Show your gladius off!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a 3rd Century Roman Spatha I just completed for one of my clients.  There is a "Before" and "After" Picture of how I received it... and how it was presented to my client.

We discussed this hilt at length with various articles and research.  There was one minor change in the final hilt and that was in the layers of wood in the Pommel and the Guard.  We reduced the layers from 5" /> to 3.  

Using African Mahogany, White Holly, African Ebony and Brass to create this new Hilt.  Everything was created by hand.

This hilt has a total of 24 separate pieces.  

It is a joy for me as a craftsman, to come along side of a client and make their "Dream" or "Vision" come to pass.  They get a great "Personalized" sword that is unique to them as well as being as historically accurate as possible when it comes to the part that I play in it.

I can make complete 1st Century Roman Swords... or I can "Re-Hilt" your existing sword to something more historically accurate with historically accurate materials.

Keep in mind, If you feel that any part of this sword hilt is not historically accurate, that this is what the customer wanted and as a craftsman... I aim to please.

I have other woods and materials available to make your "Vision" come true if you are interested in commissioning a work.  My turn over time for most pieces is 3-4 week at present.  This one from start to finish (Once we agreed on the final work) was less than 2 weeks.   [img]<a href=[/img]" />
