Yes, Holger Ratsdorf's website has very nice components. He also gives find sites and dates too.
What period are you wanting to do? Invasion period? post 70AD/Flavian?
Nodge doesn't have a website nor does he advertise. It's all by word of mouth as he is always inundated with work! I have some pics of some of the things he makes if you're interested or tempted! :wink:

Yes. The grip plates are unfortunately cast bronze. These I silvered.
The scabbard had plain innacurate suspension loops, so I replaced them with the type B loops you can see in the photograph. It also didn't have a rivet on the terminal expansion, so I added that. (I believe Len puts them in now) I silvered the scabbard too.
Quote:So would ordering components from some of the german sites work out cheaper, as my belt/cingulum is very basic... I would settle for the bronze look for now, just want to replace the
strap discs for something better, and the terminals! I have seen a couple of different styles that are interesting, but not sure if good for our period.
