@Lusitano: A question about your squamata armguard. Is this the way the scales are supposed to overlap and not in the other direction? Because it seems to me that it would be easy to get stabbed between the scales if they are in the direction yours are...
Nice impressions guys!

Or easy to be cut from an overhead swipe if they went the other way. Hard to say, y'know? Same would apply for a "manica segmentata". But generally speaking there would be padding, like the hair-stuffed linen pads below the scale/segments anyway, for the same reasons that padding goes under other armor, right?

Since I started this post I feel of course obliged to add a picture of me too. I had some taken at the Roman festival in Xanten by Marcel Bieger of the Karfunkel magazine and this is one of them.

It'll be a couple of months before I'll be ready to post any pics.
Loosing too much weight right now, and none of the impressions are completely ready yet.

Svenja,
Where did you get your provocator helmet? Was it made for you?

Hi John,
The helmet was custom made by a German smith who's not registered on this forum. He made it after the Pompeii find of the provocator helmet with the lunula repair marks on it. If you want I can give you his details by PN.

Svenja,
Please do. Did your helm come complete with the big crack and the lunula?

That was at the Parthenon (sic) at Nashville, TN. One h**l of a get together.
