  • munitions grade armour and sword for sale

    I don't know if advertising is allowed (if not just say it and I delete the thread)
    My friend wants to sell his late 16th German black & white armour. The price of the armour is 480 Euros, the sword is 175 Euros alone or 130 with the armour (shipping not included, preferably to Europe).
    This kind of decoration was fashionable from around 1540 to 1620, mainly in German territory, but some Italian examples also exist. The cuirass is articulated as seen on an original now exhibited at the Landeszeughaus Graz. The gauntlets have long cuffs, reaching almost to the elbow on the outside.
    Every piece is handmade from sheet metal.


    Parts: breastplate, backplate, gorget, tassets, gauntlets, helmet, buffe


    Thickness:
    Gauntlet cuffs, metacarpals, backplate and gorget: 1mm/19-20GA
    Gauntlet fingers, tassets and helmet: 1.5mm/16-17GA
    Gauntlet knuckles, breastplate, gussets and buffe: 2mm/14-15GA

  • footwear

    I didn't seen any thread about footwear so I though I might start one.
    And here is a starting question: Is there any trick about sewing on the soles? While we use thick threads they are still wear out way to fast to my liking (although admiteddly I walked way too much on concrete and other hard surfaces too)

    Zitat von "Bernhard Fischbein"

    Hi Sonir! Welcome to our Forum.


    Nice clothes, I think they should do nicely. It would be a pleasure to have you in the Landsknecht Camp next year. I'm sure some more pictures would help, but what I can see already looks great and you should fit in nicely. :) A nicer sidearm or at least a cover for it would be great. But the clothes are very good.


    I will change my sidearm for the next year to a katzbalger or a messer I'm pretty sure about it, with a proper sheat. I just brought the calimacil sword because it's VERY durable.


    also a few more pictures I've found, although none of them too great. As I said the whole thing has a lot of minor problems that fucks up the whole things and doesn't look as good as it could be.


    also, this picture was the inspiration but we changed a few things for one reason or another

    Hi!
    I was the hungarian guy who visited the camp a few times and as others made me promise I plan to be in the camp next year.
    So far this is the best pic I have right now about my gear although some of you may seen it during the game, plus there is the armor which you probably didn't seen much and right now I don't have a really good picture about it.



    there are a few things I will change with the cloths, like I fucked up the lace holes, and didn't have proper laces, and will add a few blue stripes to the lower part of the hose, but that's the general idea.
