Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Joze Noriker - 10-02-2011 Yes, the Renatus and his group(s) are making very qualitative impressions of more cultures. Joze Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - M. Demetrius - 10-03-2011 My Germanic sword scabbard is made much like yours, Renger, minus the chape. Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Joze Noriker - 10-04-2011 Edit.: This spatha is very nice - complimente on the autor Martin (Flavivs)!! I wrote that Renatus and his friends are doing very good impressions! Joze Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - G.Pub.Britannicus - 11-11-2011 David, I can't bear your humor. Howard Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Ingvar Sigurdson - 11-11-2011 Pardon :? regards Ingvar Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Harjaz - 11-20-2011 Hello I just wanted to show you all my Germanic warrior impression. The clothing is based off finds from Thorsberg and Marx Etzel. The belt is a typical 'achterschnalle' belt. I also have a large utility knife, a fire starting kit, small scissors (these are believed to show that one owned slaves), as well as my personal pouch with various items (several roman denarii, a hairpin for a suebian knot, a game dice, and other odds and ends). My sword is a captured (or gained through service in the roman imperial guard) Roman spatha. My spear is a larger lance, and these spearheads fell out of use during the Romano-Germanic war (12bc to 17 AD). My warrior type is one that would ideally be classified as 'cavalry', but some experts believe that some chieftains only rode their horses to battle, and fought on foot. At any rate, the warrior I am representing is obviously of the elite warrior class, and is either a senior member of a retinue following, or a minor chieftain.

Joze, please, if you don`t no any facts don´t tell wrong stories. My Diersheim spatha was not made by Xorx / Schorsch. But my illerup spatha is from him. My Diersheim spatha was made by Martin / FLAVIVS from the römische-schmiede Martin makes very fantastic roman and germanic replikas. Look at his homepage www.roemische-schmiede.de Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Joze Noriker - 12-06-2011 Quote:Thanks at all. Hi Renatus, oh yes, i made a misstake i didn't saw on your item (made by the Schorsch and by the Martin) with attention! Sorry for my mistake - they are two different spathas (one with red scabbard and this one here is brown). But they booth are very nice!! Complimente Martin!! (was rewritting my wrong text!) Joze Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Kai - 12-06-2011 Hi Dan, cool impression! Could you please tell and show more about the helmet? Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - jvrjenivs - 12-06-2011 Quote:Hi Dan, It's germanic/Batavian. Adrian Wink wrote an interesting article on them, which now seems to be offline, unfortunatelly. Several (reused) gallic helmets were found, for instance at Krefeld, with fur attached to it. I personally think we can probably link this fashion with the cavalry helmetfashion as I outlined in my talk at the latest RAT conference in York. Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - Kai - 12-06-2011 Thanks Jurjen, that link sounds interesting! I never thought about it. With the few Germanic helmets and the almost complete absence of a "Germanic" helmet tradition, heavy Roman influence may also lead to such a link. Worth a thought or two.

Demetrius - 01-06-2012 I have no historical references for this, but people everywhere who live in frozen winter climates have always worn furs. "Untailored"? By this do you mean with leg skin still attached and not cut into a smoother shape? Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - jvrjenivs - 01-06-2012 Quote:but people everywhere who live in frozen winter climates have always worn furs. Well, I would love to see any reference for such a bolt statement, as I find it all too easy assumed. Re: Show here your Germanic warrior impression - M. Demetrius - 01-06-2012 Nope, the first thing I said is I don't have any. :lol: |
