My Kit...14th Century for CotT (SCA Legal)
Lord Chagatai:
those are nice and it is beginning to look good...I for one am glad I am a mongol cause that would just take me to long to armor up...right now I can armor up pretty fast and have very loose fitting clothes, cause I like you need a lot of room!! :)

So I just got this message from the armorer who made my helmet:

Processed Through Sort Facility
ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)"
So excited!
Ian:
Awesome! Just a few days now! Post plenty of pics!

UPDATE: My helmet was sent back to Ukraine and then he resent it when he received in December...this time using "Express Air Mail"
I just received it today. Here is a mini-review!
Okay, so it looks like it was sent via air mail December 9th 2014. It is a great helmet...the shape is even better than I hoped! It lines up on my eyes perfectly and had the satin finish I asked for...
Now the bad parts...
It has lots of surface rust...probably due to being shipped in a bag vs a box? Being wrapped in plastic instead of a textile that would keep the oil rather than evaporating surely didn't help...it has been almost 4 months so can't expect it to not have some rust.
It is a tad tight and I wish the period liner was sewn in and not riveted across the the whole helmet. The weld is a bit unsightly but you have to lift up the liner to see it.
The aventail he told me he was gifting me was not in the package.
The bargrill I paid for was not in the package.
Honestly if I had my bar grill and not quite so much surface rust I would be VERY satisfied...I have to check with some calipers to see if it is the right gauge...also need to see how heavy it is...but looks plenty safe for SCA :)
Now to get a scotch brite pad and go at it for an hour or two...
Here is a link to the pictures I took with my phone (don't worry Sir William I have made it a public album for you :)):

Nice! When will you have the aventail on?
