Leonidas,
Gioi is right, the falcata is based on a find from Spain. I've never seen an example of the kopis he showed, with a complete knuckle-bow guard.
Deepeeka do a reasonable Kopis.
As to the Aspis ("Hoplon" is a general term for arms and armour - hence "Panoplia" - full set of arms ), I'd say either build it yourself or wait until Syndicate Armoury bring theirs out. Building one is not difficult - I did it and all I've got going for me is persistence!
