Nice belts everyone. Rado I really love yours, amazing!
Here's my first attempt at a belt. I still need to attach the pugio frogs. I scavenged the embossed plates from a cheap Indian belt and made the plain plates from sheet brass, attached with copper rivets to a tandy belt blank. The buckle is one from my ancient collection while I await Matt Lukes piece in the mail. Haven't decided if I'll add an Apron yet. Yes the Deepeeka pugio is on the "Things to Avoid" list but I bought it before I knew what I was doing LOL.
EDIT: Well, since posting I ended up attaching the pugio holders. Here's a pic with the belt on the mannequin. I wish I had used a smaller head rivet...I'll make the next one better.
