Not so sure about that. I doubt that the rim of the shields were nailed on. And without large scale formations, I seriously doubt that such large oval shields were in use. Look at the Pictish shield designs on carvings. Small - for more heroic-style combat.

The heavy duty gloves and leather arm vambraces are certainly modern anachronisms, the kit of the re-enactors in that photograph would look great if it weren't for those modern items.

Leather armour with leather shoulder doubling. AFAIK, that is pure Hollywood. It goes nicely with the leather vambraces, though.

The re-enactor on the second left is wearing an interesting armour combination. Leather greaves may have existed, there is no evidence for them. British heroes fighting tribal wars would have no use for them - they are a lage scale shield-wall piece of armour. His (debatable) leather scale/lamellar has no protection for the groin, but it does for the sides of his hips???

Sorry to be so negative ... I've seen you guys up close at Kelmarsh, and some of your kit is great ... this photo does not do you justice.
