Went to a local Medieval fair in Montréal this Saturday and a friend took pics of me and another friend.

I'm the one in the plate armour with a German Sallet and plackard and most of the the armour is from Mercenary Taylor's and the maille is from " The Ring Lord " welded stainless steel.

Sword is a Valiant Armoury Blunted longsword ( Didn't want to bring a sharp and it looks like a sharp from 5 feet away ).
Boots are from Chivalry Bookshelf, sword belt is from Christian fletcher.

The armour is fairly generic but the helm makes it look mostly late 15 th century German.

Fun but hot and sweaty day but the armour got good reactions from people as most of the other armour people where wearing was very shiny stainless or " Orc " type stuff ...... Oh well people where having fun even if most or many can't tell the difference. ;) :lol: At least my stuff looked like real using " armour " and for some reason people would get out of my way even in a crowd. :lol:

Oh, I'm not that small but my friend Fabien next to me is huge. ;) :lol:

Jean,

I love how it looks! The Merc Tailor armour looks great! I'm really jealous.

Hey, Jean! Looks quite dashing!

I have to ask, what sort of maille is that?

Hey Jean, I was there all weekend too... I remember standing next to you in front of the stage but I didn't recognized you at that moment. Must be because of the sallet! The duellists made a great demo also, like last year. I liked when Yan Robidoux brought up his poleaxe...

I was also able to test the new foam longsword prototypes made by Calimacil with Patrick de Marchi and Jonathan Verville. Pretty cool stuff, the foam is dense enough to behave realistically for blade-on-blade work, yet allow for more vigourous training than wooden wasters and steel blunts. I had a full blown krumphau made at my hands and it didn't hurt at all.

Jean & Hugo,
I was there on sunday, next year we need to meet over mead at the Salon. We could extend the invitation to all forumites, in particular those from neighbouring states or provinces. JC

Nice armour jean. I have been considering thate arm armour that you have on in the picture's. How have they work'd with you? and how far up your arm do they come? I can kind'a see in the picture but was wondering of your input. thanks

After years of lurking and reading (actually from the very beginning of myArmoury) I decided that this topic is most suitable for introducing myself.
I wish to thanks, especially to Peter Johnsson, Patrick Kelly, Chad Arnow, Elling Polden and Bill Grandy for their very helpfull and knowledgeable posts and reviews...
So, here is my reconstruction of a poor Antiochian norman knight/mercenary from the begining of the XIII century. The helm, shield and scabbard are made by myself. The sword is an Albion Knight and the dager is an A&A Aunlaz. Gambezon/Aketon and other clothings are hand sewn (from linen and wool) by my mother. The bow is made by local craftsmen.

Martin, is that the CAS Iberia War Sword I spy?
That's my current sword as well. It's obviously no Albion, but for an eighth of the price I know I couldn't be more impressed.
I posted a shot of mine toward the bottom of page 15 on this thread.
