First serious post in years....
Living in Dublin for the last few years I've seen a lot of really awesome irish weapons and armour, especially the Gallowglass (Scottish Mercenary) stuff.
Picked out a few of the best here, would be cool to see someone make these?....
1. Lough Henney Helmet
This is something I think is very different from a lot of the standard helmets we have, and looks pretty badass. Its 14th-15th century so fits timeframe well, would be mid to heavy armorwise, around 8-9k price maybe?

I don't think we have anything like this, just a standard longsleeve no thrills shirt, all mail, maybe just a belt. all of our current mail shirts are short sleeve with some kind of tunic or padded jack underneath. see example below (guy on the lefts pants are pretty neat too)
