Hi Folkert,
I beg to disagree with your statement re Roman and Celtic reconstructions. My interest in this field dates back to the times when you quite simply did your research and approached your project by means of your own hands and skills. No shortcuts, no cheapy off the shelf stuff avaliable. Your apporach is exactly this and I wish everyone would follow your lead!!
My compliments for your craftsmanship and perseverance in completing the standard, I know just how much effort it takes.
It outclasses everything you could buy 'off the shelf' as seems to be the case with so many pieces of equipment these days. Copies of copies, misinterpretations of evidence, poorly researched, there's way too much of this stuff around. You have indeed set a standard for others to aim for and there's no difference whatsoever if it's a Roman or a Celtic subject. It always comes down to the same, simply do the math and get it right
