"How to" make a pugio

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

Thanks.

The artisan who mades it sure can make more blades. He's name is Jose Manuel Pastor. Mainly he makes iberian stuff, but he makes some roman items. He accepts custom work: helmets, blades, belts, scabbards. His speciality is the repousse, or embossing.

I have asked him for some pictures of his esplendid work. But he's very busy, as all the blacksmiths, and don't have sent yet.

I have put some posts here with his work:

-The horse plume of our optio Tibisius.
-Some Montefortinos of our republican impressions.
-The blade of present post.

He has made 2 blades for Hispaniensis (now i'm working in that project).

I will speak with him to ask prices, etc.
