AHOY there!!

Has anyone here ever attempted to make their own standard (s)? Just wondered if there may be instructions for this somewhere.

Very Grateful.

Cheers,

Several groups have.

Matt Lukes in Canada has made some real schnazzy parts for a Signa...We're hoping to have ours all assembled soon!

Leg III Cyr has a hand embroidered Vexillum based on the (only) known Vex from Egypt - there's a picture on our front page on our website.

Another Leg III Cyr member has made some new Vex's for the group as well.

Off the top of my head, I know Leg XX http://www.larp.com/legioxx/signum.html has made thier Vex and Signa, and also have some notes about them.

Leg XXIV http://www.legionxxiv.org/signum also has a Vexillum, Signa, as well as an Aquila, Draco and a Bull standard.

Leg XXX in Canada - http://www.geocities.com/legioxxxcoh1/ I believe made thier own Aquila using a Bronze cast Eagle sculpture they scored off of eBay, and made thier own base, shaft and funiture. I *think* it was Magnus who mentioned a while ago searching for "Napoleonic" bronze eagles as well.
