Martin the last one of these swords I handled was utter junk. The metal is some form of cheap potmetal. I wouldnt even consider buying one to use for another project.

I wanna know what people think of the ornamented pieces on this sword. Do they look alright too you all. I was wondering if you think they could be used on a custom made scabbard for a albion next generation gladius or spathae.
Just want opinions!

The "ornamented pieces" are made of cheap pot metal (cast zinc, I believe), as is the rest of the sword.
