Nice--like a Marshal's baton with a blade? Is that the idea?
My latin is antique, but in Greek, surely a parazoma is the wrap around the loins... was this a knife originally tucked into the sash? That might obviate the need for rings.
That said, I had no intention of building a parazonium... I built a 6th C BCE hoplite's sword with silver fittings.
I guess I should have posted on the Greek forum, but this heading does say "reconstruction"
