"The buckles are by Holger Ratsdorf from Germany. The pugio suspenders from a vendor who got them from india. They were very weak at first but i got them strengthened by soldering them. The apron discs are 20 eurocent pieces."
That seems like an extremely good use for the Euro!
Your sword and dagger look to be by Len Morgan to me. If I were you I would get rid of the short straps connecting the dagger sheath and frogs. They are a modern convention and there is zero evidence that the Romans used them. The upper suspension rings should be in line with the frog buttons. I would suggest using thonging to tie the suspension rings tightly to the frogs, but Peronis has found that using *very* short leather tags can also work well if done well.
