"I think you have maybe over done the zinc sun block.... "
Ah well - that type 'A' mask will have been over a hundred years old by the time it was fitted to the Imperial Italic type 'G' helmet. At that venerable age I think it would need all the protection it could get and sun block might be just what it needed. :grin:
"Unfortunately they are needed for the fights. We have a very hard battle to protect and wrist. "
I see. :-?
Actually, I have been a combat re-enactor myself in the past and I do understand the protection issues you seem to be invoking. However, if it was really protection you were after, why does the protection not continue over your hand? In my experience the right hand is the part of the body most likely to be hit in re-enactment combat. :evil:
