On one of the plate the ancient owner has put his initials so I have made similar here.
I have variants with my previous manufactured belts where all the pugio plates have snakescent tape on the tubes.
Production of these details is a very, very slow and difficult process.From this picture, it can be seen that all plates, regardless of which version they are, are fitted with axes in the tubes. On each ball before the assembly hole is drilled.All this takes a long, long time. Tinning of the balls takes place alternately on both sides of the tubes.
It is understood from the museum publication that there is also a plate with 3-hole included in the whole set. I tried to re-create it from a sheet of brass and plug it into the belt apron.
