#14-b1

In later periods, the entire articulated arm harness  was properly called a vambrace
Yet, in armours which are not articulated, but have the coulters laced on to a jacket the forearm is
protected by a vambrace, the upper arm is protected by a rerebrace!

This provides a never ending source of confusion, needless to say!

For the purposes of communication, therefore, I refer to the
 fully articulated arm harness AS a fully articulated arm harness,
 and let the period police worry about how many vambraces can dance on the head of a pin

This is the arm harness which is found in the
#2suit, upgraded version.
(Sometimes people only want just the one arm, so they are priced by the each)

Articulated Elbow Cop

This Elbow cop is one size fits all, and goes perfectly with the vambrace and rerebraces on the previous page.

#14-b3

Rearbrace
as used on the armour shown in 14b1
(I know...I know...articulated arm harnesses
don't have rerebraces.  So what do YOU call em?)

This shows the south tower articulated arms in action.
