Unique arm guard...does anyone remember?
« on: July 15, 2010, 03:22:00 PM »
Does anyone remember several years ago there was a picture of a rather good-looking blonde lady on the cover of TRADITIONELL BOGENSCHIESSEN magazine where she was wearing a long "bracer" type armguard that reached from her elbow all the way to her grip, with a hole for her thumb?
Does anyone know where I can find that picture?  I need to send the picture to a leatherworker.

Basic detective skills led me to Google the magazine and check their archives. The first thing that looked like what you were describing was a pic from 2001. Long memory, Tom. Here is a link.

I am thinking she wasn't blonde.

I didn't see the movie, but I think I saw Russell Crowe wearing a guard like that in one of the trailers for Robin Hood or in a still that popped up on one of the boards.   I thought it looked pretty neat.

I think I found it.     Go to:

 http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2388233728/tt0955308

This is a promo site for the Robin Hood movie and it has a big slide show of stills.   I quickly found several of Crowe wearing the kind of guard you describe.   Unfortunately, i couldn't take them down or save at a size that would be helpful, but if you got the best shot on screen, maybe you could print.

BTW, Dick - how was that Robin Hood movie?  Worth watching?

Tom...   I was able to find and print the picture I referred to.   If you send me an email direct so I have your address, I'll scan it and send you a copy.  I'm sure it's the design you were looking for.   Pretty neat!

Didn't bother with the movie.   From everything I could gather it was poor film making and poor story telling.   I'll take my Robin Hood straight, thank you.

I like the bracer but I wouldn't get caught dead wearing that bib (even though my wife says I need one sometimes).

Thanks, Pete.  I don't know how I missed it.  My wife constantly reminds me that I can't find my own bottom lip sometimes......

I need a picture of a "rather good looking blond lady" with a archery thing too. I'm mostly interested in the archery thingie.  Really  :)
