While manufacturing of these mitten-gauntlets V. Behaim's drawing of the Caspar von Frundsberg's landsknecht armour (Germany, c. 1527) was used as a base. Original gauntlets have mail defence of the fingers which was replaced with the defence used in the classic mitten-gauntlets of that time.

Nifty and a nice photo too.
I second the request for a photo of the full harness if you have one.

You mean the photo of an original harness or the reconstructed one.
We have only the gauntlets to be recostructed.

The complete original harness, if you have a picture :)
I guess it's a typical Landsknecht-harness with a big gorget and long tassets. Or a maximilian-style full harness?
Sorry but i have only a drawing of Behaim which I will show here a bit later...
They are great! Really good work.
Beautiful work. Stunning.
Best,
