FS Merctailor Arms, 14th c. Fluted Cops

[AL]

I have for sale a set of the 14th century arms we used to make and a pair of fluted late 13/14th century knee cops for sale.

The arms are made from 16 gauge steel with rolled and beveled edges where needed, they have hand made buckles and steel strap ends with light decorative file and chisel work. The bracers turn in slots in the manner of the " Voght of Match " armour in Churburg ( also shown close up in TOMAR ). Tha bracers are 8 1/8 inches long and have a max circumference of 14 1/2 inches at the fore arm and 10 5/8 inches at the wrist ( they are adjustable ). They fit me fine and i'm thouroughly average with 14 1/2 inch biscepts and arms that are 23 inches from the ball of the shoulder to the wrist. They bend fully through the range of the arm and have plenty of hyperextension ( second pic ). These are strapped in black leather rather than the brown shown. I'd like to get $165.00 per pair ( less than we used to charge for them with cast buckles and regular non turning bracers ) plus shipping.

I recall seeing a thread or two a few moths ago of folks looking for five creased/fluted knee cops base on some funnery effigies ( viewtopic.php?f=3&t=154064&hilit=lookin ... like+these ) so decided to make up a set. The knees are made from 16 gauge steel with a five ridges/flutes each, are lined with leather and have 1/4 inch of cotton batting padding between the leather and steel. They are strapped including hand made buckles and steel strap ends with light decorative file and chisel work. I am 17.5 inches at the knee and these fit me fine. I'd like to get $65 plus shipping for the knees

Paypal, check or MO is fine. Feel free to ask questions.

If interested I would consider make up matching elbow cops.

Someone buy those knees and save me from myself.

I have beautiful spring steel knees, but they don't have the fluting. I really love the fluting, and it would bring me closer to my source effigies. And these are the nicest fluted 14th century knees I've seen. Gah!

Tentative dibs on knees. Could you please give me the width measurement (interior "diameter") and circumference around the outside? They look a bit big for me, but I figure its worth asking while I speak with the Finance minister about them
