Have you read the rules? If some one wore this to protect their shoulders from hits they should be called on it on the field. Not here. All I'm doing is selling it. No where in my description did I say this armor was design to protect shoulders.

The problem is that the horns, even if foam, would obstruct a legal target area.
So your argument is that it's the buyer's problem if they shell out a bunch of dough for this and end up not being able to use it in a way you specifically say they would be able to? I made my post so that some poor new guy didn't see your helm, think it was awesome, and then spend a bunch of hard-earned money for something they wouldn't be able to use on the field.
I offered my unsolicited advise to your potential customers, and now I'll extend the same courtesy to you. In the long run, your reputation as a seller will suffer if you don't make an attempt to be upfront and honest about the drawbacks of your wares. All of the successful merchants in our sport have built their business one satisfied customer at a time. It's too small of a community to try to make money by slipping something past your customer and hoping they don't tell everyone else that they weren't satisfied.

Claus wrote:If it does not match SCA specs either I can change the description. It can be wax hardened for SCA. I do have the wax, but if the horns (in or out) wouldn't pass then I'll change the description.
Helms shall be constructed from steel which has a thickness of no less than .0625 inch (1/16 inch or 1.6mm), or of equivalent material. Alternative materials, such as stainless steel, brass, bronze, or like materials, are permissible as long as the material is structurally equivalent to 0.0625-inch-thick steel.

Look up the electric samurai. It will also be legal in just about any light-contact Larp out there, and those kids usually have some cash to spare. Lookup nero and any other local larps you have.
