"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."
                -- Scott O'Grady

That`s a shame Sir Brian because I really do like the look of the Wisby Gauntlets. But well done on a serviceable salvage  ;)

My ‘FrankenGaunts’ as I refer to them garnered several compliments and intense study from more than a few admirers at Short Point last weekend. One of the finalists borrowed them during his final two duels because his hands had been hit to many times and he wanted better protection. He loved how much mobility they had and the great protection they offered. All in all I’m pleased with them!  :)
