Hehe - the hotest current topic among Estonian vikingage reenactors is authenticity of leather armour - specially protecting hands and legs

Haha. So whats german interpretation of bajeux tappesty - on some fighters there are braunish texture on arms that is not seen in "civilian" figures of the tappestry - leather armguards or not?

I never looked into that subject, Vikings are simply not my thing, but i have a good copy of the tapestry at home.
I think you are referring to the warriors in chainmail?
In my opinion that is more likely to be cloth, similar to civilian clothing.
