Gathering my own kit; Balteus

[Xarim]

I am still very much doubting which type of plates to go for. First of all a quick question; red belts were quite common for the cinguli/baltei right?

Secondly, are there any measurements I need to take into account (spacing between plates)? I see photo's of people wearing belts with the plates next to one another, but I also see quite a few who have quite a large belt, in which the plates are susrounded by some free space (on all sides).

I really like type 268a & 268b on HR Replikate (http://www.hr-replikate.de/katalog/indep...image=0171), but then I would get more trouble in finding pugio-frogs..

On the other hand I am interested in:

Anyone here got experience with these belts?

Thank you
