WANTED: used chainmail coat and full gauntlets.
« on: 2014-04-11, 02:31:46 »
Title says most of it, the only thing not added is I am looking mainly for something not in the best shape. not rusted through, but needs some TLC. partly because of the look (as a persian sellsword who just stripped what was needed from his enemies), but also to save my wallet (seeing as an e-3 in the military doesn't make that much). Remember, functional and heavily used are key. can do paypal if you are willing to send an invoice to my email, and if you are in southern NH I will be willing to come for it myself. hit me with what you got!

Well, I don't have any maille to give, but just to make things less broad, what style Maille are you looking for?

Excellent question Sir Aiden. I was looking at unriveted mail to start off, full length hauberk with short sleeves. again not looming for expensive materials (like aluminum), so just a basic chain mail metal would be good, so I can get started off. as for gauntlets, a simple clamshell or milanese glove style should do nicely.

I have some aluminum clamshell gauntlets that are lightweight and protective and a bit battle worn but not beat all to hell; I could let them go for $50 + shipping.

I've got a riveted maille hauberk with shortened sleeves and a matching coif that are up on the block but that might be a tad too rich for your tastes.

For sca combat you definitely want riveted maille...butted usually doesn't do well with the blunt force...

Ahhhh. Another forum person in New England. I'm your man in Massachusetts here. I got some old stuff to let go as I am cleaning house. Talk to me. :)

I have a mild-steel butted half-sleeve maille haubrek that has some small battle holes but in great shape. I have replacement rings for it just never patched. I have some plate stuff to get rid of too. Full legs, 3/4 arms (battle worn), one Pembridge style Great Helm (battle worn), etc. I have to sort it but I will let it all go cheap if you want any of it. I'll give it free if you pick it up. Most of it has been used in blunted steel battle tourneys and held up but some dings and battle wear. You can look and take what you want but I want to get rid of it.   

I need to clean out my apartment of lots of stuff. Wife is all over me but needs to be done.

Lord Dane, where are you situated in Massachusetts?
I would be interested in the mail and possibly other tidbits.

Don Jorge, I appreciate the advice and normally I would not go into butted mail excelt for the simple fact that I cannot afford the riveted mail at the moment. Just call this a starter kitin chainmail armor.

That'll be a stretch f.or me seeing as I am flying from SC to NH on route transfer to Korea. list what you got and I will send you a pm for qhat I would like and drop you my email in case you want to do PayPal. I'm in the Bedford border area, otherwise I would have said hell yes to the drive. Sir William, I would still like those gauntlets if they are still up for grabs.

This is the butted hauberk I have, It is 115 now, I bought it for 150.

But I don't know if the cross will interfere with the persian sell sword. You could just wear something over the chest.
Haha, I am reading the comments and someone said one of the pros of it is that it is Authentic.
Poor misguided Child.

As for gloves, Here are some decent priced mail gloves.
Riveted for 75

And some butted for 45.

If your looking for plate Gauntlets, Or just more than just mail They are usually very expensive and finding used ones may be a challenge.
