Sir Brian:
Last night I started breaking down an old pair of truly horrendous maille gauntlets I purchased a couple of years ago and “forgot” about in the back of my garb closet. I spent a few hours making a very rough one with only the prospect of spending an additional 6 – 8 hours completing a set that would still not even come close to these.  :-\


For the price of approximately $33.00 before shipping I think I’ll save myself the eye and finger strain!  ;)

Sir Wolf:
hey wow. they need a piece of leather that goes around the outside edge to draw them in.

who is selling them for 33 bucks?

Sir Rodney:
Nice find!

They're made by ULF and the part number is ULF-BMSZ-SB.  I can only find European distributors as my googlefu is weak this morning.  Is there an ULF distributor on this side on the pond?

Sir Wolf:
i bet you could contact KOA or Therion about this item. i mean they carry other GDFB stuff so they might be able to special order it for you.  be worth the email!!!

Yeah I noticed they need a bit of lacing on the outer edge, but definitely doable!  ;)

The price is actually $29.15 before shipping; shipment from UK is $33.23!  :o
For a total cost of $62.40 which really is reasonable IMO.

Unfortunately none that I’ve been able to find. I checked KOA but no joy there. They might special order them but I didn’t inquire. Depending on what the response is from the GDFB folks in the UK I might order them this morning.

Most definitely! But I am under a time constraint at this point but it would definitely be well worth inquiring about if someone else is considering on getting a pair! :)
