First century cavalry spatha

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

Hello,

That's my new first century cavalry spatha:





As you can see, the blade shape is not paralel sided. I have search in Miks book, and there are some spatha with a shape close to the used by me (A 377, A 638, for put only two exemples)

The locket is a Pompei stile one. I have used a deepeeka, with some modifications. The chape is made by me.

The blade is a medieval sword by Hanwei. I think is well made, and sharp, but i think the sharpening is not well made.

That certainly is looking good, Cesar.

Very nice Cesar.

What are the dimensions of the blade?
