They are just fantastic. I ordered 4 of them and have placed them on a leather war belt. The craftsmanship is incredible and I always get comments on how stunning they look. The metal is high quality and even in the extreme heat and humidity of the U.S.S. South they have not rusted or tarnished. I love these and thankyou. -David Eberhart
Thank you! :)
A simple, elegant addition to my armor set up. I experimented with a few ways of wearing these. For the stage work I'm doing, wearing these over a pair of leather gloves as a hand plate seems to be the best bet. The one change I might make is to replace the simple strap with a strap-and-buckle, to more easily adjust it to where and how I'm wearing them on my hands and whether it will be with just a glove, or over a armor gauntlet.
I'm curious about what kind of price range to expect if I wanted custom ornamentation on a rondelle plate.
Yes, please send us some sketches of the ornamentation you`d like to get, and we'll calculate the price for you.
