Functional but could be presented better This piece is a great functional piece of kit at a fairly reasonable price,where I and those who I showed it to felt it could improve however was in some of presentation of it,the overall feeling of at least the one I recieved was pretty rough

The piece i recieved had for some reason been painted over with a fairly mucky brown paint and the holes through which the string goes were also a bit rough,some of the leather on one side also had some slight scarring and bits gouged out (possibly from transit?)

This being said we've decided to glue a nice layer of material and paint it to pretty it up a bit and it remains a functional and good accessory for re-enactment

LeatherSkin Love this piece, as pretty as the picture, in fact I'm fairly sure I now own the picture you're looking at, really authentic looking, goes well with my other Viking age gear.

Note from MFC: They must just look similar, which given the process is highly possible.
