Vambraces are forearm guards worn mainly in Eastern Europe and Byzantium in Antiquity and the first half of the Middle Ages.
They consist of a layer of leather onto which steel splints are riveted. The guard is then laced onto the arm.
These vambraces are made of 4 mm leather. The steel is 2 to 3 mm thick depending on need and the wearer’s physical condition. The steel splints are fastened with bronze rivets.
The splints can be made of hardened steel to order.
