Sir Brian:
Sweet! I know you'll like them better. BTW my modified steel gaunts work great! :)

I think those are Jeffrey Wasson's work. Top shelf armor.

Not bad...looking at https://plus.google.com/photos/101692441556602403365/albums/5534867207099894225 for about 350 too...i think that might include shipping...how hard do you think building my own wisby gloves, using the kit I linked above, would be? How many hours of labor?

Something that Sir Ian educated me about, and might make a difference here, is that the hourglass gaunts at that link don't have a secondary sliding knuckle-plate. It needs this to be historical, and also it enhances the motion of the gauntlet quite a lot. It facilitates making a fist without the top of the gauntlet pulling tight and resisting it.
Don Jorge:
What would a secondary sliding knuckle plate look like and how can I spot it?
EDIT: I think I see what you mean...at the top knuckle where it goes from a demi to a fingered gauntlet there is a second plate there which I am assuming is riveted the top of the hand and has a slide hole...I think I understand it now...
