13th Century Steel Elbow Cops

Steel armour for covering the elbows and knees started to become more common in the second half of the 13th century. The 13th Century Steel Elbow Cops offer a classic look ideal for matching 1250-1350 armour styles. The steel couters possess a rounded look, and a ridge runs down the center of the elbow armour. The steel elbow cops are lined with cotton canvas for increased comfort, and leather straps buckle them securely in place. The medieval couters work well for LARP events and historical re-enactments!

Please note that steel thickness may vary slightly due to the handcrafted methods used in the manufacture of this item.
