OMG whew...
I've seen poorly tempered or untempered squash and dent.
Having said that, range of motion is huge.
Also, when you get them and get them gloved, you'll want to look for wear spots and pad between them and the gauntlet.
Just to keep the gloves from wearing thru.
I don't know how much experience with gauntlets you have.
But if you have questions etc...there's a number of us that have lots of hours in plate gauntlets that can help.

And you may want to consider adding etching or inlay of your signature flower, maybe on the cuff?

Like something a king would wear. I am wearing a giant tin can in comparison to that craftsmanship.

Will probably look at Armstreet instead for a pair of mitten gauntlets in the next few months.

Nice looking guantlets, shame they didn't custom fit them better

Sir Thorfinn: Trooperwill - we'd all love to help. My suggestion is to start posts with 3-4 swords at a time so the forum can give you our best guess, as the prices can be a moving target. Just my .02 Dec 4, 2024 15:01:52 GMT
