Here we find the outfit more elaborate than that scheduled at Dover. The various “stakes” in use show that there were special appliances for making every part of the armour, both as regards the anvils and the hammers. The “halve” with the two chisels is, of course, the haft or handle, which could be fitted to either. The “vi stokks to set the Tolys” are presumably handles in which the tools were fixed. The “ponchons” are punches used in the repoussé work. The “xvi dobles” were probably heavy iron models on which the various pieces were shaped. Two specimens in the Tower (a morion, IV, 227, and a breastplate, III, 209), are considered by the present Curator to be dobles, for they are cast and not wrought, are far too heavy for actual use, and have no holes for rivets or for attaching the lining. In the illustration given on Plate VI, taken from Hans Burgmair’s _Weisz Künig_, many of these tools are shown in use. The engraving was produced by an artist who was also a designer of armour, so they would certainly be correctly drawn. The various small stakes are all in use and all the work is being done with the metal cold, for the men are holding it with their hands. This working of the cold metal tends to compress the crystals and to make the metal hard, and is more than once alluded to in works upon armour. Gaya, in his _Traité des armes_,[43] mentions this detail, and again Jean de Saulx-Tavannes[44] mentions “cuirasses battues à froid” when speaking of armour of “proof,” which is also noticed in the present work under that heading.

Most of the items in this roll were supplied by curriers or tailors, for the weapons and armour were of wood or leather, and metal does not seem to have been used. 1300. _Wardrobe Expenses of Edward I._[45] Una Cresta cum clavis argenti pro eodem capello. 1301. _An indenture on the delivery of the Castle of Montgomery by William de Leyburn to Hugo de Knoville._[46] Unum incudem et i martellum et ii suffletis ovi valoris.
