Sam, could you post some detail pics of the insides? Areas of interest would also be where parts are joined...

Sam, I didn't mean to put you on the spot or embarrass you. It isn't on my website, but mostly what I do these days is clean, repair, and restore armour for collectors; I don't make much armour anymore. I know that finding reliable people to do cleaning and repair here in the U.S. can be difficult.

Yes, I'am curious to see if the handles are somewhat decorated....

Not at all. Even if they weren't made by the master, those pieces of yours show an incredible level of craftmanship. This is just great. 
I really like the engraving on the parrying dagger. Once again, thanks for sharing.

A qualified YES. I, for one, would be interested. But, key questions that need to be answered include: quality of reproduction versus the cost; and, what pricing will the market support. There are certainly some folks out there making very high quality reproductions of historic armor, but I'm not sure how much of it they actually sell.

Sam;
No worries, just a minor error in transmission. Thanks for the correction.
So from your earlier post on this I'm not quite certain: are these reproductions made IN the 16th Century of Delaune pieces, or are they reproductions OF the 16th Century pieces made in the 19th Century?
In either event, they're very cool pieces, so don't feel any need to apologize for them. I sure like them! 
Cheers!
Gordon

Too all concerned,
I removed my postings and pictures of my collection of Ornate Armor. I was accused by the staff of misleading you all and that was not my intent. The pieces that were shown are all genuine antiques, purchased at great expense from Museums around the world. I assumed it was known that allot of them were copies of famous Armors and you know what happens when you assume things. The truth of it is the date of manufacture and thier origine is not fully understood except that they are centuries old and of amazing quality.
I may at some point request to post my collection on this site.
Regards

Sam,
I can say with certainty that no staff of this website would ever ask you to delete text and pictures this way. All that should be required would be to state, with certainty, what you know about these pieces.
Removing the images and text leaves this thread with holes in the context of other people's responses to you. It renders a chunk of this thread pointless and without worth. It is also ridiculous to have to wade through deleted responses. It is not the solution any of the staff would ask for or desire.
It is not your job to clean up threads. It is the job of the Moderators (Nathan and me). Had we wanted those posts gone, we would have dealt with it ourselves. Anything else is out of line.

Sam you were asked about the pieces, not accused of anything. The exchange of messages was friendly. This is quite a shock waking up to this. The removal of all the text of your posts and the destruction of the flow of this topic constitutes defacing this Web site. I've no patience for immature junk like this. It's now time to temporarily revoke your posting rights as a consequence.
