Photos can be misleading.
Are you referring to their Balteus (baltii?) Or the pugio + strap? We try to replace and improve our kits as we go.
Besides, we were going to get to that strap and replace it with a leather string. We got distracted with getting everyone all geared up and ready, forgot about it.
I don't believe I heard anyone tell us "Hey, that strap is wrong!" Certainly when the Scutum hides that left side really well.
Quote:There is just one thing spoiling the picture. You must have a gentle chat with the chap on your left (to the right in the picture) and get him to remove that abomination from his belt, along with the two inaccurate straps attached to it. The same possibly applies to your other companion as well I am afraid.
