Hello
Is there a current list of craftsmen,in the arms and armor trade, around somewhere. Most I know of are outdated. Even the links list here,or the one at Therion Arms, has several that aren`t makeing swords anymore or have disappeared entirely. Any up-to-date lists would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am not sure where to find that type of list.

None that i know of, and I do it for a living!. There are so many makers, traders, re-sellers out there now its a pretty large list. Every month i find a new craftsperson for historical stuff.

The problem with list keeping is they become out of date so easily, esp with the important stuff, contact details. FB groups are probably the best way of seeking people out past a google search.

We could revise the myArmoury list, beginning in the "Suggestions" forum.

It would take a lot to keep it current, and it would need to be a volunteer effort for sure. I would be happy to help out, even to being a glorified link checker and link editor.

I see in my own bookmarks tab there are about 60 arms and armor makers and 25 LH/Reenactment type makers. I'm know there are many many more out there.

Also, it is cheaper and in some ways easier for someone to just have a FB page and no webpage. I probably wouldn't be on FB anymore myself except for those pages :\ It's hard to search FB pages for someone if you don't know their name! However you can see who else likes a page. I've found some people like that.
