Hello, Robert
Everything was there in combination-- as if I had scrounged it from the battlefield-- EXCEPT a subarmalis, which I really needed to relieve my shoulders. This armor will get a "cut," and I'll lose the segmentata and replace it with a secondary flap of lamellar, or perhaps 2 flaps to also replace the upper arm scales. Basically, it was an experiment. A rather heavy one.
