[Ansteorra] metal lamellar scales WTB

[John]

It really depends on which plates you use and your body size.  Smaller 
plates like the Wisby ones will need more to complete the look.  Master 
Andrixos's are larger and based on those found in the Steppes region of 
Asia.  Possibly a copy of the Birka plates. 

http://ask-vikingekampgruppe.dk/uk0017.html  has a pretty good 
description of the sizing and how to put together a set.  Check online 
for some of the Russian reenactors websites for some really good looks 
that will fit for the 1100's to the 1300's.  Current scholars are 
suggesting that both sets of plates come from somewhere in Asia and 
worked there way up North.
