Christophe of Grey
Leathersmith/Archer

This is an arm guard I made for a lady who admitted that sometimes her bow string would strike her just above the elbow. This is a forearm guard with an upper section added/attached to provide protection for the upper arm as well as the forearm. If you look closely you can see there is a small flower in the middle of each basket weave stamp. The buttons are deer antler and I make them myself.

One of my every day arm guards. Basket weave stamping. 3 deer antler buttons. Lined with faux sheep skin for extra padding.

This shape is based on the Tudor bracer seen in exemplars this web site. The seated winged Greyhound is my household mark.

This bracer was made to support the Omnibus proposal. The edge has single loop lacing around it.

Another arm guard with the House of Grey seated winged greyhound. The shape is based on the Tudor bracer seen in exemplars. I experimented with edging stamping for fun.

This is a plain bracer I use most of the time at practices. Nothing special, it just works. The shape works for left or right handed shooters.
