The Bowe Manica, dating to approximately 400AD in England, indeed had a plate to protect the hand and the thumb of the handle. The Carlisle Manica had a plate to protect the back of the hand.

However, I do not know if all did, I can think of a few examples that didn't (of course they could always be missing plates) but I cannot recall the names.
