cheapest way to arm yourself

[Marcus Mummius]

Thanks Matt. I thought they were refering to the actual grip it self! :roll: :lol:

I know our very own Crispus has made a bone hilted gladius, and has used the same technique on the guard, ie sections of bone glued to gether. At least I assume that is what Jef is refering to too!

Indeed, Crispvs bone guard and pommel were made out of several pieces too, like the originals.

The bone parts on my Mainz gladius are made like this too. There are no bones that can easily be used to make these parts out of one piece.

Patrick, I can not scan at the moment, nor take pictures. I will get a new camera soon and then I can take some. Perhaps someone else can show a picture to explain.

Vale,
