Resources

We are providing links to suppliers that we believe meet the high standards we set on equipment for our group. This is not a list of SCA or LARP equipment suppliers; we demand high historical representation for our group. Also it should be noted that we do not endorse all the products on these recommended retailers, some items are created specifically for groups like the SCA and are not meant for living history or reenactment. It is always best to research items for yourself before buying.
