Armor Damage

Avete<br>
<br>
This is a pic of the segmentata of Gaius Britannicus Graccus of Legio IX Hispana (USA) at the SCA's recent Estrella War in Arizona USA<br>
<br>
Note the dent on the back of the left shoulder.... delivered by a simulated sword of solid rattan, 1 1/4" in diameter (no padding)<br>
<br>
The fully doubled lobate hinge of .20 brass was not hardened after annealing... it remains somewhat soft and pliant.<br>
<br>
The "T" hinge on the other side replaced an earlier lobate hinge that suffered a similar fate at a prior event.<br>
<br>
Britannicus was wearing a subarmalis, shoulders padded to about 1/2" thick. His skin showed no apparent bruising from the blow though he was slightly sore for a few days after.<br>

Nasty!<br>
<br>
The link brings up a "forbidden" message. This is because it is stored on a server reserved for thelegioixhispanagroup Yahoo Group members. This is also the reason why the image will not display in the posts.<br>
<br>
I would be willing to load the image up on my website and post it here if you are ameable to the idea<br>
I was able to find the image by logging into the group as I am a member but not everyone here is.<br>
<br>
I would be willing to load the image up on my website and post it here if you are amenable to the idea. This will mean I will have to learn how to post the image on the forums here.<br>
<br>
Let me know.<br>
<br>
One could imagine the damage that would have been done if not for the shoulder protection.<br>
