Hello,
I know i'm a little boring, all the day posting things about pugio, making a lot of questions about it, etc...
I'm actually making a pugio replica, and i want to share with you how i have make it. I think it can be of the generall interest.
It's a long post, with a lot of chapters, so I ask for clemency to the moderators :lol:
Let's go...
The first step is to choose a pugio to reproduce. I look for it at a well know book: Jürgen Obmann, studien zu römische Dolchscheiden des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr., Leidorf, 2000. It's a good catalogue about the scabbards, with some good drawings.
I go for a tipus B sheath, because it's plain and looks great and austere.
Then i have search a easy one. 8)
My choose was one sheath from Vindonissa: CH 5 (OBMANN 2000, 25, Tafel 18), ilustrated too at Bishop/ Coulston 1993, 77.
