A ger-man indeed. (Ger=spear, man=well...you know)

This year, I'm taking the re-enactment to a new level. Historical accuracy is more important, and several (yes, alas. Well, not for you lot, you just sit back and enjoy, dontcha? ;) ) time-periods are chosen to portray. (3 in total...)

This has to do with some contacts and invitations to participate in projects. But I'm getting ahead of things here. Suffice to say, I know what I'm doing. I also hope to help in school history classes.

This here is my Germanic man 4th-6th century A.D. get up. I'll be participating in Wironii tribe events. (Early Frisians)

Shield, shoes and tunic made by Wironii captain Maginhard, necklace, fibula, spear, belt etc. by me. Spear-head, shaft cap, trousers, beads and shiel boss from Celtic Webmerchant. (International Webshop)

I buy most of my stuff there.

Farath well!

Yes, quite. Well, I guess it's because there are Celts among my ancestors. That's why I'm also a volunteer in an Iron Age Germano-Celtic village. I fit quite well there. ;)
