portion of a splint arm protection 1510
Consisting of elbow, forarm and hand protection. Elbow covering the outside and point of the elbow with a simple slightly flared form slightly puckered to fit to the bend of the elbow and with a central boss formed with a central crease. Elbow marked with a city stamp. Forarm of gutter formed with a central slot to secure the hand protection. Hand protection on three leathers. Hand protection of three plates secured to a fourth wrist plate. The slot allows the wrist/hand protection to be retracted and adjusted to fit arms of different lengths. Leathers replaced and broken. Holes for strap across the elbow and a strap in the center of the vambrace. It is difficult to determine the original form of the elbow strap since the back has three holes. Two could be used for a Y strap, the central one could be for a straight strap.
Measurements: Thickness (checked in a few places each): vambrace .030-.040, elbow .040-.050, hand .025-.030 inch.
