaper for people here. I will also post on the AA, but if you are interested, you get first dibs and it will be less expensive.

List of stuff:
1. Merctailor Custom 14th Century Breast and Back with fauld and tassets - SOLD
2. Merctailor Demi-Gauntlets - $100 OBO - SOLD
3. Merctailor Cased Greaves - $100 OBO - SOLD
4. Merctailor Pauldrons (no haute pieces) - SOLD
5. Merctailor Plate Gorget - SOLD
6. Merctailor Brig Gorget - $75 OBO - SOLD
7. Merctailor 14th Century Arms - $150 OBO - SOLD

9. Windrose Armory Black Prince Pauldrons - $100 OBO
10. Windrose Armory SCA Transitional Pauldrons $100 OBO - SOLD
The windrose pieces are stainless I believe. Everything else is mild steel. Some pieces may have slight surface rust, but all are strapped and none are damaged, and none have been fought in.
The little squares on the photo are all 0.5 inches, so you can see the dimensions right on the photo.

Ooh! Let me see if that cuirass will fit. Been wanting a 14th century with faulds for a "middle" harness, between simple breast and back and the full 15th/16th century style. Can't quite tell from the pictures, do you know what the upper / lower circumference is (chest / ribcage area)? I think I can see height from sternum to floating ribs in the picture. Thanks!
Edit: Those squares are half an inch? Is it 16" from the bottom of the neckline to the flare for the fauld? I feel like I'm not counting that right..
Edit2: Might be in for the pauldrons and plate gorget too, pending price and fitment.

It's about 15.5 inches from the neckline to the flare in the fauld.
The cuirass with the breast and back just touching at the sides is about 44'' in circumference at the waist, and it can get a lot smaller, chest is closer to 46'' and adjustable around that point depending on how much of a gap you allow for at the top.
You're talking about the merctailor pauldrons right? The smallest lame on the upper arm is set up for about a 17'' circumference and can be opened up wider if needed.
The plate gorget measures 20'' circumference around the outside of the neck opening (inside circumference would probably be closer to 19.5''
Price, I have no idea what to ask for, I'm willing to accept any reasonable offer.
-
Cool, those are very similar measurements to what I've got, so they should fit no problem. Interested in all 3 (merctailor pauldrons, yes) and will get back to you for pricing shortly.
-
I forget which part of VA you said you were planning to move to. Does this mean we might get to see you out at VARF this year? :)
-
Norfolk, so pretty much North Carolina... :) And Uncle Sam made these plans on my behalf... isn't he nice? ;-)
I will very likely be deploying shortly after arrival, and after completing some requisite classes, so I can't say what I'll be available for. From now until fall will very much be in flux.

price on the plain spaulders?

The Virgina Beach/Norfolk area isn't too far from VARF so hopefully you'll be able to meet up with us during the first two weekends of June. :)
Do you have any pictures of the gorget or is it the MT 14th C gorget like I have?
-
Yes Sir Brian its the same one you have. There's a link to photos in the original post.

I only saw this yesterday when I happened to be browsing AA, so sorry to have missed it! Great stuff...and congrats on the impending move, Sir Ian.

All that's left is the Windrose Armory Black Prince Pauldrons if anyone's interested, everything else is on its way to new homes!
