Afternoon Folks, I have a custom Helm that will be arriving shortly, and im looking everywhere to find- purchase helm brasses, plaques, pressblech etc . was looking for slightly thicker for SCA uses, ( as the foil ones used for greeting cards probably won't hold up) similar to the Vendel- Saxon culture shown here : The only place ive seen that sells them seperate is Raymond's Quiet Press: www.quietpress.com/ Although on site, it states new product added Sept. 2012, I have sent 2 emails & called twice since begining of October just to make sure they are still in busniness, without a Response. So i'm not even sure if the site is still active to date. If anyone in their wisdom knows of him or knows where i can get my paws on some Us based or Europe. it would be Greatly appreciated

Guess they are living up to the 'quiet' part of their name!
The only suggestion would be to try placing an order for a cheap item and see what happens.
Also their phone number is 505-507-4988 in case you missed it.

Any particular reason on how you know he's still up and running> other than new item added sept.2012 as it states. I only ask cause once long ago, i made a $100+ purchase to a small co. hand crafted item, and we'll thats all that ever happened no response, no item recieved, just got jacked on the $. Had a long dragged-out process with pay-pal to get my $ back. I got a tip at myarmoury on a Europe based co. www.ganderwick.com little thinner, like a foil ( have my doubts they would hold up on SCA combat) But will get spanked on shipping as well :cry:

I'm pretty sure some of my re-enacting friends got helmet 'bling' in from them just this past September. I can check if you'd like though.

Just a bump for RQP ( Raymonds )-I have bought things several times from him. He is good to go, he is often traveling to events on weekends.
