Soldiers were also not always allowed to glean gear from the field for them selves, items scavenged would be turned over to superiors, certainly small items could be kept, but this would be akin to theft, Large items especially items above ones station would be difficult keep and use.

I disagree, 12/13 ga would be a better choice. Even though it overlaps its just strips of steel, it does not have the benefit of being spherical and therefor strong.

Those look great Jeff, nice finnish and attention to detail. If i might offer a suggestion, I think you should make your nasals/ verticle portion of the brass on the great helm a little narrower.

The sugarloaf is a difficult one to document as there are no surviving examples.
There are occasional sugarloafs depicted in illumination. The Mac bible comes to mind as one source.

If you could get your hand on "the art of warfare" the Axel Guttmann Collection Pt 1 This is a Christies auction house catalog from wed nov 2nd, Its a great semi hardcover, just short of 160 pages, full of glossy pics of a ton of bronze weapons and armours, imho its the best book on ancient armours,...

I always assumed the sca celtic kidney belt was an attempt to emulate the eary bronze celtic battle belts of which there is plenty of documentation
