Over the next year I'm going to flesh this thing out right, but for now I'm going to link you off the links I had Octavia set up.

I also want to make a public thank you for all the Good Gentles over at Armour Archive,...
My Armoury, ...
Sword Forum International,...
Kelticos,...
Arador Library,...
Barony of Sternfeld, (SCA)
and many others, from whom I gleaned all these links, and many more.
