Quote:And now the question about the effectiveness of leather scale armor is answered at last. Thank you. :wink:hmmmmmmmmmm
years ago when i were young and wore my cuir boille to a dress up party i was attacked with a a kitchen knife by a drunken chef and we were all quite surprised at how easily it went through my scales
and we sobered up just a tad
and on the what is the lino made of (with the current discourse favouring leather) i made a leather one years ago but felt that it was not tough enough when i fought in it as blows were transmitted right threough it, however, since i rivited a failied iron cuirass inside it- in a sort of makedonian echo -I feel invincible.
just a thought
regards
