This museum replicated set of gauntlets offers our customers a 16 gauge combat grade thickness carbon steel construction with a flare back and a suede glove interior. The suede glove helps to protect the hands in many ways and allows the sword wielder to have a solid and firm grip when fighting. Each finger piece has been riveted down and very flexible allowing each finger to fold freely. The suede glove is seamlessly stitched down to and attached to the 16 gauge steel gauntlet.
