Yes, I do. Take a look at this file in the ACCESSORIES section of my
SCA Rialto Files:
chasity-belts-msg (14K) 2/ 8/96 Chasity belts in the Middle Ages.
------------
There is also this book (excerpt from the file)
The Girdle of Chasity, A History of the Chasity Belt. by Dr. Erie
John Dingwall, ISBN 1-56619-031-2 Dorset Press 1992.
about 168 pages. It does include footnotes and photographs. Most
of the surviving devices appear to be late in period, but the author
details a number of contemporary reports many dating to earlier times.
A lot of the book deals with the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries as
well as medieval times.
-------------------
This excerpt is from a message from me and I have the book around somewhere.

An excellant idea. :-)
For those interested, take a look at this file in the HOME, SWEET HOME
section:
keys-locks-msg (18K) 9/29/94 Medieval keys and locks.
For period smithing, take a look at the blacksmithing files in the CRAFTS
section.
