This is a "pair" of elbow cops. Actually, one is real and one is a very well done modern copy. I was told it was made at the Met, so that is what I state. The work is definitely good enough for that to be the case, and the source had obtained a lot out of NY.
Elbow cop circa 1510-30
Decorated with flutes and recessed bands. A 'floating' cop used with separate upper and lower cannons of the vambrace. The mate is a very well made modern copy (to form a pair). The mate was made in the armouries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 7.5 in. tall Thickness varies between .020 and .045, mostly in the .030-035 range. There does not appear to be an intentional pattern in the thickness variation. 10 oz (275 g). [inv. num. A-53]
