The reason I say feeble is that they are not made to any historical accuracy and they are made mostly in a crude manner due to the fact that I only have access to a large coarse belt sander, angle grinder and hand drill.
These are admittedly rough. None of the blades are hardened nor polished. I knew very little about making a sword and initially only wanted a display to go alongside my other display swords. Since then I have become more interested in historical accuracy and especially in Roman weaponry and tactics.
Anyway, at the risk of seeming totally incompetent, here are my models (as is and mostly unfinished as they need serious polishing)
