That was easier than expected. Below is the table I came up with. Data in black all came straight out of the Moldvay basic book. Data in red was extrapolated from data in Moldvay Basic plus values in Labyrinth Lord. In most cases this was simply taking the LL values and expressing them in Moldvay’s coins (easy, as it’s given that 10 coins weighs a pound). In other cases I had to use some creative invention. Mostly this is around weapons with ammunition. Moldvay lists these separately for cost, but lumps them together for encumbrance. I wanted to figure out what 1 arrow/quarrel weighs using LL, but retain the correct totals when combining the numbers presented in Moldvay. Also I slightly reduced the weight of iron spikes as listed by LL so they would divide into a weight per spike better.
Anyway, here’s the table:

Battle Axe (two-handed) | 7 | 50 | 1d8 | |

You have no idea how much I love this chart! I’ve had to simplfy weapons, armours, and shields to just Light, Medium, and Heavy (and Extreme for Tower Shields lol) to keep it focused, but I love your equipment weights. I’ve made the standard adventurer’s pack (a backpack, a bedroll, a mess kit, a tinderbox, 10 torches, 10 days of rations, a waterskin, 50 feet of rope) for 100 cn. This I do for simplicity not realism. That said, love this chart! Well done 🙂
Well thank you, I’m glad you found it of use!
