A good starting point might be a photo of one of these alleged Macedonian leather armours.

A rough translation of the thread from which those pictures were taken seems to state that the leather backing as seen there is a reconstruction, and not original.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It's taken a while, but it's nice to finally see it published.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
