elbow cops henry Griekse - Romeinse - Keltische schilden though similar fittings were alsoCouters were amongst the first pieces of plate steel to be added to the armour of medieval knights. They were typically worn over a hauberk and provided protection to particularly vulnerable areas. Couters such as these were already in use across much of Europe by 1320. The riveted rondels on these couters also protect the inside of the elbow. The pair of elbow guards is crafted from 1. 6 mm thick steel.
