Very good comment - Perhaps Mike Bishop can have a quiet work in the conservators ears sometime and put them in the know. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sadly nobody outside the re-enactor community pays much attention to what I say ;-) There is (or was) a Corbridge type lorica seg in a Leicestershire museum that is displayed on its mannekin back to front, so pretty much anything is possible. However, I'll certainly mention it to one of the curators (and to cause you all some wry amuseument, I hadn't spotted that particular boo-boo in what is, after all, my national museum; ho hum...).
