Re: to all the aqrmourers who ever got shoulder injuries...
Good advice, I ignored the pain, suffered permanent muscle loss, joint damage, 3 surgical procedures and will never be the same, and I have yet to address the rotator cuff injury.
Sorry about your situation, it does suck.

Re: Corinthian Helmet That I Bought
IMHO look to SCA armourers for SCA armour, they know the game, play the game and in most cases have years of experience tailoring historical designs to meet/exceed SCA standards.
You can often dent a "16" ga helmet just by dropping it on a hard surface.

Re: Documentation requested: Gamboised cuisse
Gamboised cuisses seem common enough between 1340-1360 from Italy, Germany and the Low Countries. Considering England's deep connection with the latter within that period it would seem odd if the English didn't use the gamboised cuisse at all. Roel Renmans had some amazing photos of some figures fr...

Re: Documentation requested: Gamboised cuisse
Yes, they were worn in the 14th cent.
The A Strassbourg Cathedral Altar Piece (circa 1345) clearly shows them.
They may not show up in effigies due to being a more "economic" defence but they were certainly used.
