I am LOATHE to sell these as Jeff is my favorite armorer of all time, but these have always been just a tad short on my arms, and I need to sell them so I can get a new pair!

Mild steel-16gauge arm, 14 g elbow. Elbows have simple rondel on them. They are attached to the vambraces by leather articulations.
The vambraces only cover the outside of the arm, but are shaped nicely.

I can take pictures and exact measurements tonight or tomorrow. I thought he had a picture on his website, but he must have taken it down.
I am going to say they are 13inches from the wrist to the center of the elbow.
Dark brown leather straps with hand forged simple buckles.

$200 Shipped to the lower 48.

*Updated.
They are 9 1/2 inches from the Wrist to the Center of the elbow.
Pictures below. They could use a good polish, I have them pretty well oiled up for storage.

13" from wrist to center of elbow, and they're short on you? That's about right for a 6'3" fellow... Damn. Sounded like a great trade for that scabbard...

Tempted but poor. Resisting. I already have similar arms from Jeff, with full vambraces based on the Chartres piece. I lost enough weight that I need to cut them down to reduce the circumference. Trouble is, they're heat-treated 1050, so I'm afraid of cracking if I cut into them. These being mild and one piece, I could squeeze them down easily. And yet I am poor...

Please don't cut down tempered 1050... Totally cool armour and a real pain to reshape much.

Get new stuff instead.

No, I have no stake in this transaction. I made myself something similar in stainless just for fun.
