Let's discuss: Buying things!

[Jenkyns]

I want to buy a fencing gear.
Like gloves, fencing mask, shin protectors and stuff.
Then I want synthetic sabre, arming sword with buckler, and federschwert. All synthetic.
As time goes by I will buy a steel sabre.

[Ililsa]

A synthetic feder sort of defeats the point of a feder. Just get a synthetic longsword and move onto a steel feder if you're with a group that trains with them.

On a reenactment topic: Some buys I made from traders at the 750th anniversary of Evesham, just for living history stuff. Sorry about potato quality, I took it in bad lighting.

Hey guys, I need some new civil war kit because my old shit is far far too threadbare to justify as usual wear and tear, got my last lot second hand off a guy I knew so first time buying off the internet, where's the best place to get a good sack coat and trousers without bankrupting myself?

Does anyone know of a website that sells authentic glasses for the Napoleonic era?

[Wolff]

maybe frank van der wegen is the guy to ask. i just don't have his website in mind.... maybe duuring or vince can help?

just came back from the "5. Internationale Reenactor-Messe Minden"  (International Reenactors Fair). A nice thing though it was mostly medival stuff to sell. I bought a shirt from cooper's choice and a book - so no big deal

[Duuring]

I think Frank pretty much cleared out. At least, I remember him telling us that before Waterloo.

Well, I finally bought a gunsafe about 2 months ago. Sort of reenactment related, I guess.

[Olafson]

Hah, stupid dutch laws.

Germany superior. HEIL MERKEL!

[joer5835]

Fun fact, I ordered the safe from a German manuafactor.

But now I have to wait 8 weeks for the police to come around my house and check to see if the safe is properly fixed to the wall. Gotta love dem bureacracy.

[Olafson]

Hah, stupid dutch laws.

[Colonel Howe]

Hah, stupid dutch laws.

[Salcos]

[Wolff]
