historical archer's three fingered glove
Interesting, never heard of that before. For what time? Are there findings?Maybe you want to ask http://www.pfeilbieten.de/ Example here http://www.pfeilbieten.de/ich/start.php?section=militaerisches Though I have to add, depending on the period, I would rather use a bone plate riveted on leather strips, such as shown in the luttrell psalter, for example. The Mary rose findings are 16th... -------------------- Diu Minnezīt Reconstruction of textiles, armour and daily life 1250,1350,1475 Nuremberg and Paris http://www.diu-minnezit.de IG Meisterhauw Reconstruction of late medieval and early renaissance fencing techniques http://www.meisterhauw.de Nuremberg in the middle ages http://www.nuernberg-im-mittelalter.de

15th century Flemish Tapestry shows an archer using a three fingered glove. Don't know about any finds specifically.My scanner isn't setup so I can't scan the image, but if folks have: Osprey Militray: Warrior Series #11 The English Longbowman 1330-1515 Look on page: 30 (The Zomorra/Zamora Tapestry) Bartlett refers to the glove as a "skeleton" glove as it only covers the three drawing fingers. Apparenly this is not as common as the full leather glove. -------------------- ad finem fidelis

Oh my, just followed the link to Karl's work. Wow, wow, wow...Confession: I'm a glove collector. I have tons of them, everything from silly colored Wal-Mart wovens to four sets of ACW cavalry gauntlets and ten pairs of modern riding gloves. Now I've found more to scheme into my collection. I'm sick, I know it. Returning you to your regularly scheduled thread. -------------------- Dahlin', this can't be real emergency, I only brought one bottle of bourbon and one bottle of Tabasco...
