 I'm greatly flattered at being mentioned with these two good gentles (esp.

good idea. There is also several "SCA" armourers who will be at the War,
such as Mandrake, Crimson hammer, Ice Falcon, Red Falcon etc.....for basic
stuff, they are all good quality, good price, and,well, good armor, if not
extremly period or artistic.
