The concept for Nordic Arms started years ago, but the business got started in earnest in January, 2005. We are literally a small "Mom & Pop" operation with a goal of getting quality, munitions-grade armor to all types of medieval reenactors at reasonable prices.  Bjorn has been fighting & marshalling in the SCA and armoring as a hobby since 1980, so he's very familiar with the SCA armor standards. We are now reenacting with the Adrian Empire and are working toward meeting the armour needs of this group and other "live steel" reenactors. We both started the business after retiring from the Air Force and giving birth to our son, Alaric.

   Bjorn (m.k.a. Ken) is the armorer of the business. Thorhild (m.k.a. Kristin) takes care of the marketing, sales and book keeping. Together we market many types of peripheral armor for reenactors, with Bjorn coming up with new designs all the time. Bjorn is also constantly upgrading his tools & techniques to bring new and better designs to our buyers.The items we offer are on-hand, so there's no waiting for fabrication. Recently we have even sold new consignment items for Arts and Armour and used items for fighters wishing to sell their pre-owned stuff. Our primary method of sales is through Ebay, with event sales being considered for the near future. We have set up a website with examples of previous sales, currently available items, contact information, etc. Our shipping policy is to get the item shipped within 2-3 business days (Monday thru Friday, except holidays) of payment receipt and our goal is to ship items out in 1 business day. If we're not eventing or out of town on a given Saturday, we frequently ship items out that were paid for the previous Friday evening. We ship to most locations worldwide, including APO and FPO addresses. So far, our international business has generated orders to Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Japan, & Spain! You can contact us directly at thorbjorn@elp.rr.com if you have questions about new designs, future event appearances or requests for items you don't see listed.
