Quote:Hmm - looks quite good Byron. I take it that you were doing a period types display.
I think Nunu's helmet is slightly too early for his armour but then again I see no fundamental reason why a seventy plus year old helmet might not still be in service if it was in good enough condition (although I would expect it to be fairly worn). I also know that he plans to update his armour some time soon to bring it into line with the current level of evidence.
It is good to see you getting to wear one your other helmets, although with that helmet I would have been inclined to wear a later pattern sword on the left on a wide baldric. You would also have the option of long sleeves to go with your bracchae.

Cheers Crispus.
I'm on the waiting list for a later period sword as we speak.....
And I do have the longer sleeved tunics read for it too. At least I hope they are correct for end of second cent. Which is what I want to get together anyway.
We were just a little free and easy that weekend to be honest....after
all, we actually lost to 2 women, so authenticity was really out the window anyway!! :lol: :lol:
And yes, I think NUNU has his eye on one of Peronis squamata.
Can't blame him really.
