Obmann's dissertation gives a very good view on roman daggers. I was given the opportunity to provide him with all the Dutch material. Recently a lot of new roman daggers were discovered along some Rhineforts in the Netherlands. I hope they will be published in the near future.<br>
In the past I have made several daggers including the leeuwen dagger and Velsendagger form the netherlands, and this type. Its very difficult to make and they are very expensive. The best is to try yourselves. Nowadays I have found a metalshop that uses laser for cutting iron. They can also engrave with laser. That will bring down the time-consuming work. The bronze and silver can be hammered in. For the enamel you will need an oven.<br>
good luck,<br>
