Hello all,

A while ago I found a great link on myArmoury to an arms & armour dealer in Germany. They had (like most) a web shop, but they also had a real brick & mortar store, near Koln in Germany. The sold all kinds of re-enactment weapons, armour, mail, gambesons, etcetera. The forum post on myArmoury pointed to them for their riveted mail. Of course I totally forgot to bookmark it and now I can't find it again :(

I have been hammering away at Google and the myArmoury search for hours. I've tripple-checked my bookmarks, turned my browser cache upside down and followed link after link, but I simply can't find it anymore.

Do you know the store I am speaking about? Can you post a link? It's only a two hour drive from here and since I finally have a saturday that I am free I'd like to go there.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

If you are talking about the get-dressed-for-battle shop in Langenfeld (near Cologne/Düsseldorf), I have to tell you that it does not exist there anymore.... As far as I remember, they moved somewhere to the middle of germany. I own some helmets and chainmail from them, and it's really great stuff.

i have a similar problem. i usually ordered my stuff from the internet, on a website named "traditionelle-events" or something.

ah, there it is http://www.traditionelle-events.de/, but this site seems to have perished.
i remember, the contact-person was a guy named helmut vajc, which sounds somehow czech, and indeed, most of the swords came from czech republic.
unfortunately i don`t know the real names of the crafters, just abbreviations like "jk" "pal" and "pef"
does anyone know these guys ?

or maybe someone knows this crafters mark, i just photographed on my sword.

I would say K + K Art swords, now Armouronline:

http://www.armouronline.com/product/639/eagle_sword.html

Or something similar from Czech Republic. It's a "sword-like object", sword for reenactment stage fights, most of them weigh over 2.5 kg. They were quite common years ago in Slovenia, now only some people are not embarrassed by the ahistoric looks and functionality.

May it be: www.schatzkammer.de (old address). They now seem to belong to www.leuengold.de. The shop address is: Im Dau 1, 50678 Köln.

Good luck.

These guys are close to Köln too:
