Elbow Defense (Couter)
The elbow defense is made of silver-colored metal. The upper arm portion is a short tube with a slight curve. The lower arm portion is a longer tube with a slight bend. A large, curved piece protects the elbow. This piece has a protruding lip on the outside. The elbow piece is fastened to the upper and lower arm sections with round rivets. There are three visible rivets on the outside and one on the inside. A small strap is attached to the elbow piece on the inside. The background is light gray.
