Anyone have one or a link to one? I have somebody who sounds like they have a pair and I'd like to confirm it, so I need to send him a picture of them.

They are generally pretty rough, but he doesn't claim that they are anything else. I think that his thumbs are one large sort of pork-chop shaped things with one rivet holding it to the metacarpal. I could be wrong, though.

Hey, J.P. I'm sorry I don't have a pic of any such gauntlets, but I've seen them in person, and they aren't bad at all.

Incidentally, I met Gillian (sp?) at practice a couple of days ago. She said you'd be in town on the weekend of the 28th. Is this so? If it is, then I hope you can find the time to have a beer with me. Drop me an e-mail when you get the chance.

Thanks... Gilyan mentioned that she met you

I will indeed be in town the weekend of the 28th... Friday and Saturday night will be quiet time with her, but I will be at FP Sunday... you can pass it on to Hal et al

yeah the thumb consists of that pork-chop shaped piece with the thumbtip riveted to that with a leather strap.

i own a pair of andy ward gaunts and i am quite happy with em. they protect well and are light(for steel gaunts).

mine are his $60 mild steel gaunts.

i would recommend them to anyone looking for inexpensive gaunts. i would post a pic of em if i had one

He has recently changed the thumb design and it is now leather articulated (I have not seen photo of the new design...).

I have pics of his gaunts, send me an email and I'll get copies to you.
