Thank you Robert!<br>
Yes, the model for my impression did indeed come from that book, although my inspiration was Plate "F" rather than "B", though the figures in Plate "B" are very nice too, but they are a bit early for the period of my unit.<br>
I think that is wonderful about the two guys being able to make any buckle you would like. I am such an amateur still, that I don't know much about all of the different buckles, and wouldn't be able to choose any certain one for myself, I think they are all beautiful! For me, it would be more of a case of "I'll take one of this one, one of that one, and one of that one...etc."<br>
I have been thinking of making a new belt, a wider one similar to the one shown on the Segontium group made by Nodge Nolan, and also similar to Aitor's, but how wide would you recommend the belt to be? I was also considering making the fittings myself from sheet brass, and just buying the buckle and tip.<br>
As for the shield discussion on the other thread, yes, I was referring to the reenactment group Britannia's web site. <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
