Full Armor Description

Tannhauser marked them as big enough to fit over his own boots and examined the rest of the collection. There were no complete leg fitments of a length to suit him, so he levered out some rivets to dismantle what was there, rolled his boots down to the knees, and crammed a pair of schynbalds down the front. He found poleyns that with some stomping were reshaped to accommodate his knees. He unrolled his boots back up the groin and stuffed their tops with thigh plates. The ensemble chafed here and there but was preferable to a scimitar across the shins. He dismantled his own bale and donned the fluted cuirass, which had been forged in Nuremberg by Kunz Grunwalt. Bors helped him buckle on the pauldrons and vambraces. Bors surrendered the sabatons but disputed the single pair of full-finger gauntlets to fit either one of them. On account of the Damascus musket, Tannhauser won and stuck them in his belt. Bors found a pair of armored mittens and made do. Their helms were morions, high-crested and open-faced with cheek and jaw guards tied beneath the chin with red silk ribbons.
