Pugio sheath plate type A

[LVCIVS VVLPES]

Hi

thanks to all for the comments

Tarbicus

I'm interested in which parts you used the chisels for, and which parts the gravers?

the gravers for the lines and borders of the leafs(?), and the chisels for the interior of the leafs

Luc's sheath must stand as an example to all of us of what we should strive for.

Thanks Crispus, but that's to much honer :oops:

Titus Aetius

hope to see it in real life once!

you will, its for the new Oudenburg Museum

Magnus

Dare I ask how many hours that took?

it took me 40 hours from sheet this point

Could a similar pattern be done on deepeeka's new plain pugio pattern?

don't now, if the sheet is thick enough and you anneal it and make an proper anvil to work on than it will go
I used 2 mm pure iron sheet and annealed it to soften it

Gaius Julius Caesar

it almost looks CAD perfect

Thanks, well its looks like, but its far from perfect , the outer lines are drawn with a cut out picture of the original and the rest with compasses, square, bench rule and the free hand

That's not just a pugio sheath, my friend, that is ART.

that's how I see a pugio / pugio sheath ( in the end 1 BC on to 1 and 2 nd AD ), not only functional but a piece of ART, and valuable for the owner where a legionary could showoff his taste for beauty :wink:

Cheers

Luc
