Rawhide Shield Edging

[Tarbicus]

So be it - rawhide Very Happy

Errmm; so be it rawhide, or leather :wink:

I really don't care that much because I'm not making an impression of an eastern legionary, so cupric alloy or brass is my choice. I understand the reasoning behind rawhide and always have, but as we all know we can sometimes end up saying, "Why the hell did they do that? It would have made so much more sense if they had <insert more sensible technique> instead."

One thing is obvious from the book, and that is rawhide was used to reinforce handgrips. I'll use my doggy chews for that.
