Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#37
Hey Jef, I have given laudes to you Big Grin .

These are my brass stamps who I have made today.

I have understood the leather strips are called: apron straps.


There is only some confusion about the buckle and dagger frogs. My plan was to make a mall and fill it with tin. I is not very strong so I put a metal frame in there. But I think it is not authentic. How did the Romans make it, especially the dagger frogs?

What was the length of the space of the indicated area? If I know this I could calculate the shape. Tomorrow I will buy brass Smile

Thanks for helping
(aka Niels)
