I was making a batch of my standard concentric-ring Roman belt plates, and accidentally sort of... over-tweaked a few of them. Result was a hairline crack on one side of one ring on each of them. I've soldered the cracks so that only a tiny silver line shows from the front.

I have 10 regular plates, and 3 with a fold-over on one side for making the roll into a hinge. These are for attaching buckles or pugio (dagger) hanger-studs. That's just about enough for a full belt for a 34-36" waist.

Because these aren't perfect, I'm selling the set for $25, instead of the usual $3.25 ea (over $40).

US Priority s/h $4.

If anyone's interested, give me a holler.

Oh, if you're interested, you can see the rest of my Roman belt stuff here, including pics of the hinge-fold plates:

Shameless plug? I can live with that.

What size are the plates? Do you have more? If I could buy two more of the regular plates at you standard price I would be interested. Also what diameter are the apron studs?

This from my site:

These plates are the later Imperial type, made from sheet and in use from the mid-1st C AD.
They are 2" x 2-1/2" and have 1/8" ID rolls on either side. They have an embossed design of
concentric rings-a popular motif at the time.

Apparently, I forgot to include the size of the studs (important information on any resume!) on the webpage. They are 13/16 dia, so they fit nicely on a 1" apron strip.

Pell, the plates are sold pending confirmation, but shoot me an email.
