Even though it has a gladiator motiff, the head projects our exactly where it should to be a "wagon part". but let's face it, think how tempting it would be for a dealer to shove some rusty sword ballade into the orifice, converting a mundane wagon part to a "special purpose gladiator sword". Heck, it could have even been done in Roman times, though this doesn't change that fact that "sword" was made from a bronze wagon fitting.<br>
