Looking for Lorica Segmentata Hardware--Any Leads?

I am mainly looking for the hinges for the shoulders in stainless or at least a white brass or regular steel as long as they are silver colored. I would also like to see what else is available. Anyone have some links to who sells them?

I don't know what he'd charge, but I'm sure this fellow could do it, and they'd be right.

I believe, at one time Alan Bauldree (AB HAMMER) was planning on making just the hardware set s for sale. I do not remember what the outcome was. If you cannot contact him perhaps HG Icefalcon or Ulrich at Known World Treasures could get you in touch with him?

Thanks, I will try to contact Alan. I am toying with cutting out the large hinges out of stainless myself for this project. I have found a supplier for brass fittings from one of the Indian companies, but don't know how accurate it is yet, or if I will even go down that route, still looking.

With as many Romans as there are out there, I thought that there should be lots of hardware out there somewhere.

Thanks.
