Sarmatian (or Scythian) soldiers in the 1st century AD
#60
Great stuff Alanvs Big Grin ? Hmm this is a tricky one. This is a problem they are very few found. Even the one I have a pic of has no scale, So best bet is to think of balance and gauge the size from that and 30mm is too small.

I hope this gives you an idea of scale if I can find the size I will post Big Grin

Now this one is a disc pommel for the 4th AD it is aprox 45mm across and 25mm thick I will need to think of the blade thickness to be able to use it.
I agree with the use of Sarmation as it always denotes that they are more than one tribe involved but thats history for you.
For blade length yes It is worth a go at the size it is down to profile and again blade thickness Big Grin

The two middle ones are nearly 32" long 81cm Confusedhock: but you have to taper the blade to make it work or it becomes to blade heavy. Were as the far right is much thicker blade but only 27" ,69cm. When you do your blade please post pics and I will be in touch when I have info Big Grin
