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

Good question. You can mail it to me, or you can hand it to me in person the next time we meet up. I'm not in a hurry. I know you need the cash, so I'm happy to send you payment up front.

However you wish to do it is fine by me, Knight Commander.  It is already boxed up so it wouldn't be too much for me to have USPS pick it up and bring it to you.   I don't want to hang onto it and start having second thoughts!  lol

PP is (REDACTED)@yahoo.com, do it as a personal whatever if you can.

Uh yeah, I meant to post this 'OTHER' video... I found and posted the first one with a 'blind' google search that I couldn't view because I was at work and they block streaming video!... SORRY!  :-[


Oh and lay off the beer and donuts just to be safe! ;)

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.

Wow, I'm not on the forum for a few days or actually weeks I guess, and I miss all the cool stuff. Congrats to Sir Edward on snagging a sweet CoP. Sir William, if you are interested I might be able to set you up with the guy who made my Brig. Mine was copied from an example he saw in a French museum. I think he still has another one that's different from mine but that should fit you. If not, I'm pretty sure I could make one.

Sir Matthew, yours have the steel plates sewn on the inside, right?  I'm interested.  I tried on the CoP and just didn't like it.

Mine has steel plates riveted and sewn in. It was originally just riveted, but I sewed around the plates myself to make them stand out a bit. If you PM me you email addy, I'll pass it on to Bear and get him in touch with you. If you want, I think I have some decent pics of my Brig I can put up on FB and if not, I can certainly take some to give you an idea of the workmanship my freind does.

Sir Edward, you have a delivery!  Got notification 9:30 this morning which is cool, since it only got picked up 4pm yesterday at the jobsite in Bethesda.  I imagine if I'd used FedX ground or UPS, it might've taken a couple extra days for the package to wend its way to their central hubs out in the midwest before it made its way back.  lol

None, yet. :)

It arrived safely! Wow, no more concern about it possibly being too small. Actually, quite the opposite. I feel like I could wear a Santa suit under it. Hah! I haven't tried it on with the other armor yet, but I think it'll still be loose. I may have to play around with the strap placement or something, and see if I can tighten it down more. As it is, right now I could wear it over the breastplate, I think. :)
