Those were most likely oyster shucker gloves. They are pretty good priced, when you can find them.

  As I am just a lurker here, I probably shouldn't jump in, but back in my early SCA days a friend of mine made a pair of mailed gloves (mailed on the back only) that were litterly icepick proof. Granted they were a tighter link than most period mail, but impressive none the less.

It is more than obvious  that a thrust will take out a hand with a chainmail  covering, so that would not need to be tested.      

<snip>    I have to say that it's not obvious to me *chuckle*  Has anyone done any testing of this?  The only tests with thrusts  against chainmail  that I've seen have been against something like a sleeve (the gloves  I've seen have smaller links/rings) with long swords and the like.  I  do know that a butchers chain glove has kept my cousin's hand safe  from slips with a point.
