Gladius discussion (was: show your gladius off)
#1
Hmmm - Nice as his work is, I think Mr Morrow is taking some liberties with pugio design. The sheath does not look right for the style of the blade, as it is a small version of a late second to mid third century style of sheath which is not contemporary with the sword or the dagger blade and does not look like any of the known types of first century AD frame sheaths. A handle of that style on a pugio should also look like a replacement for a lost one, not something it was designed to have.

I will put up a picture or two of my own sword as soon as I can get Photobucket to stop stalling on me.
