Should 15th C turnshoes be made available, I'll probably be picking up a pair. Or several; might need to color coordinate with my hosen.

Re: Gauntlets behind shields

I've been fighting with a finger gauntlet on my shield hand for over fifteen years, in Atenveldt, Artemisia, AnTir and points East- so far, not a quibble.

By using spring, you could get the weight down, at least. There'd be no reason it would have to be feather light; if 16 and 14 ga were used, it'd probably be around 7 or 8 pounds, which should still be enough mass to protect your neck and brain.
