Gents thoughts on this reproduction of a Pugio from Vindonissa.

I've had a look in Pugio-Gladius Brevis Est Saliola/Casprini but am struggling to locate the exact find it is based upon.

Many thanks for any advice

Try "Katalog der Militaria aus Vindonissa Militärische Funde" it may be in there somewhere...

Edit: The complete Vindonissa scabbard plate is in "Roman Military Equipment" Bishop & Coulston see No7 page 77 (first edition) a reasonable repro in detail though the original looks somewhat narrower too my eye.
