They are beat to crap and one is torn at a weld joint across the whole piece. I gave them to the metal artist/SCA armorer who is working on custom greaves for me. They are partial payment and probably go into a mixed metal art piece some day. The custom greaves are a learning process for him. I will post a full essay on their development (with pics) when they are done. One is close, the other, not so much. I am excited, they will fit like a glove - err - stocking. I am in charge of polishing and lining them (to save labor costs). We burnished a few square inches to see what that looked like. I'm leaning in that direction - I like shiny and gleaming! Greek bling is all the rage, doncha know!
