Yes, It's an heich type made by Manning imperial. I Wear an hardness of three phalerae made by Erik König about some finds which were on a box find in Herculanum. The Cnemides are made by Tony Feldon. I make the clupeum in rawhide.

A part of Legio XI CPF (Belgium) participated in a very large multi period event last weekend.
Here are a few pictures:

In case you were wondering, our centurio broke the crestfork for his transverse crest just before these pictures were taken, so he degraded himself to optio, and he was in a very very dark mood.

Hey Jef.
Nice pictures. It was an interesting weekend and yes your kit really looks good in real. It was also typical Historia weather.

Emmanuel,
Well done ! The greaves (Cnemides) are the best I've seen. Your shield is also interesting. It looks concave or "dished" shaped ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Jef, Your look great again in your latest kit. Is this your second event wearing it ? It looks like most ranks are represented in your Legio - archer, auxilia, legionaires, and a cornicen. Is your legio Trajanic or Flavian ? BTW, I wonder if the Vexillifer would really stand behind the front rank... ~Theo

I have bought the wood in the french firm "Cannes et Bâtons", but after I have made all the decorations piece by piece in rowhide.

A real good craftsman, for sure!
