These pics are back when I first met up with a local 2nd hand armour dealer to see if he had kit that would fit me. Not a single piece of what you see is from the same original set. Each piece has a different story from a different person!
I had to wait 3 months before I could actually call all this armour mine. Adjustments had to be made, rust had to be polished off.... I still cringe to see some of these pieces in such a state!
I might not rely on my kit to protect my life on the field of battle, but I still take care good care of my kit!
