WTB gutter greaves

In my on going quest to look like the picture I attached I find myself needing to get a pair of gutter greaves. Anyone making these right now or have a pair they wouldn't mind parting with?

Im not great at deciphering pictures but if thats just plain ole shovel greaves I make them in three sizes and 4 different materials. steel, stainless, spring steel, and spring stainless.

Just remember, that's the only depiction of greaves in the Maciejowski Bible (if there are others, PLEASE show me I'm wrong, I want to be wrong...lol), and those are on Goliath. Probably the only reason he has them is that they are mentioned specifically in Scripture. Even the fancy pants kings aren't wearing them.

But I've considered doing it more than once, because for them to be able to depict greaves, they had to have had some familiarity with the idea, right?

I make a pair in leather if you like.

You could probably make greaves like that with very basic tools and little skill.
(I said probably because I can't tell if the top edge is rolled or not.)
I can't get over how much they resemble the ones I finished today!
