Gothic Armguards, 1.2 mm Steel, Pair
Vambraces, Rerebraces, Couters
This wearable, fully articulated reconstruction of a late medieval plate armour for the arms is made of 1.2 mm (18 gauge) steel and blackened on the inside for better corrosion resistance. It is designed to protect the forearms, elbows and upper arms, and shows the typical multi-layered look of the Gothic plate armours of the late Middle Ages (15th/16th c.). The arm protection consists of a couter or cowter (also known as an elbow cop), a vambrace or lower cannon and a rerebrace or upper cannon. For proper freedom of movement, all parts are connected together by sliding plates or lames that are hinged on sturdy steel rivets.
At the back, each arm is equipped with three riveted, adjustable, approx. 2 mm thick leather straps with brass buckles for a comfortable, custom fit.
The edges are adorned with grooves and small steel rivets, and the elbow cops feature flower-shaped, slightly concave steel rondels that are riveted on the sides (see also our besagews – product no. 1016634200).
This articulated arm harness is ideal for late medieval and Renaissance settings. Equally suited for the portrayal of a broad array of historical figures and fictional/fantasy characters, it will make your transformation into a proud, noble knight or warrior just perfect, whether used for medieval re-enactment, LARP, stage, TV/film, costuming or cosplay.
The arm guards are sold as a pair.

Please note:
To ensure that this armour is the right fit for you, please remember to take your measurements over your gambeson and/or any piece of clothing or chainmail you may plan to wear underneath!
The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain plate armour on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
