specs are:
atriculating .050(18ga) 6-2-2-2 shoulder cops designed to ride low not be clunky or noticable in combat yet give bombproof protection.
never had a dent yet from rattan. these can be crushed, spindled or mangulated. will never rust and easily shine back up to almost new using a wheel and white diamond polish. has stainless rivets with 301 FH stainless washers for long life. will do custom rivet holes for hanging them and recommend using at least one point to attach them.
Bosses:

boss specs: 14ga mirror polished Stainless Steel shield boss. It has been cold worked(no annealing for maximum work hardness) in a spiral sunk pattern by my four ton dishing machine and has eight copper rivet sized holes punched around the rim(3/8th to 1/2 inch) for mounting. spiral Sinking is like raising in that it keeps the center of the boss at almost the full thickness so it is extremely dent resistant. it is about 2 inches deep, approximately 7 3/4 inches across and the inside boss hole measures 6 1/4 across. it weigh about 7/8ths of a pound. rim is 3/8ths of an inch to 1/2"
finger tips and thumbs: .050/18ga 301 half hard stainless steel pressed fingertips(8 fingers and 2 thumbs per set).
they are rough cut down to size and need grinding and hand shaping to size.
each piece can be set on side and closed with a hammer. will post a video of shaping instructions later if asked.
these require the following work to be functional:
grinding and deburring.
polishing or surface finish.
sizing and shaping. can be ground down to size on a grinder without much problem.
hole(s) for leathers.
cost is a base $75 per set. includes 8 finger sized blanks and 2 thumb sized blanks.
am willing to cut to your desired length if you provide me measurements.
modifications:
polished set add $5
ground, shaped and attachment hole to spec add $50
buffalo hide leathers(you cut to size) add $5
depending on interest may offer set with leathers as seen at the top of the pictures.
