Wanted: Pilum and Scutum

[SpottyCat]

Hi everyone. Our little Roman group has been growing this year and we are looking to acquire two or three more shields and javelins. While I have seen some scuta out there on the interwebs, the cheaper ones all seem to be too curved compared to the ones we already have (and that a lot of the other groups we work with have). The ones that are less curved also seem to be much more expensive but I figured that there's a good chance that there are people out there in LH land that may even be making their own.

We are also after a couple of Pila that are consistent with the 1st Century CE but that don't also weigh loads, again ours a pretty heavy and other groups seem to have lighter ones.

If anyone could give me some pointers or contacts, I would be grateful as, since all of us have manic jobs, we are in the unfortunate position of having to buy as opposed to self-manufacture.

Thank you

SC
