Leather Fancy Gothic Spaulders Shoulder Armor Ren SCA functional pauldrons LARP

Description

Time Frame/Estimated Delivery Date:
eBay requires all sellers to supply an estimated "Ship after the sale" time frame and, with my custom build listings, I have them set at 30 days. Very, very rarely do I actually need the full 30 days, that time frame simply covers me during heavy traffic times and certain times of the year when orders tend to pile up. I generally require closer to two weeks with some builds being faster, some a bit longer. Please feel free to email me with any time frame questions. Thanks!
Please note: This item will be custom made for you after purchase and payment. Due to variations available, it is impossible for me to have on stock and list every possibility. Prices may vary for custom requests, please contact me with any and all questions.
The number available listed above does not represent the actual number on hand. As stated, this is a custom build auction. The number above helps keep the auction listed ;)
Thank you!
Important: From time to time I can get extremely busy and backed up. Please view the home page of my eBay store for updates and notifications. You can do this by clicking the store selection under the View Seller's Other Items area above. I keep all applicable information there and feel free to email me any time with time frame questions.
This set of spaulders is initially priced in black but can be made in other colors, the initial listing price is for black.  Just get with me and we can discuss options and prices.  A color and a black outline or the reverse adds .00 to the total.
This auction is for a Medieval/Fantasy Style pair of Fancy Gothic Leather Spaulders. These spaulders main lames are made from heavy
10-11 ounce
leather with the detail tip pieces and the double layer top detail piece on the number one lame being made from 8-9 ounce leather. I hand cut, dye, and seal these spaulders for weather resistance, as well as done some basic line work to give accent details.
These spaulders can be worn with a body harness - sold separately - or attached to your armor via a set-up I have come up with consisting of four aluminum "Washers" that rivet onto the shoulders of you armor allowing a screw post to be run through your armor and through a belt attached to the spaulders via a "Tab" on the underside of the spaulders. I tried to picture this as well as possible. All hardware will be included with the spaulders to do this. If you choose to go with the body harness and do not wish to ever connect the spaulders to armor the hardware to do so can be dropped from the sale and I will take .00 off of the price of the body harness in exchange.
The body harness is shown in the picture of the individual wearing full body armor, armor and harness not included in this auction ;)
I have tried to picture the process and hardware used to attach the spaulders to armor. This process allows you to attach and remove the spaulders at will with nothing more than a flat head screwdriver. This is perfect for traveling, packing and storing your armor and gives you the freedom to either wear or not wear spaulders when you suit up.
The straps have been left long so they can be custom cut to length or, as I prefer to do, be folded back under and tucked under the keeper.
This set of spaulders can be made with spikes, with rivets, etc. Just get with me so we can work out a price.
Optional Neck Guard (Pictured on Single Side Gothic Spaulder):
.00 per side
- An optional neck guard can be added to this spaulder as pictured above if desired.
This price includes the neck guard itself as, in this design, the number one lame already has the 8-9 ounce upper piece needed to mount the neck guard.
The neck guard is two pieces of 8-9 ounce leather riveted together so that you get the skin side of the leather on both sides rather than the rough side being exposed on one side.  The neck guard passes through the upper layer of 8-9 ounce leather on the number on lame and then spays out underneath it so that it is sandwiched between the base and upper piece.  Screw posts are then run through all three layers to attach the neck guard and keep it firmly in place.  Keep in mind, with the neck guard in place, helmets with horns mounted down, wings, etc. may hit the neck guard and interfere with overall wearability.
This is a design I came up with, patterned and made myself. It is not some machine punched piece, produced in bulk and put together by a gaggle of half starved orphan kids.
Please ask any and all questions before the auction closes. Payment is due within 7 days of auction close. Please, if there are ANY problems before, during or after the auction, don't go all negative on me! It will be worked out if handled properly ;) Be sure to check and see if I have any other auctions running, I do combine shipping!
Thanks for looking and HAPPY BIDDING!
Due to eBay's infinite wisdom and inability to leave well enough alone, shipping insurance has now been removed as an option on items so, in order to cover myself on shipments, I am now required to revise all items and include it into the handling fees. This was explained to me by an eBay associate who did no speak clear English as the fact that the seller should cover insurance fees and not the buyer but, since the buyer will not be covered if the item is lost or damaged during shipment without insurance it can be added into the handling fees instead so that insurance fees can be included and added to items?????????? Has the entire world lost it's mind? Anyway, the handling fees now include shipping insurance fees thus, thanks to eBay, requiring insurance on all items rather than giving you, the buyer, the option.... Thank you eBay....
