Full Coverage Manica

[Peroni]

However, one thing and maybe you know this, but the manica samples that were found, at least to my knowledge, were 20 or 22 gauge not 18 gauge.

Curle's Newstead report on the Newstead manica remains states.."Altogether there were more than one hundred fragments (Plate XXIII.). These consisted for the most part of thin plates of brass from one inch to
one inch and three-sixteenths in width, slightly curved, and having a thickness of two mm. The longest piece was about three and a half inches in length.

Also..
"Upon several of these there are still to be seen adhering pieces of the leather backing to which they have been attached".
