Best Deals

Tophatter's makes every effort to have the lowest price on the internet for daily deals on the day they are offered for sale. This means that you will not find a lower price anywhere from a valid seller with an identical product. It is possible, on occasion, that you may find a lower price for the same thing on an eBay listing, but they are often used and we can't gauge the quality of the company or their service, so we don't even try to compare our product prices to them. We often list the "Retail Price" of an item for comparison purposes. This is typically the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or MSRP. Products are sold below MSRP in many instances, especially watches and jewelry. On the other hand, many of the top brands often don't allow any discounting from MSRP by their retailers except in special situations. Tophatter's does not attempt to portray the "Street Value" of an item. The street value fluctuates too much to effectively follow and there is no standard on which to base this price. You can get estimates of the price an item typically sells for elsewhere, on sites like Google Shopping or Amazon.com. Most of the time, however, Tophatter's will have the best price, and usually by a generous margin.

Description:

When fighting was almost entirely hand-to-hand, the thorough protection of the hand was necessarily of paramount importance. Armor for the head and body was, after all, but a second line of defense against the attack which penetrated the guard of the weapon. Any damage to the hand which controlled all offensive movements, as well as all parries, would place a combatant at the mercy of his antagonist. But the armorer had not only to give his attention to the protective qualities of the covering which enclosed a part so vulnerable and so likely to receive a wound, he had also to consider how he should least interfere with the use of so complicated a piece of mechanism as the human hand. It was on account of these very important considerations that one finds the gauntlet always more complicated in the details of its construction than the rest of the protective outfit.Underneath the plate was worn a suede glove, to the fingers and thumb of which small overlapping scales were attached to complete the defense of the hand. Hourglass gauntlets are considered the zenith of medieval gauntlets. This museum replicated set of gauntlets offers our customers a 16 gauge combat grade thickness carbon steel construction with a flare back and a black suede glove interior. The suede glove helps to protect the hands in many ways and allows the sword wielder to have a solid and firm grip when fighting. Each finger piece has been riveted down and very flexible allowing each finger to fold freely. The suede glove is seamlessly stitched down to and attached to the 16 gauge steel gauntlet.An example of this type may be seen on the brass of Sir John de Saint Quintan in Brandesburton Church, Yorkshire, which may be dated at about 1397. The famous effigy of Edward, Prince of Wales, known as the Black Prince, in the cathedral church of Canterbury depicts this masterful warrior wearing this kind of hand defense.
