Cool site I found

They show all sorts of stuff that looks rather accurate and nice. I particularly like their shields, which look hand made and freshly forged. Their mail is also similar to the stuff I found on that one guys site.

Of course, I'm blocked from viewing it here at work.

I wasn't able to find any prices on there. Do they sell anything? That gear does look nice.

I'm not sure, I couldn't find anything for sale. Wish I could, but even if they did they're based in Italy which would probably make the price high.

I like the armor better than I do the swords.  I've no idea whether or not the thick ricasso blocks on some of their single-hand swords are historical or not, but it makes the whole thing look somewhat like a giant knife.  What I did look at had a roughened look to it, perfectly at home in the belt of a grizzled mercenary or man-at-arms.
