Ed, reached this conclusion myself a while back. In period artwork, they appear to be pretty convex, but it bothered me for a long time that when I actually made them I thought it didn't look right to my eye despite being what period depictions seemed to show ( perhaps the result of seeing a 2D depiction of something in 3D ). I shallowed them out a few years back. I'd be happy to replace them for you, no charge.

Al, I can’t remember what year I picked up my rondels from you, but I love them! I can’t count the number of compliments I’ve received over the years and I always point them in your direction.
I was in an SCA tournament in 2012 and a “hold” was called when my opponent wacked a rondel and sent it flying. The marshal seemed very concerned until I proved that it was “armour bling” and the fight could continue without it. ;D

(New silly rule for us considering the rest of your kit can be as described as above.)

Too many people wearing sneakers, I assume?

Yes. The white shoes, plastic, and nylon were a bit much. Not to mention the Nike swoosh is not documentable to any SCA period! ;)

Now when you say period, do you mean period period or look period

Ha! :)
I meant any period within the SCA’s huge range of 1,000 years from approximately 600 AD to 1600 AD. For example, my favorite period is 1350-1375 in southern England / northern France.

That is a very generous offer, my friend! I'll let you know. Right now they're not really bothering me too much. I might combine that with something else, down the line.
