As for the my helmet, this is how it was made step by step.

This picture shows remains of the original from 5th century: (it's amazing how beatiful helmets were made in 4-5 century followed by 6 and 7 and then boom, early Europe with nothing else than simple piece of iron without any decorations, nothing.



This in concept draw:



And this is how it was made more or less:











To the very end:

And the last one, this could be literally a poster of some movie:
"Damianvs Albvs Movie" - fall 2016 :lol::lol: (Damianvs Albvs is my latin name ;) )

Keeping your own horse is like 15-20,000 euro / year.

Can't afford that, yet :sibHyena:

Daddy AF. Very cool. I'm trying to get some world war 1 and 2 reenacters for a film production. So far they have been a pleasure to work with and show a passion for their character that you wouldn't be able to find in a D-list actor that would normally fill the role.

You have to watch out. In Poland we have FB group called "DeHa" which means "Dopierdalactwo Historyczne" which could be transleted into hmmm let's say "Pointing out fucking wrong history".

Point is I saw many WW reanactors who looked very very bad. I mean, for a someone who is not into this theme they look fine but for a people like me they look completly wrong. Wrong belts, wrong shoes etc etc

So when you pick some reanactor take a ver careful look at their equipment ;)

Hunting with a bow instead of rifle counts as poaching in most countries, even if you are a licensed hunter.

Well, maybe I did not understand you but you said something about fight and dent - therefore I said that any dents in metal maybe by sword/axe/whatever are not very accurate becasue blacksmiths may work in a traditional way but they don't have traditional materials.


The harnesses used in modern competitive jousting are not historical reconstructions, and there are no compromises for historical accuracy if that would put someone at risk. They're hitting each other as hard as they did for real, and while I'm not aware of anyone being killed doing it, yet, there have been concussions and broken bones.


Have you seen "Barbarians Rising" a small serie by HISTORY? Garden me, if they hired reanactores, they hired the worst possible ones.


True enough, that was bad. It rather varies by period; American Civil War re-enactors are used a lot.

Well, if weapons were sharp we would definetly see some deaths :P

As for me, I prefer to battle with wooden sword if I'm into big battle, where I don't know people.

As for the steel sword/spear I can go for it but only in duels where I know my opponent very well and I can trust him. I mean, it would be really bad to lose an eye by some stupid, missed thrust which bounce from the shield, straight into your eye... :hansRNG:

Well, inasmuch as modern jousting is a recreation of medieval jousting, it was not mainly combat so much as a combat sport. So even historically, the lances were designed to shatter, a dramatisation of the kind of thing that might happen in a real battle. But both then and now, this is still a full contact sport, and so injuries happen, like american football or rugby, at least.

Not sure this is an actual injury, but here is some footage from Leeds Armouries which happens to show someone taking a bad strike:

Well... They are in full plate. I'm fighting with greaves, shield, helmet (they supposed to cover entire body in formation) and that's mostly it, so I'm a bit afraid of myself during battles :P

If I had full plate, who cares if I got hit :sibHyena:

Well, one of the ways to be killed in jousting, historically, is for a piece of the shattered lance to penetrate the vision slit and pass through the eye into the brain. And of course people can die just by falling off a horse.

But sure; the full plate is really tough. Which is why I mentioned the dent, because it isn't always clear just how hard they are hitting each other.
