Forth Armoury--Steve Sheldon, 1-770-815-5323, http://www.forth-armoury.com/.  Riveted mail, plus loose rings and rivets--made for medieval mail, however, so rings are all flat in section and rivets are wedges (rather than round-wire rings and round rivets as Romans usually used.)

Find-It Armory --http://www.finditarmory.com.   Offers a very inexpensive Pompeii gladius, #SDK1171, with heavy blade but otherwise compares decently to Deepeeka's.  Scabbard is somewhat better, in fact.  See bottom of Gladius page for details.  (Avoid the rest of their products, including SDK1172!)

SHIELDS

       Deepeeka's Linen and Hide-covered shields are now much improved and are acceptable for use.  But at the moment they only come pre-painted, so if you want your own emblem you need to repaint.  Since it must be assumed that casein or milk paints will not adhere to the existing paint, this is still a problem for Legio XX members.  Deepeeka claims to offer any of their shields as unpainted "blanks", but it is not known if this includes boss and rim.  Check price and availability with the vendors above.

Soul of the Warrior--South Carolina, 843-437-5587,  http://www.SouloftheWarrior.com.  Offers their own shield which looks quite good.

Real Milk Paint Company, http://www.realmilkpaint.com 

La Wren's Nest, see General section, above.  BELT PARTS BY DEEPEEKA.  Smaller buckle is great, good pugio frog (remember to get 2!), and decent terminals, all VERY cheap!  The "RGZM" plates are not necessarily bad, but cast and heavy, and other parts are better avoided.

Albion Armorers, see General section, above.  The rest of their belt parts are in their "Moat Sale".  It is not known if they will carry any belt parts after these are sold off.

Raymond's Quiet Press--Ray Moseley, PO Box 27672, Albuquerque, NM 87125, http://www.quietpress.com/ (see the "Roman Jewelry" section).  First century cast buckles, pugio frogs, and plates, plus hamata hooks and studded satchel ring.  Also fabulous 4th century belt fittings.
