Hey Bill,
I have two of the MRL Bec's and have used them against a MT breastplate and early
great helm with great success (just ask Chris Last!). The only damage that I noted was a blown rivet and a very slight tear to the langet at the "corner" where it laps over the top of the haft (and that after multiple blows to both!)
MRL seems to be coming back around to their name (Museum Replicas - not fantasy replicas) and starting to offer better quality reproductions again (still won't meet their initial stuff made by Del Tin and Arms and Armor). But, again, at the price point they are selling, you can't expect the quality you get from Albion, Arms and Armor, or even Lutel.
