The Armour Archive

One of my little brothers is in search of a set of non-articulated elbow cops for him to point to either a set of 14th cent. splinted arms or to his gambeson sleeve.

Here's the parameters (as I understand them):
*College student budget
*Stainless or mild (NOT leather, plastic, or aluminum)
*Fit properly
*Needed soon enough before Memorial Day weekend that he can strap them for TMT

I've pointed him at stonekeep armoury. Anyone else make something that would fit the bill? Anyone have a used set they don't need anymore?

Thanks,
John

-Derian.

allan at mercenarys tailor straps everything before you get it.
his prices are reasonable, exceptional for the quality. you can get a very nice set of 14th century elbow cops for 44 bucks until wed.
i ordered blued shoulders from him a few weeks ago and had them within a week of ordering.
