Yep! I'm from the panhandle! Berkeley Springs, Morgan county. Tiny little place.
Hhmmm, sir wolf, if I may take a guess, are you on MyArmoury? Chuck Russel perhaps?
And thank you for your kind comments regarding my kit, it took a lot of effort to finally get a kit that resembles something from history.
And the goal was a swiss mercenary from the 1470s. I wanted it to look not like plain vanilla knight, but something still heavily armed.
And yeah, the jack chains are a great piece. I really wanted to represent a number of rare (but things that historically were common) things that are ridiculously under-represented. I'm glad that I actually managed to impress a guy in such an awesome kit, you see so few people doing riveted Flat-ring chausses at the faire (or even at reenactments!) also
And Paladin, I'm sure that we'll catch each other at the faire, and I certainly hope that we do. And I would recommend the jack, it works as a stand-alone piece, under a cuirass, ties jacks, and possibly most useful of all, has SOO many points for the attachment of arm harnesses and pauldrons!
Sir Brian, the pleasure was mine. Ahh, it's so good to meet in person people (and especially in groups!
) who share a passion for arms and armour and all things chivalrous! And Ill tell my friend (who also happens to be named Brian) you appreciated it! And No problem, always happy to help out a fellow enthusiast! Especially when It might lead to someone commissioning another order form Allan, who I'm sure needs all the business we can give him!
