It's Deurne, in the Netherlands. Tht pattern in B&C is copied from a drawing made before the Great War (FWW)! and re-publishd without changes in the seventies (H. Klumbach ed. 'Spätrömische Gardehelme') and is highly defective<br>
Moreover after a long discussion on that shoe with Carol van Driel, she has published new accurate drawings but her reconstruction about how that shoe closed at the ankle is pure guesswork.<br>
I'd be really interested on seeing your reconstruction<br>
I suppose that you've seen mine of one of the campagi from the same findspot, as I've posted the pic several times on different threads.<br>
Of course, I took several photos of the closed Deurne shoes when I was at Leiden, ten years ago...<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
