The 4th plate has a ccentral slot which engages the peg at the top of the turning collar. Upper canon including a turning collar.

Cop of bracelet form. Later (almost certainly 20th c.). Joined to the vambrace by a single lame. The vambrace formed of two pieces joined by a pair of hinges laterally and a pin engaging a hole medially. The wrist and inner elbow with inward turned roped rolls. The vambrace appears to be have been made to be used with a floating elbow and is probably mid 16th c.
