Thanks for your time Harry, but not what I am looking for.

Hi all, This is not the most likely site to find a British Army Luggage Saddle, but I am casting my net as far as possible. For any who are not familiar with what I am seeking, it is a small saddle for British Army H.S.D. (Harness, Shaft, Draught) of 19th/20th Century. Any condition, provided the ir...

Thanks Merlon, I had tried Google, but being an old duffer who speaks a more archaic language I have not googled the correct word to find anything.

Hi all, As well as an interest in 12 inch to 1 ft scale Great War Cavalry, I also dable in model railways, N guage, 2mm to 1 ft, for my grandchildren you understand. I am currenty researching Great War troop trains with the intent to put together a model troop train, certainly Cavalry with animal an...

Thanks again Merlon and Jenn. Not much changed really, only one answer to the age old problem.

John T

Thanks Jenn, I have seen similar saddles used in Vietnam.

Just seen this thread. Something I was involved in many years ago, my wings and bridle.

Thanks Timothy, all useful.

Colin and Ranulf, I am not a devotee of pure fantasy, but one can never prove a negative. I also know of no other evidence of visors of this period, probably because they had not been perfected, but there has to be a first, and if there was a new design on the market, Richard I would have been the c...

Thanks for your various help.

Fascinating site from British Library.

That is a variant which I have not previously seen Craig, what is the source please?

Thanks,

John T

Thanks for your advice Hamish.

John T

Thanks Vermin.

Andy, I am not familiar with that image and only have odd pages reproduced from the Luttrell Psalter. Is it available in its entirety?

Thanks both,

John T

Upper Swansea Valley, just East of Ammanford if anyone wishes to ride, multiperiod.

Hi all, I have been asked to make a Medieval Pack Saddle. I have seen and photographed in use a variety of pack saddles as used by 'primitive' cultures around the world, but have only found a few vague sketches of pack saddles from Medieval Europe, and details of these are generally obscured by the ...

They don't like it upem.

Sorry, could not resist that particular silly comment.

"Just love your interpritations on this"

Is that not the definition of art, as opposed to illustrations?

Perhaps the Angel's modern hairstyle is a link with the present Cat, an indication that we have learned little.

John T

For my part, I think that the smile of the leading soldier makes the image, suggesting hope, or safety at last?

John T

Thank you Brother Ranulf, that is much clearer than the images of the seal which I have. Thank you also for your comments. I am familiar with the developement of armour around this period, 1200 to 1350, the transition from mail to plate is my preferred period. I know that there is no evidence of vis...

Nothing received brother. May be my PC.

Try RJTremelling@aol.com

Otherwise, try pidgeons, at least we can eat them afterwards.

Hi Brother Ranulf,

I have PM'd you, but wonder if it has got through. I have tried to PM others on this net, but failed. Something I am doing wrong or Gremlins in my PC? To be fair, I am an ageing technocretin.

My e-mail is JTRemountDepot@aol.com

Best wishes,

John T

I am Upper Swansea Valley Eyemo. I have ideas, multi period kit and horses. Worth a meet?

John T

Nothing received Dev? Gremlins?

Did you use JTRemountDepot@aol.com ?

John T

Well done.

Photographed as such or digitally created? Where are you? I have a few ideas for photos along similar themes.

John T

I have tried to PM you again Dev. Have you got it?

John T

Some very nice photos, thanks for sharing them.

Best wishes,

John Tremelling

Any Cavalry going? Might be worth kitting out for such a significant event.

John T

Thank you brother, I have PM'd you.

Hi all, Does anyone have, or know where I can find a good hi definition photo of the Great Seal of Richard I ? There are several representations online, but all very grainy when blown up. I have for some time wished to try to re-create the rather perculiar helm on the seal. It may be pure artist lic...
