Visby Coat of Plates for Sale
« on: 2012-02-09, 15:58:50 »
Hi, since I sort of listed this on AA, thought I'd cross-post it here.

I have a CoP for sale, actually.  I'd be willing to let it go for $200 shipping to be picked up by me if necessary.  I am not offering free shipping on AA.

  Here are some pics.  This is what it looks like when worn (model).


Measurements, as this was made for me, it should fit:

Height: 5'10" - 6'2"
Chest:  44"-48" (or more even)
Waist:  40"-44"

I weigh 185lbs and it fits me well w/an IceFalcon arming cotte (thick) underneath.  The plates are 18 ga with rounded and beveled edges to mitigate wear and tear on the garment it is riveted into (as well as whatever clothing you're wearing).  The straps are of black leather with steel buckles and fittings.

PM me if interested as I have not listed this item.  I am looking for a leather brig w/steel plates if anyone wants to trade.
More pics:

And this is the actual CoP, front.


This is to show how the plates are laid out.  Disregard the shoulder cops, they are not present on mine.  Also, my CoP has a cloth backing over the plates to protect your arming wear.


And this is the back, so you can see the strapping and such.


Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Wow that is a pretty sweet CoP and at a great price. So who is jumping on this one? - I fear it would be a tad to small for me.  :(

If you wore it w/out padding it might fit you but otherwise no.  You're a good deal broader in the shoulders and chest than I am, Sir Brian.

It might fit me. It sounds like it definitely would if I wore it by itself. The question is whether it would still fit over the mail. I'm right near the waist limit, so that's where the concern is. I'd have a pourpoint and mail under it.

Armory World, in the Ukraine.  They put a few of their wares up on ebaY (which is how I got this particular piece) but they haven't put anything up since.

If it fits me, I'm totally interested. I'd just have to see if I can fit it with the mail and pourpoint. I can probably put those on and take a measurement.

Alright, sounds good Sir Edward.  The waist measurement should actually read 40" - 44" (the coat doesn't taper toward the bottom really, size wise it is pretty much the same up and down) so let me re do that.

Edited to add: I just came across a pm on AA that was sent earlier...he's interested but I can send him off if you're sure, Sir Edward.

I'd also be willing to trade for a leather brig (that is, the small steel plates sewn into a leather shell and backed with either leather or cloth I guess) if anyone has one.

I haven't heard aught else from the guy so as far as I'm concerned, you've got dibs, Sir Edward.

Sir Edward, this guy's already got his money together, let me know if you're sure, otherwise, I'll let this other guy get ahold of it.  I kind of need the funds.

Sorry for my late response, it was class night last night, so I don't always get back on the forum on Thursday evenings. Yep, as long as we think it'll fit me, I'm still interested. I can paypal it over to you if you like. If it ends up not working with my gear, you could always forward me that dude's contact info. :)

Ok, cool.  I'll let him know.  As for getting it to you...how do you want to do that?
