Title: MRL? what the heck?

probably the best 2 helmets (period wise) they have and they have them on closeout? I swear every time they get something halfway decent some one in the company must tell them so they sell out and stop carrying it.

Well, crap! I might have to order something. The bascinet w/ mail would be nice to have. I just need to decide if I want the pembridge style great helm too.

Yeah, I'm starting to like a lot of the 14th C stuff, except those houndskull/pigfaced bascinets. I'll never like those! :)

I ordered the set of both helms so they'll work together. Also the mail gaunts with the splinted cuffs, so I can try hacking the cuff and play around with the mail hands.

I noticed that the padded arming caps are being discontinued too, so I ordered another to have a spare.

I'll take one in green or black!  ;)

I remember when they first started selling those! It wasn't all that long ago, guess they lost their
cheap supplier.  :-\

Now you can't find that helm ANYWHERE.  Except one place...and it is MINE.  :)

Did you buy these helms?

I'm getting the Pembridge, not the bascinet.  I wear a maille coif so who knows, maybe I won't need the bascinet.  Even if I do, I don't want one with an aventail on it...I am pretty sure it isn't historically authentic to do it that way.
