Description
The mightiest warriors in history are frequently depicted with some form of arm guard, and they were probably in use well before these historical references. The materials have ranged from leather to bronze, to iron reinforced leather and to steel. When the head and hands were protected by armor, the lower arm was one of the prime targets in sword play. In many cases, vambraces were the only piece of armor worn, most often along with a mail shirt. This pair of steel lower arm guards will go with a large range of period outfits and weapons. They are nicely formed and lined with leather. The straps on the inner arm adjust so it will fit just about anyone.

One of them was perfect, but the other arrived rusty.
Very lightweight, and they are easy to attach.
