IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 18650 accession number: HEN.M.150-1933 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 11 January 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Gauntlet, for duelling, of fingered form, for the right hand. Formed of a moderately long, tubular cuff, three downward-overlapping wrist-plates, five upward-overlapping metacarpal plates, a shaped knuckle-plate, four scaled finger-defences and a hinged, scaled thumb-defence. The cuff is closed at the inside by an overlapped and riveted join. Its straight upper edge has a plain inward turn bordered by small stitching-holes. The inside of the cuff is crudely pierced with a large suspension-hole. The cuff, the wrist-plates and the metacarpal-plates are connected to one another at each side by sliding-rivets. The finger-scales overlap upwards whereas the thumb-scales overlap downwards. The knuckle-plate, the finger-defences and the thumb-defence are restored. The upper edge of the cuff is bordered by a pair of incised lines and further in with five incised lines. The lower edges of the cuff and the wrist-plates, and upper edges of the metacarpal-plates are decorated with pairs of incised lines. The wrist-plate is decorated internally with five transverse incised lines, suggesting that it has been turned inside-out. title: gauntlet NOTES ----- type: history note value: Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Down Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex.
