Finally I have checked this gladius, and here some more informations
tot lenght 58,2 cm
blade l. 42,4 cm
blade w. near the hilt : 6,5 cm
blade w. in the middle: 4,2 cm
weight: around 450 gr, but i still have to weight it
two damages:
- hilt twisted in a critic point , where the metal is highly adzed
- tip of the point twisted in the last 3-4 mm.
inside the guard , I found some small fragments of a strange and suberose material ( putrid wood ?)
here some pics
