Thank you for the better pic. I'm afraid you might be right. I really don't want to make new plates especially replace 2 of them on mine that are really thick and in the middle of a lot of ring work. On another suit of Moro armor, I saw a plate with a slight wrap of brass that replaced the broken holes and connected the chainmaille. Again though, was this recently done or an original form of Moro repair?
