NI Gloves

The NI Gloves (british army issue) feature a leather pad over the knuckles - obviously desigmed for beating people in this way —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdbennet (talk • contribs) 23:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pad? Isn't more like a Boxing glove?Legitimus (talk) 00:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A leather pad probably wouldn't be considered "weighting" in a glove, so no, NI gloves don't count. They are good gloves though, very warm in winter! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.146.90 (talk) 14:41, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"SAP"/"sap" as a brand name

These items are most commonly called "sap" gloves, and the article might be better under that name. In any case, while it is widely assumed/implied that "sap" is a brand name (capitalization like "SAP glove" and "S.A.P. glove" seem to perpetuate the idea), the origin of "sap" was, evidently, not as a brand name--if it ever was a brand name at all. I have changed the article accordingly. A "sap" or "slapjack" is a relative of the blackjack and "sap gloves" are derived from the sap and they use flattened lead weights just as saps do. The image at the bottom of this page is most instructive: http://www.donrearic.com/sap.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.118.143 (talk) 10:30, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right. I understand what a sap is, though my understanding was it was a product title rather than a brand name. All the same, it's probably fine how you changed it. They are, more or less, saps worn on the knuckles.

Now regarding the sources you added, I'd like to format them properly into the text and also read them for myself. All New York Court of appeals decisions are publically posted on the web here: http://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/

Can you help me find People V David 1996? So far I have not been able to find any such case.Legitimus (talk) 14:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sand filled gloves

Variation or different type? Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 02:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Depends. Need a source for what you mean. Taking a regular leather glove and filling it up with sand to use as a blackjack-like bludgeon is a thing, but it's a different sort of weapon entirely.Legitimus (talk) 02:56, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
