The Armour Archive

Several years ago I looked into having GDFB produce armour for me. This is some of the material I bought from them.

SOLD Gauntlets #1: 14th century fingered hourglasss gauntlets with brass trim. Glove included. These were what they were already producing when I began investigating. Size Large (a pair). Retail 125 British pounds sterling. Yours for $125.00 US



Gauntlets #2: 15th century Milanese mitten gauntlets with brass trim. Strapped to wear. These were what they were already producing when I began investigating. Size medium (a pair) Retail 95 British pounds sterling. Yours for $95.00 US





SOLD Gauntlets #3: 14th century fingered hourglasss gauntlets. These are what I tried to get them to produce. Although the knuckles appear angular in the pics they are quite round. They just could not quite get what I was going for so I abandoned the project. Ready to stitch to a glove. Size Large (a pair). Yours for $125.00 US

The first unconditional "I'll take Gauntlets #(Fill in the blank)" posted in this thread gets them!

Dibs Gauntlets #3.

that is if you think these would be passed by an SCA martial.

material these are made of?

1st dibbs on pair #1 and 2nd dibbs on pair #3, I think someone I know would want these depending on what they're made of....

looks like 16 or maybe 18ga steel mild prolly

gauge and whether mild of SS is the question...

If 1 or 3 falls through I'll take either. Pay pal immediately like the buckles..

16 mild.

I would pass them if they were securely sewn to a glove with a layer of thin pad between the glove and the leather especially.

MJBlazek gets #3

aidanhroarsson gets #1

aidanhroarsson and Leo Medii are in line

Spoke to my friend and he's not interested. So I release my dibbs....

One question before dibs. Is the wrist open on the inside? If so, I sold my old pair because of that so I'd pass too.

They wrap all the way around. The ones with brass are shorter on the interior and the ones without are full bell cuffs but they both fully wrap.

Now I make it:
MJBlazek gets #3

Leo Medii gets #1

I am sure Leo is going to take them, but if he backs out for any rason I am very interested.

Those are some GREAT deals!

OK. If they are full cuffed, I'LL TAKE THEM!!!


WHOOOO HOOOOOOo!@!!!!

I will pay pal for #3 first thing in the morning.

1 and 3 are sold.
2 is avaialble

Payment sent Talbot, thanks!

Damn.....

Ray, these will be offered to you, same price, after Pennsic.

My Squire is going to be doing a refit/rebuild of my Wisby gauntlets, and these are to service while that goes on.

Someday, I'll get a pair of Brian's mack Wisby's......someday!

Consider it a done deal if that offer still stands after Pennsic... I will be looking forward to it.

#2 is available

I'll take set #3 and paidfor with paypal from
seabrig29@aol.com

All pairs of gauntlets are now sold and paid for. The two pairs of hourglass gauntlets have shipped and the mittens will be in tomorrow's mail.
