Here's the terminal ends for the cingulum. Next comes the 5 rectangular plates for the top of the apron, then the "buttons". Haven't decided if I want to cast or stamp the buttons. But first things first, as it should be. The terminals were from the Albion moat, but I beat on them a little, trying to keep with the theme of the main belt plates.
And the baldric. Following the lead of a find reported by Adrian Wink (I think) I put brass hooks on the ends, so I can change to a different gladius and keep the same baldric. Scrimping is starting to come naturally. I don't know if that's a good thing.
