[Ansteorra] looking for cheep armor

Daire, I'm not 100% certain they are still in business, but if you are
needin to get the metal bits for good size groups of persons, these guys:

http://www.valhallaleather.com/

are a good source.  They use a lot of pre-fab (laser cut) and machine
molding versus "honest hand made" stuff, but for getting newer fighters in
armour for cheap...

also, Stonekeep armoury (http://www.shop.store.yahoo.com/spiers-saddlery/)
is in Ansteorra, and they also have really attractive prices on simple
stuff...

Greetings Ansteorra,

Does anyone out there have a source for inexpensive, basic armor for
chivalric combat?

I haven't had to add to my own kit in some time and I'm getting lots of
questions at fighter practices about knees, elbows and helms.  I no longer
have any contacts for people who do reliable and timely work.

Many of these folks haven't been or are going to a War anytime soon.  Also,
some of the armorers there do fine work, but it's out of the price range of
some of the newcomers.

It would be good if this source could do some group or bulk orders.  It
doesn't have to be pretty, just functional.

Thanks,
Daire de Haya
Elfsea KM
