Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts

Quote:Would the Ribchester be appropriate for a mid 1st century signifer? I know the dating on it is about 100 AD.

First, the ribchester helmet has a decorated back, which I wouldn't cover with a pelt. I would say this is clearly a cavalry helmet. Furthermore, I would date it even a bit later, with first half 2nd century. This would make it rather early for mid 1st century use.
