Oh no, you're right- I'm actually not sure why they haven't gotten back to me yet, so I've just sent them an email saying exactly that :wink:

Though I have at least 1 lb of Le Prevo hobnails on hand, put me down for 2 lbs of these. What is the price per lb looking to be?

Do you have a tally of who's ordered what so far? I will go back to our group and double check who's buying what, and may spring for more.

Robert's order makes 86lbs- so we just need 14lbs more...

Only 14 lbs? Come on guys (and gals) we are so close. If this falls through I'll be spitting nails.

Roman cone headed hob nails of course. ;-) )

As I say, I predict once Matt posts the *actual* price per pound we'll see that final gap close very quickly

Matt, mark me down for 2 pounds also! If the price is good! :roll:

2lbs for me please, I'm sure I'll be making more boots in the near future. And I'd like to pass them on to Comitatus members.

Okay, I should have a final price shortly- it turns out too that the normal shank length on these is 1.25cm (1/2"), not the 1cm (3/8") I'd thought- that's a plus!
