Congratulations on the acquisition, Sir Brian! That's an identical style of arms to the ones I brought down to the VARF auditions that you tried on - welcome to the beginning of the dark side! 8)

Well yes YOU are precisely the reason WHY I'm buying them at such a great price! >:( ;)

Tempting your brethren on our forum just isn't enough for you anymore is it Sir James?
No you have to go the extra measure of providing 'test' fittings!  ;)

I am picking up the knee cops. They should fit me fine over both my maille chausses and padded chausses. Also at that price I cant go bad.

Well in that case. I'll take the #7 with extra mayo & hold the onions this time. And one hard shot of Jack for my thirst. :)

Indeed, though I feel I may have over-rated my involvement in the purchase. :)

Congrats! Allan can also make a matching set of elbow cops - I'd take him up on the offer. You'll have no fitment issues, floating cops have plenty of adjustability with the strapping / pointing. When you get them, let us know if you need advice.

Ulrich, see if Allan can put arming tabs on them so you can point them to your mail chausses as well as straps around the knee.  It'll help with keeping them in place, trust me.

They arrived today and they fit rather well. They will go perfect with my teutonic knight kit which I am moving to late 13th early 14th century, now that I'm not limited to just the 13th by doing templar. I am very impressed by the quality and it's cool to own this unique piece of armor by Allan, probably the only one who owns fluted ones now.

They're a 5-flute design based on an effigy. Unique and cool!
