<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 9839049, member: 20148&quot;]I did make some helmets for Regia Anglorum, a British early medieval group. They complained about two things, one, I stamped my work with a small discreet makers mark, which certainly in Viking times was not unknown. And secondly, they objected to my painting the inside black to help protect against rust. This was supposedly on the grounds that this wasn&#039;t done in antiquity. But they didn&#039;t object to the owners glueing foam inside! How original is that! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie78" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I never bothered to work for them again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
