As I mentioned, above, glue holds the shield together. You will be able to find modern makers who can do them well, but you must be discriminating if you want historical accuracy. Try asking Tod: http://www.todsstuff.com. The great majority of things for sale on Kult of Athena are not particularly historically accurate. Remember, the number one concern of many, if not most, customers at Kult of Athena is: how cheap is it? Generally, the closer you get to historical accuracy, the more expensive an item becomes. For many customers, historical accuracy takes a back seat to cost. They simply will not spend beyond a certain amount for what they want. Consequently, most of the more accurate reproductions are produced by a comparatively small group of craftsmen and women. If you want higher volumes of sale, sell inexpensive stuff of dubious accuracy at a lower price point. |
Would you advice for me to get both my shield and scabbard from him?
For it to be historically accurate.?
Now for another question,
What would be the most historically accurate great helm?
