Thanks for adding me to this forum. I'm a long time living history buff, but new to the Medieval era. When I found out about the Days of Knights living history event, I felt it was time to take the plunge into this time frame. I started out with an archer's impression, but was warned by my DOK friends about "Impression Creep." Yes indeed, my impression has crept and now I'm putting together a late 13th - early 14th century knight's impression. I've chosen this time frame because of family connections to several famous knights of that era. I hope to learn much from this auspicious crowd!

Mark, so you've got 1415, and now 1320ish underway... have we told you about how nice 1380 is this time of year? And if you're feeling particularly heavy in the wallet, 1475 is beautiful right about now... :)

Thanks All, I appreciate your kind welcome. As many of you hope, you may get to help me spend some money. But I'm afraid that Dr. Joseph Metz had already exchanged much of my specie for parts of his armory. In fact, just this hour I arrainged for him to send me his spare Rob Valentine helm! Also procured a nice Arms & Armor sword from him recently.

Welcome!
True story: I told my lady that I might have to go 14th cen in my tourney kit to protect me brain better. She said "Where will you find will the info you need?". I pointed here.
-
You'll be very happy with that helm! It's the same one I use. I was giving Dr Metz's helm some time, and probably would have taken it off his hands if it went another week without a buyer. :)

Welcome to the boards Sir Humphrey.
You have chosen a well trodden path from archer to knight. Many new members in our group start as archers but soon see how much fun we have as combatants, it is not long before they are asking for some combat training and making their first sword purchase ;) ;)
