  Hello I am looking to buy some Chain or plate armour upper and lower (lower in the form of plated greeves.) Can anyone recomend a place I could buy this from and a price that It might cost me. I may not be buying right now, I might wait a little depending on the price. Thank you for your time

  Just a note on chain from India. The metal isn't the best grade used... Bought some Aluminium chain from Allbest as a cheap source of extra rings, and the rings could be bent by hand. By which I mean, without needing pliers. Compare that to the Alumin ium rings from Armchair Armoury ( http://www.armchair-armoury.co.uk/ ), which are about as strong as most of the steel rings from India. With a suit of Aluminium (made from Armchair Armoury's aluminium rings), and a two suits of steel (one from heavy gauge square section washers, the other from bought pre-made from http://www.getdressedforbattle.co.uk/ ) in the house, I'd lay money on the stories of Aluminium suits of chain falling apart being cheap stuff from India, as the suit made with the Armchair Armoury rings hasn't lost a single ring in 4-5 years of heavy use. tl;dr you get what you pay for...

  John P. asked:

  Hi everyone, does anybody know where i can get a lot of black 6mm square section spring washers from at a sensible price, i've used about 50k (if my memory of the amount i was sold many years ago is correct lol) making my Haubergeon and I've run out of rings before i've even started on the sleeves. I can only find boxes of 1000 for sale and i'm going to need a lot more any help will be greatly appreciated?

  Armchair Armoury used to do something like this in brass and aluminum, worth a shot.

  Chris L. asked:

  Advice needed: I'm trying to find a uk supplier of scales for making scale armour/scale mail or whatever you want to call it. https://theringlord.com/ seems to be the only decent supplier available but they're based in canada, and therefore delivery times and prices aren't great. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get scales like these in the uk at a reasonable cost? Loooking for both steel and aluminium scales.
