Question. I have seen one reference on another site that the two known buckskin Elizabethian era fencing doublets actually had metal plates in them.
Figured best place to ask, is here. Is this really correct?!
I had always assumed they were stuffed in between all that fancy stitching!
Thank you in advance for the info.
