There are? I haven't seen any originals, so if you can point me towards one, I'd love to see it. The one exception may be the Leeuwen pugio, which I seem to recall being (oddly) something like brass-plated iron. I'm sure Crispus will straighten me out if I've gotten that wrong!

Mind you, there are LOTS of reproductions with cast brass or bronze hilts! I think they're all wrong. And they always get the shape of the center swell wrong, too...

Vale,

Matthew
