Hello Crispvs,
Interesting fact about the Leeuwen Pugio. Do you have a reference that suggests that the grip is iron covered in copper alloy?
I ask because I used to have very high resolution pictures (my external hardrive burned out and I lost everything) and if I recall
there was no visible evidence of this being the case. I think that even B&C 2 mention that the grips are copper alloy.
However, I would not be surprised since being quite thin in copper alloywould not be very strong but the same thickness iron/steel
is very strong compartively.
Is there any evidence suggesting how thick the copper alloy sheet covering is?
Cheers
