Very nice work!
"Is it a frame or a pad saddle?"
It's a very nicely made piece, so I sincerely hope it's a frame saddle, as the evidence from the Carlisle saddle covers effectively killed the validity of the pad saddle hypothesis ten years ago.
I like the belt a lot! Perfect for a very late first century or early second century AD impression. That is exactly the sort of look any 'Trajanic' period re-enactors should be looking for in the belts.
