Here are a few photos of a couple of repro Type 1 Sarmatian/Chinese swords. Basically, I followed the illustrations found on the Orlat placque.

One sword was made with carbon steel, the other with folded steel. The fixtures match 1st century examples found in the Pontic and Crimean regions. The other day, I was showing one of these swords to my grandson Devyn; I picked up a sheet of paper and cut it clean with a quick swipe. This must be why the ancients invented armor! :whistle:
