Each formed of an elbow-length, slightly flared, tubular cuff, five metacarpal plates, a shaped knuckle-plate, four scaled finger-defences, and the main plate of a hinged thumb-defence. The cuff, which is slightly shaped to the point of the elbow, is formed of an outer plate and a considerably shorter inner plate, connected to one another by rivets. The lower rear corner of the outer plate of the right gauntlet is repaired with a riveted internal patch. The cuff of the left gauntlet is split at the rear join. The main edges of the cuff have plain inward turns decorated with filed pairs of perpendicular notches. Each cuff is decorated with a raised medial band and a raised upper border polished bright against a blackened ground in the 'black and white' fashion. The metacarpal-plates, the knuckle-plates, finger-scales and thumb-defences are restored. It is possible that the restorations include reworked original plates as, for example, in the case of the first four metacarpal plates of the left gauntlet.

South German, possibly Augsburg The bright bands of the gauntlets show a medium to fairly heavy pitting and patination. The intervening spaces show a 'black from the hammer' finish that has been pitted, worn through to bright metal at some points, and been refreshed with black paint. reference term-106607 adlib-term-106607 61babb74-f8fd-3e53-abf6-c2c2f5dd351b 17th Century, Early reference term-108955 adlib-term-108955 fa7eb64c-1c2c-348a-bf06-730707ae47fb literal Germany Germany country Augsburg reference term-40136 adlib-term-40136 28e1cd6e-7c25-339f-8cd2-2aaae536a0c5 steel reference term-77115 adlib-term-77115 99c72af2-afdd-32d7-b889-3c3f47fa7bfe gauntlets two elbow gauntlets history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Down Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum
