Available gear much improved now. What else is needed?

[Servio Caro (Javier Sánc]

Hello all

I think it is easy to find some things, like all kind of helmets, swords, etc, But as Mark and David say, simple things as jewelry are more difficult to find. I usually buy this things from a German craftsman that has good prices and very good quality and of course 100% accuracy. (I think most of you know him, if not PM me).

I don't know about vendors or makers of roman jewelry in the USA (at least in the level of the German craftsman), but I saw the fibulae from soul of the warrior and I liked it! they are simple, and very nice. Anyway in the USA there are some things that are not available in Europe (those wonderful bearskins for example...)

Finally I would say that basic things are available, I mean helmets, loricas, but everyone want always to improve their gear, to give it a personal touch, and this always take us in two ways: to do it by ourselves or try to find some good craftsmen..

and well, thinking about ask something... I will ask some cheaper aspis, because till I had mine, everybody asked me over 400 - 500 € (plus shipping) for a plain one, and I'm only a student!
