My new hourgalss gauntlets
I commissioned these with Jiri Klepac in the Czech Republic. Jiri and I toyed with a number of deisgns, but the early "Ash" gaunts, the Black Prince gaunts, and the more traditional hour-glass gaunts. I finally decided to go for a classic: the gaunts associated with the Churburg #13 harness. The original is missing the finger plates, so the finger as somewhat speculation, though I think in keeping with the design of the piece. These gaunsts are on their way to me as I write. I'll write up a review after I receive them and glove them.

Here's some pics:

Nice. Those are far too pretty to hit someone in the face with.

It is obvious that you only hit pretty people with fine looking gauntlets like these ! :p

Seriously , they look very nice indeed. I like the decoration too.Many people make nice gauntlets of this pattern and then screw up the brass work, but these look very nice indeed. I will be interested to hear how much movement you have with the rider plate at the knuckles when you get them. Great looking gauntlets !

Thanks for the pictures.

Regards as ever,

Russ
