I still can't seem to get the forum to let me post pictures directly. Whatever size I think I've got, it says they're too big.

Please bear with the bother and take a look at the links :?

Mine were already finished when these pics started showing up. I just wanted to make sure mine sort of looked correct.

For which (SCA combat usefulness or Historical Accuracy)? IIRC, period bazubands didn't cover the elbow to the extent needed for SCA. I believe Cat made a pair that added decorative bits to the edges for the needed protection.


That being said, all of the above are friggin sweet, and I am going to start a pair soon.

All of the House of the Wolf bazubands are SCA list legal. I have never had 1 marshal question them.

Not trying to imply that any design here isn't SCA legal. Just that all of them shown have far more coverage than historical bazubands. Those simply covered the back point of the elbow when straight, without covering the sides of the arm.

Those are really great looking, makes me jealous!
The idea that war should be conducted within a moral framework may seem like a quaint medieval practice, but as speech separates humans from the apes, so morality separates civilization from the barbarians
