I agree - very nice!
Just one thing which I hope will be helpful.
Your baldric arrangement, whilst very nice, would be very old fashioned in comparison with the rest of the kit. Such a baldric would be typical of the late second to mid third centuries AD. We cannot say for certain when they went out of use but I think it is generally agreed that they had gone out of use well before the mid to late fourth century period the rest of your kit seems to indicate. A narrow sword belt or baldric would be far more typical for that period.
For the rest of your kit, well done indeed!
I hope that this helps.
