What is the total weight of a single arm? If we wanted to have custom art etched into the vambrace; - what would be the price? - what format would you need the artwork to be in to best serve you? Is the new "deeper" elbow going to be etched similarly to the previous version? $50 for custo...

Is the thumb deeper on the new ones?

Yes, this is only difference but important one. If you ordered few months ago then most likely you've got transitional model

It doesn't have to be a fan or leaf, but it does have to extend far enough to cover the internal point of the knee. That rule came about shortly after I started. I had to cut a small bit of metal to rivet into my knee cops. Yep, I understand. We have such sort of extend at knee cops posted above, a...

I REALLY like these, but the elbow seems a bit exposed for SCA in this picture. http://armstreet.com/images/catalogue/big_img_20101026115523.jpg We've decided that all our new products will be made in accordance to SCA regulations, the exception will be only for replicas of real armor, so we will r...

With the options for the mirror or stain finish on the splinted vambraces, are those both on stainless steel, or is the satin finish only for mild steel?

Thanks!

Satin finish available for both stainless and mild steel, no problems

Mikael, What I was thinking of was just selling the splinted vambraces without the elbow cop. The cops are gorgeous, but may not fit my harness, for example, but the vambraces (or greaves) without etching would be perfect. Thes plinted vambraces you showed in your reply to me are dead sexy items, b...

like could i have the design from the bazubands on the splinted arms?

Yep, that's possible but it will cost extra, I think about $50 to adjust pattern

I met these guys at Pennsic. They were very cool to talk with, and we loved the swords. I wish the SCA would use those swords they had... I wish it too - but nobody contacts me after discussions at Pennsic when I really think it may change combat practice in US and make it more realistic and intere...

Doesn't the etching on mild steel just.. invite rust? You can see yellow marks on etched surfaces. This is not a rust but oil for rust prevention. As other mild-steel items these bracers needs regular maintenance or/and safe preservation, but etching is very deep so slight rust removing is not a bi...

Btswanfury, After seeing the splinted versions at Pennsic, I would not recommend them for SCA-legal elbow coverage. However, due to the flare they have around the perimeter of the elbow, it should be entirely possible to slip a pair of cops beneath them, and these would be more than substantial for...
