Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 10:25 pmYou know we're expecting a complete report AND photographs of your trip. I hope someone took an image of you in original armor!
By the way, a few years ago my museum did an exhibit on swords and armor and borrowed heavily from the Oakshott Institute. They also reproduce weapons, some of the best I've seen, and I was like a kid in the candy store! I wore gloves.

I can't find the link for their reproductions at home, so it must be at work.
