    I'm sure this is not old. Vintage at best. Seems to be a replica of something. Use it to ward off competitors at the Goodwill?

    This may be yet another case that could benefit from having @Any Jewelry take a look.

    I think the correct term is a bladed gauntlet.
    An offensive weapon in many countries.

    Good memory on that other one on Antiquers, AJ.

    Excellent info, everyone. Thank you!

    Rather than using it for combat at the GW, think I'll try mine on Ebay as a repro- we'll see what happens!

    It is not necessarily a repro, just something they never stopped making. I'd call it traditional.

    As you can see from the bloody mess on top, and the can still closed, it didn't quite work as planned. Are you ok Lucille? Should we call a relative?
