accurate 5th c. spatha reproduction

[Theodosius the Great]

Are there any deepeeka swords with decent blad shapes that i could put a new hilt and grip on?

I'm re-hilting DPKA's 'Frankish sword' here : http://www.kultofathena.com/product~ite ... +Sword.htm

The blade is very heavy though. It feels more like swinging an axe (!).
It's just for looks anyway, so I don't care.

BTW, if you need more ideas you may want to read this thread :

Good luck.
