>Hi Laszlo,
>I can second Lyonel's rec of the Czech armorers. The Armor Archive is one 
>of my favorite Internet haunts http://www.armourarchive.org/ The Eastern 
>European armorers who show up are Jiri Klepac, Stanislav Prosek, Beathan at 
>Armour and Castings, and a few others whose names escape me at this hour. 
>Alot of what they produce is modeled from native pieces but also a good bit 
>of Western European stuff as well. I see alot of klappviser and pig face 
>bascinets, amazing sallets, Churburg inspired leg and arm harness, gothic 
>gauntlets and they do some truly amazing work.
>I think that along with Mac and Patrick Thaden we can mention William Hurt 
>at Age of Armour and James Arlen Gillaspie. There are a few others but I 
>really need to go to bed.
>And as Eule alluded to, you've got to have a really good salary to afford
