14th Century Polished Steel Vambraces with Articulated Elbow Cops

Description

Arm yourself like a true knight with these 14th Century Polished Steel Vambraces, skillfully hand-forged from 16-gauge polished mild steel. Featuring articulated elbow cops, this set offers both mobility and protection, echoing the craftsmanship of late-medieval European armor.

Measuring 40 cm in length, these vambraces provide complete coverage from wrist to elbow. Hinged plates ensure flexibility during combat or training, while sturdy leather straps and brass buckles allow a secure, adjustable fit over gambesons or mail sleeves.
