[Ansteorra] Marking your property

[Suzi Moore]

It did happen to me. My husband very proudly made me a belt in my  
favorite color-green with gold medallions. After the third person  
asked, we dyed it black.  I personally think badges would be a more  
period solution.
And too, I wouldn't have to stress over getting red dye out of light  
tunics.
