 |
|
I was looking for gauntlets and I ran across these Armour and Castings Hourglass gauntlets c.1390
The great price makes me skeptical of course  , but I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular model?
If these are functional enough for longsword blunts or harnischfechten they would be a great find...

Armor and Castings no longer takes armor orders, and the armor portion of that company split off into another company, the name of which escapes me. If you check the "out of order", it is for every piece of armor.

The new armoury you're referring to is "Battle Forge". To my knowledge they do not have a website yet, but they do advertise on the Armour Archive frequently and they do have a photo page of their work.

I did
I ended up going with the the full legs (but half greaves) and integrated arms.
I just need to find someone who makes (or modify a hulberk into) these.
And my kit will be nearly complete.
