Steel arm protection like the 14th Century Full Arm Armour was used during the transitional period of armour. The half rerebrace and vambrace design of the arms is inspired by several brass gravestone reliefs from the period. The steel armour is equipped with round wings for additional coverage. It can be easily combined with chainmail and mitten gauntlets, as was typical at the beginning of the 15th century. The medieval arm armour is quite versatile protection offering a wide range of outfit combinations for LARP and other historical re-enactments.
Please note that steel thickness may vary slightly due to the handcrafted methods used in the manufacture of this item.

They come as they appear in the pictures and are oiled too!
I suggest getting 3rd market Leather lacing so you can run that through the top holes on the arms to fasten them to either your Chainmail or Padded Gameson.
Other than that they are good!
