Here, at long last are some pictures of my shield harness, which has yet to be modified in the light of my findings on Hadrian's Wall.

Firstly: the view from the front with the shield slung. The pale strap is the torso strap. The main strap is slightly difficult to see as it has slipped under the shoulder plates. I have pushed the shield back a bit for clarity. Normally the front edge would rest slightly forward of where you can see it.

Secondly: the inside of the shield with the harness attached. All four straps are visible as are the buckles. As you see, the ends of the main straps pass around the handle and buckle back onto themselves.

Thirdly: a close-up of the main straps on the handle. This method of attachment proved remarkably stable and the straps stayed in this position throught, without moving.

When I modify it I will post up photos of the modified version as well.
