The tapering I am refering to is slite. If you have a copy of The Amour Of Imperial Rome 1975 First edition,pages175,180-181 Russell Robinson has put in a slite taper. This is to aiiow the plates to slide between each other without jamming so you can touch your toes. I have been making armour ect for 20 years. Ive also worked under the late John Anstee re pattern welded swords 1955 first experiment who also knew Russell Robinson with his job and found him to be a good chap.Also you will find most loricas in uk have this slite taper.
