Description
These 17th Century Winged Hussar Bracers pay homage to one of history’s most formidable heavy cavalry units – the Polish Winged Hussars. Renowned for their dazzling armor and devastating battlefield charges, the Hussars embodied both striking beauty and lethal efficiency.
Hand-forged from 16-gauge mild steel, these bracers deliver robust forearm protection, reinforced with solid brass fittings that enhance both durability and visual presence. The polished steel surface reflects the prestige of Hussar armor, while the riveted brass edging highlights authentic period craftsmanship.
Shaped with an ergonomic curve, they provide a secure and comfortable fit without limiting mobility. The dual adjustable leather straps with steel buckles ensure stability, while the balanced weight of just 1.3 kg per pair makes them practical for extended wear in reenactments or combat.
Perfect for collectors, historical interpreters, or full-contact armored fighters, these bracers capture the spirit of an elite warrior’s gear.
