FS Merctailor 5 Lame/Archers Knees

[AL]

I have for sale a set of the 5 lame/archers type knees we used to sell. Made from 16 gauge steel with a full length medial ridge ( runs through all the plates ), rolled and counter sunk or beveled edges where appropriate, hand made steel buckles and buckle strap end with light decorative file and chisel work and leather pointing tab set with eyelets at the tops. I am 17.5 inches around the knee, 18 inches at the thick point in the calf and 19.5 inches at the mid point in the thigh and these fit me fine. I've included a pic on my leg while bent to give a rough idea of coverage ( I didn't strap it on but its about mid thigh to mid lower leg ). I'd like to get $85 plus shipping which is less than we used to sell these for.

Feel free to ask question. Paypal, check or money order is fine.

Just one ignorant question -- Why are they called archer's knees? Because they have no cuisse?

This is the modern term applied to them as they appear frequently in 15th century military artwork being worn in part by missle troops.

Hey AL,
What's shipping to Ottawa?

Received the Knees yesterday. My second purchase from this fine gentleman and I would have no problem buying from him again (should he be selling something I want).
