Today I got my Whonew Wisby style gauntlets in.
He said they were XXL, and I guess I have XL hands, because they almost fit me perfectly.
The metal work is very good, the amount of coverage floating plates provide is rather stunning.
The articulation is about as good as it can get. I have no area where I feel any catching, hang ups or anything else negative.
While these gauntlets may be a bit early for my kit, I am going to more than likely have to bring the rest of my kit to the era they are from, as they are that good.
I'm so very glad I something worthwile to trade for them, as they were well worth it.
Whonew also included a VERY nice smaller size buckler that is of DAMN sturdy construction.
All in all, I rate this a 5 on the 5 point scale where 5 being everything I wanted and more... His communication was spot on, always responded quickly, and shipped when he said he would. I'm quite happy.

I just noticed I have far too many tape marks and dents on my helm...
