Yes they are English style gauntlets. The V's on the back of the hand plate were put on to match up with the arms and legs. I really like. Easy to move in and lighter then my old plate mitts. I'm proberbly going to add a mail standard from Capapie at a later date due to cost and also having another Harness nearly finished that Ive been waiting quite a while for , for my early 14th Century Kit. I doint have plans for voiders at the moment as I want to keep the weight down.
Here's my early 14th kit at the moment. I have Splint Arms , Legs and Gauntlets coming to finish my take of John de warenne for the Swords Of Mercia Group. . Also my soft kit but Ive an upgraded hat/head piece in the making as well.
