not really, but i am having a crack at making one, pretty much making this up on the fly just using some thin junk steel to start with, to see if i can work out how to do it, made up my own pattern to suit the massive paws i have for hands lol, this is what i have so far parts are just laid out to check shape, still have to get leather glove for lining and rivet it all together but so far so good, not sure whether i will rivet the finger scales or sew them leaning towards riveting at moment (and yes i realize its in no way an accurate reproduction of a period piece its an experiment in fabrication)

Doesn't look like you'll be able to move your wrists much. When you mention riveting the finger scales do you mean rivet them to the glove or to each other? Looking forward to seeing how this turns out, gauntlets are tricky things to get right.

Very cool. I've been thinking about trying to make demi-gauntlets, because I don't think I could do articulated fingers like you've shown. Does that wrist cuff inhibit the side-to-side motion of your hand?
