I'm not a 13th c. man, or else I'd seriously consider this. But I know some of you guys are. :)

Yes that is a very nice one!

William Hurt does great work but I think he is just a little bit overpriced for me.  :-\

I love his splinted cuisses as well!

Very pretty! I love the fact that he pre-drilled the holes for attaching the liner. I like the angles of the face as well. I need to save my coins for Pennsic, but I may keep this in mind.

i dont think he's over priced. he's an artist at a trade that has been taken over by the India(n)s. he does a 100% better job than most people, and its made correctly. there are a lot of sneaky tricks to the trade to get things to "look" right but aren't.  i would love a piece made by william if i had the cash.
