Hi Agraes
I did read that the North British Kingdoms were using their skill with horses learned from Roman cavalrymen to fight the Saxon/Germanic tribes. Giving them a slight advantage over larger enemy bodies.
What references do you have for your equipment if you don't mind me asking.
I know that the British Kingdoms had trade with the eastern empire from finds in Wales this might have allowed them access to late roman weapons as you say.
As you say it is hard finding hard evidence since there has been no swords found and very little equipment.
