Now there are those here who will argue the varied historicities of pointing legharness to a pourpoint worn under the arming-cote or -doublet, or of pointing to the arming-cote itself, with respect given also to your harness' period. The contending viewpoints run as follows: 1) Use a tailored armin...

My Dagger Scabbaed

Started work on this after Gulf Wars. Had the hardest time figuring out the best way to hang it because the dagger is so top heavy. Finaly came up with the idea of the "D" rings a couple of weeks ago. Put the finishig touches on it last Saturday.

David, that is a great start. Love the buckles. I was counting in my head. I've got about 28 buckles on my kit I would love to replace---when I hit the LOTO!

Is the pad loose or attached to the thigh.
