Or was it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Creative_Anachronism
 
I'm not a member there, and i dont think it is so big in Norway. Here we have lokal groups acting out, building and crafting. Some friends has even a big viking ship. But there are no organisation other than lokal busyness. For now, i'm alone here where i live. But there is a group in a town nearby. Will try to contact them soon.
 
Ohh... those with the ship are Olavs menn. A christian group acting out of Hellige Olavs time and use him as an example. He was a great man!

lol. Yeah, I meant the Society for Creative Anachronism. I struggle with the other as well.
 
Just curious as about the only times I have heard people talk about chainmail were part of the SCA. I was under the impression it was worldwide but probably just bigger in the states (ironically the only country that never experienced a time without firearms). To be honest, your local groups are likely more historically accurate. Have fun!
 
Most of what I have seen of the SCA, it is a lot of fun for them. I worked with a guy that was king for a couple of years. I was surprised by the amount of time and money he spent making his armor, weapons and practice along with the time spent working in the organization. I find his, and others in historic recreation, admirable in the magnitude of their dedication.
