I know this isn't going to be much of a helpful answer, but yes it is possible.  A
common way seems to be the parent-child relationship.  The hand is the parent of the
Gauntlet/Sword.

You could use a full skeletal structure to represent the player and do mesh
deformations (no, I have noooo idea how to do this =).  You could also record all the
movements of your players as individual meshes and just position the Sword/Gauntlet
according to the position of a specific vertex in the player mesh (parent-child).
