Show here your Germanic warrior impression

[AlexV]

Here some picts from 2009 to present day about german/frankish reenactment:

1) when i begun: a frankish (salian) warrior arround 470/80 AC:
- clothes as descripted down, large shield with pattern mixe from the notitia and covered with rawhide, a common spearpoint and a common francisca throwing axe for the late Vth cent. (axe type 1/A from Huebener, bad replica in regards of the angle between handle and sharp..)






2) a project for the Musée Itinérant: a frankih/saxon warrior, near the Channel, early VIth cent
-> based on a burial from Nouvion en Ponthieu (nord-west of Samarobriva).
The only adds are the textiles+ the umbo ( clothes from nydan/schlesswig/erstein, umbo based on the current model for the late Vth cent founded in Nouvion, Lavoye, Rhin-aera. Shield in beech, just stuck by several layers of linnen, and sewn for the periphery).
Dated between 490 and 520 AC.

Items:
- an axe (symetrical with back-hammer, francisca type 4/N from Huebener's classification. I have doubts about this was used as a weapon.. maybe more included to the tomb's furnitures as a symbol of some special task of propeties in his life..
- a little spearhead / large javelinhead
- a knife
- bronze twizers + bronze needle, with an iron plate to close the chaplain,
- two bronze buckles (1 little, i think to maintain the throusers)
- three belt appliques, in bronze, shaped as "scuta".




Items as founded in the tomb:
