Hi Caius,
Recently researchers like van Driel seem to be of the opinion that the caliga was out of service by that time AFAIK. besides the Vindolanda finds Crispvs mentioned above, you could e.g. look at the Bar Hill finds for inspiration, they should be good for around 130AD. You can see one example here.
Oh, and if you should go for a ring pommel sword, yuo should choose one without inlay on the pommel, those seem to be the ones that were around first from what I read.
