Welded finger gauntlets with pointed spikes on the knuckles. The edges are rolled and roped throughout. The tassets have a brass double headed eagle coat of arms. There is a crown over the eagle's heads and the shield on its chest has a castle in the upper left and lower right. The lower left and upper right have a rampant lion.

Very good overall. There are some scattered scratches and some patches of discoloration. A very impressive suit with numerous embossed elements, that would be standout in an office or for foyer setting.
