NOW TAKING ORDERS - March/April deliveries
Price: $450 - $550
During the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, the hands were protected by iron or (more rarely) steel gauntlets that featured individual finger protection.
Many modern students of medieval swordsmanship, however, prefer "mitten" gauntlets like those innovated in fifteenth century Italy. Such defenses were extremely popular by the end of the fifteenth century and throughout the sixteenth.
But for those who like to reenact the fourteenth century, or to study the fighting treatises in Western martial arts, many of these mitten gauntlet designs are actually "out of period."
These gauntlets, crafted from spring or stainles steel, offer superior hand protection while capturing the design essence of fourteenth century "hourglass" gauntlets.
- Bell cuff for enhanced mobility while still offering wrist protection
- "Tournament" thumb designed to give maximum protection for the thumb while still enabling feel of the weapon. Shaped like a little bascinet, it protects the thumb from most compressive injuries.
- High quality leather glove included, or unassembled & unfinished kit available
- Currently these gauntlets are in production, for delivery in late March or early April.
For those who study the use of polearms--poleaxes, and the like--mitten gauntlets are indispensable! These gauntlets offer nimble weapon-handling while still offering powerful protection.
From a design perspective, we have created the tooling for this product based on originals by Brian R. Price. They feature the "gothic" arch metacarpal (back of the hand), and can be decorated like finger gauntlets, with a bracelet, cuff or decorative brass.
The standard version comes complete and ready-to-wear with size "L" gloves. Note that the above photo is of the prototype; the finished gauntlets will be assembled using rivets and will not use brass for the finger ridge or thumb plates.
Note that the designers, Revival and Revival Martial Arts cannot warrant the safety of our equipment for any particular activity as we cannot know the uses to which our items may be put. Check with your local safety officer regarding specifics for the activity you are pursuing.
