The Armour Archive

Well...
In keeping with surprises one may get on a day like today... I am not exempt...
Apparently, I'm married to a Nascar driving hopeful that still hasn't learned that a camera is faster... In my truck no less! :::sigh:::
With that, I have a couple of items I need to offload in order to pay said ticket...
First on the block are my personal pair of finger gauntlets... They are used and have plenty of life in them! Modified Wisby pattern to look like gloves. Made of 20ga spring steel. Padded, gloved, and ready to go! I really hate sell these as they are the first pair I've made... I'm asking $400 delivered to lower 48... Anyone that has been wanting to treat themselves to a set of these, here's your chance!

Next up on the block is a box of 300 aluminum tombstone plates...
They measure 1 3/4" x 3"... They are oxidized to look like iron... I bought them with the intent if making another harness and never got around to it... the plates are punched now to what could be scale armor. Or you can punch the holes necessary to make lamellar armor.
I am asking $100 for the plates delivered to lower 48....
Prices are negotiable and reasonable offers will be entertained...
Paypal is prefered....

sizing info on the gauntlets?

what measurements you want/need...?
I thought there's a second pic I added with a tracing of my hand...
Here's the tracing...

Dibs on the plates, pending pics and details.

Pics posted with original post...

Really dumb sounding question - looking at the pic, they don't LOOK 1 3/4" x 3", they look bigger?

(Not a problem, just a question.)

Thickness, alloy, etc?

I measured the plates prior to posting.... My wife is holding the stack and she's a little woman!
I'm not sure of the specifics to the metal because I bought here, but it looks to be about 16ga.(?) and the plates seem stout... if I didn't need to, I would still consider making a harness from this... But alas, my needs outweigh the desire...

THAT'S what was throwing my sense of scale off.

I'll take 'em.

The plates are sold pending payment!
The gauntlets are still available... Price is negotiable. Reasonable offers would be considered... I sell this style for $950 new out the box...
These would fit a large hand...

I have seen those gauntlets up close and handled them. Drop dead sexy!

Lowered the price of the gauntlets...

Is there anything you might be willing to take in trade for them?

Unfortunately, as much as I love to barter, I need the cash this time...
This is a deal for a pair of Spring steel gauntlets... I wouldn't be selling them if there wasn't a need...

Yeah, I believe you. How soon would you absolutely have to have the money? I can raise the cash but it might take a couple days.

That's a good deal on those gauntlets...
