I have that exact same wooden sword with rubber grip I got for Halloween

nice dubs, lets see it user

Buy some normal armor fagget!

...

A being of great power rests his sword upon his shoulder of stone!

The pay isn't great these days, fellow templar

I actually practice HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) not with that, of course, and I also collect arms and armor. I've got an authentic Danish ("Viking") helmet modeled after ones found in the 10th century, and I've bought myself a Oakshotte type XIII for X-mas

I prefer borrowing of Constantinople.

DEUS VULT!

Oh, nice, finally somebody. Some photo of you stuff?

Do you even praise the sun bro ?

if god wills it, user

...

I fell into the "katana is the best sword ever" trap so it was the first sword I got

...

...

African Javvy

Wow, nice collection, i must say.

Some mine

Im the big one on the left, and my pal on the right. Its all my gear though

...

...

Is that a visored bascinet or is that a visored barbute?
either way I'm jealous

This brigantine i won from Ukraine.

Hope you got a bascinet to go with that great helm, and I notice the round tip on the sword. Love the quillons though

Lindybeige or someone like him was talking about visoret barbute are modern mystake. I have bascinet

Ah, well the thing with a barbute is that you don't need a visor with it. HOWEVER we have found a single example of matching barbute and visor
I really like the idea of a visored barbute because it gives lots of visibility when you need it.

love the visor

With plugged visor I cant wear great one, its someting between hound and frog mounth.

You're not supposed to wear a visor underneath a great helm as far as I know. And do you have a pic? A frog mouth/hound sounds impossible but interesting as hell

Infantry frogmouth.

One more.
Yeah, its right, we have them more for trainings that competitions.

Ah, of course. I love the look of the great helm, but I value maneuverability, breatheablility(not a word, but idc) and visibility over protection

I really hate the look of the hound visor tbh

Yes, by that I hate vikings in fights. You must care about their face, but they can hit you with danax directly to your face.

Is this Roman?

Ideally, I'd like a sallet (w/ visor + bevor) and I'd mostly keep it up unless I was being shot at or if I were in a tight formation

No, it's east asian, not sure which era

I dump some photos for fun...

...

>Danish "viking" helm

that's Norwegian. based on the Gjermundbu helm.

...

...

THAT. Those, sallets, and armets are my favorite helmets

Thanks for the information. I see on the left there's a ring for starting an early aventail

Jep, some here.

Chinese, Jian. Cant remember exactly which type, oriental arms are not my area of study.

What OP, you the offbrand version of solaire?

kek

...

Sure

I love how 80% of the way down the picture it's like "jeans, modern shoes" after being "great helm, pauldrons, gambeson, gauntlets, sword, etc."

Yep, in regular training you don't need anything special. Sure, i have high gothic shoes, leather and wool stuff. But who would take it for 30 minutes...

bump

Some specifics?

late 13th - early 14th C helm
mid-16th C pauldrons (ish)
16th C gorget.
12th C tabard.
14th C gambeson
15th C gauntlets
god knows what the sword's meant to be, but looks closer to 12-13th C.

the jeans and trainers aren't much further removed from the 16th C pauldrons than the sword is.

Hey, mate, everybody started doing this in some point.

look at those eyes through the helmet
those are the eyes of a man who has seen some shit
those are the eyes of a man who's lost it all
those are the eyes of a man who's killed people
those are the eyes of a man who watches women and children die painfully for fun
beware those eyes

That looks like it was photographed in Colorado, just a wild guess

...

oh, I'm not in the same league as Capwell, trust me.

just pointing out, not reason to criticise the shoes, when the rest is a mish-mash too.

Sure, I admit it. I am 18 student, can't affort, so by time it will be better.
This is actual.

praise it

BTW really nice gambeson, homemade playing I suspect.

that's some shitty gear there, fam
try harder, next time

...says the weeb with a 18 gauge great helm w/out bascinet he got off amazon

well at least mine's metal, faggit!
cost me $56!

*thy *thine

if my memory serves me, the guy that is got it made for him - its a recreation of a real one in Lubeck.

good attitude to hear. As long as you acknowledge there's always room for improvement, you're sorted.

its the idiots who get a 14th C helmet and 15th C gauntlets, and a 12th C sword and so on, and refuse to learn and replace kit who are a pain. Recognising you're starting and you cant afford it all atm is a good start. .

here's a source for you for affordable (ish) kit I can vouch for:

mail / maille - "Allbeststuff" - indian mail, but riveted, and the right sort of ring sizes. you will not get better value. get some slightly larger for you, and some loose rings, and use it effectively as a sort of blank - cut out excess to get it to fit, put new links in to fit it, and its as good as anything you can buy custom-made, for 1/10th the work

a good mail shirt can be used for 10th to 15th, just going down the social class ladder each century.

they also do coifs etc.

greathelm porn for reenactors:

I ordered collar from here, as you can see on others foto with egges, but when I sewed it to padding, I cut them off, couse they would destroy wool on brigantine. Thanks for post.

to avoid the edge being snaggy on a brig, you can buy loose brass links from this guy, in bags of 1000:

really good bloke.

trim of brass links is 100% authentic. add one or two lines of those to the bottom of a standard and it'll look far more flashy than it should for the price.

have a brig by ASH - Armour Services Historical. brilliant stuff, but pricey.
