Author Topic: New 15th century gaunlets Boudhewein Member Member # 995 posted 02-17-2006 02:29 PM                I just bought new gaunlets and I was just wondering what you thinkof them. -------------------- I reject your reality and substitute my own Registered: Feb 2006  |  IP: Logged Gregory J. Liebau New Member Member # 1029 posted 04-10-2006 04:50 PM             Who're they made by? They look like an Armour & Castings pair, but I can't be sure. How's the articulation in them, and is there sufficient padding between the gloves and the plates for combat? Thanks! -Gregory- -------------------- The more I learn, the less I know...

The articulation is very good. There is no padding petween the gloves and the armourplates. But I tested them yesterday in wepaonstraining and I didn't need padding.

If so, they were produced in the Czech Republic, although I din't know any specifics. Therefore the price in the shop I mentioned (371,00 Euro) is far to expensive. I hope you didn't spent that much money, especially since it seems that gauntlets and gloves are glued and not sewn together. Another thing is that typical look and quality of czech armour polish, once you bring them near to any sort of moisture, you can almost watch them rust immidiately! I once had a similar pair in hand for testing and they seem to be really okay for combat without any additional padding, though.

The difference is that my leathergloves are darkred and I'm missing the second strap. But that is something I will try and add. I used them last sunday, and offcourse it rained in the Netherlands. But luckely the started rusting straight away. So, I'm quit happy with the gloves. I bought the in a store in Tilburg called de Malle Heks (the silly witch). They used to be a wiccan/pagan/fantasy store, but have added reenacment goods with a good price. -------------------- I reject your reality and substitute my own Registered: Feb 2006  |  IP: Logged Jancemeijer von Magnus Member Member # 695 posted 04-19-2006 03:44 PM                   those gauntlettes might be from armour online. http://armouronline.com/ Or best armour http://www.bestarmour.com/ -Jason -------------------- ~ Jason Banditt Adams Illustrator for the gaming industry www.Rogue-Artist.com "Jancemeijer von Magnus" Organization head, "Magnus Kompanie" Aufgebot Hessen Kassel 1471-1480 www.GothicGermany.org Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged chef de chambre Admin & Advocatus Diaboli Member # 4 posted 04-19-2006 04:04 PM                   I think they are nice, especially for the price you paid. -------------------- Bob R.
