[MR] cheap armor

[Jim Layne]

This is the category of plastic armor that can easily
be mistaken on the field for the real thing...until
you get close, or until you hit it. Then the masqurade
is up. More importantly, look at the prices. 45USD for
a gorget. 120USD for 3/4 arms. 120USD for 3/4 arms.
There are many armorsmiths who meet and even BEAT
these prices in mild steel.

James
