...Essays/ Pretty on the Rapier Field

What a giant pain in the buttox the project has been, but it will be worth it on the field...



Dress helm to Rapier helm

I purchased an inexpensive dress Burgonet from Karl Von Sussan, and the good Baron Alejandro gave me an old fencing mask. I've spent the past 3 months working on this as I had time. I now know why rapier helms are so expensive.











...and something to hold the ostrich feather!





And the Garb

So I needed to make sure that I got some "pretty-on" for the field, and I also wanted something that I could wear off the field. This outfit is based off the 1518 woodcut Triumph of Maximillian: "The Burgundian Marriage" attributed to Albrecht Durer & Hans Burgkmair.
