This short bracer is about 3 inches in width and made with a dragonscale weave. The large rings are 16 gauge 3/8 ID red anodized aluminum and the small rings are 18 gauge 1/4 ID brass. This trim at the top is acctually a 180 degree seam that stops before the other side is added on. As you have probably noticed, I like my bracers short. This bracer is about 6 inches in width and made with the dragonscale weave. The large rings are 16 gauge 3/8 ID brass and the small rings are 16 gauge 1/4 ID red anodized aluminum. The sides are tapered to conform to the shape of my arm. Approximately 1,000 rings. The weave on this bracer is known as King's Scale. The rings are 16 gauge 1/2 ID brass and 14 gauge 3/8 ID galvanized steel, and the piece is mounted on a brown suede backing. The bracer measures about 3 1/2" wide and is very strong, however, it is also very heavy! >
