[edit] Protection provided

It covers the armpit...and what else?--Joel 17:00, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

The upper arm and shoulder. --Eyrian 23:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I'm almost certain the old image isn't actually a pauldron. The source doesn't specify, and it really looks like a couter with attached splinted vambrace to me. I've never seen a pauldron with wings shaped like that. I removed the image until someone claims otherwise. --Eyrian 23:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting that. It was the only public domain image I could find. I mistakenly identified it as a pauldron with a half-gorget and armpit smallshield variant, and I also thought it was a pauldron because the original image name said it was. --Berens 15:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
