I think i've also seen that Tibettan one, the Byzantine kit still has the most apeal though. To be fair lamellar plates seem to get around and the basic shapes have probably been used everywhere at one time or another so it may not matter too much abut the hole patterns.

hmm odd, I was looking around las night some more and found nearly exactly that plate in an 8th century excavation in Korea ;

There could be a chance of movement though over time, I'll go byzantine I think cheers.

Recently I bought a set of Lamellar plates from Polar Bear Forge :

plate No 8.

However I am unsure what style or period they are from, any suggestions before i go blundering into a mix match kit ?
