All the old hands on here, stroking their beards and saying "ah yes, his kobakama, his kusazuri and his haidates, his tabi's and his waraji's".

Meanwhile, I'm still struggling to distinguish between pauldrons and plackarts :smiling5:.

Sorry;

Kobakama = Trousers
Kusazuri and haidates = Upper thigh and lower thigh pads

abi’s = socks
Waraji’s = straw sandals

The first rule of Viking helmets is: there are no horns on Viking helmets.
The second rule of Viking helmets is… there are NO HORNS on Viking helmets!

Thanks Tim, that was enlightening...so I should discount the wings too. :smiling2:

[Steve Brodie]

discount the wings as well, the danes were the ones adorned their helmets, vikings never did.
