I worked as an apprentice to an armorer and got paid in armor for the time
I put in. Come out with some nice stainless steel helmets and such. Very
nice stuff if you can afford it. Never got enough time or money saved up
to get the stainless lorica though. Now that is some armor worth getting.
And it looked really awesome once it got buffed out.
