Gothic Arm Protection

Epic Armoury’s Gothic Arm Protection is a set of steel elbow cups or couters, designed to protect the elbow joints. The elbow cups are rounded with reinforcing ridges and decorative steel rivets. Around the rim of each cup, a large V-shaped flange deflects blows away from the elbows. A half-rerebrace protects the upper arm while a vambrace protects the forearm below the couters. Top-grain leather straps are used to close the braces and a third leather strap around the elbow keeps the piece in place.

The Gothic Arm Protection is made from mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is historically inspired by the Renaissance, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armors, allowing freedom to combine armors and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs.

HISTORY

• Gothic style historically developed in the 1420-1440s thanks to technological advances
• Characterized by the curves, flutes and ridges, which strengthened the armor and deflected projectiles
