Just to be pedantic I will point out that relatively speaking, a complex hilt rapier would protect an unarmored civilian hand, while anyone wielding an estoc would likely have a gauntlet or sturdier protection. For my money, the 30 Years War era of buff leather gauntlets with steel plates on the back of the hand but allowing for finer control on a pappenheimer is probably the ultimate form of hand protection for anything less than fully armored judicial dueling where you're doing 2 handed swings.
