  Helmet Information
  All helmets are custom made to fit the individual.

Helmets are made from 1.6mm mild steel or 1.2mm brass unless otherwise stated.
Iron helmets are usually machine polished to a satin finish and brass helmets to a gloss finish.

Most helms come fitted with a leather chin strap. We do not generally make suspension linings, arming caps or other forms of padding.

Generally helmets are of fabricated construction. Where two or more pieces are shaped and welded together and then cleaned and polished. This is almost undetectable from the outside but can be seen on the inside.
Helmets of spangen or other multipiece construction are shaped and riveted together correctly both inside and out.
Helmets can be raised from a single piece of metal if that level of accuracy is required. This does however increase the cost dramatically.

Natually all helmets can be finished with additional decoration.

  Sword Information
  In general sword blades are ground via stock removal from AISI1075 steel, hardened to 50RWC and are machine polished.

Rapier blades are made from XK9258S and hardened to 49 RWC and machine polished unless otherwise stated.

Blades can however be hand polished at an additional cost depending on the complexity of the blade cross section.

Blades can also be completely hand forged and/or pattern welded, though this does increase the price of the item accordingly.

Swords made with sharp blades will incur an extra charge depending on the length of the blade.

Standard sword grips are shaped from elm. If you would like a leather covered timber grip this is an extra $20, and if you would like brass grip ferrules, these are also an extra $20.
