Hi!
I'm also interested in making a mid republican impression, from the times of the second punic wars. There are other options from the Spanish store Armillum (whose owner and artisan is involved in a SPW reenactment group):
- Scutum: http://www.armillum.com/product.php?id_product=421 Made by him, I think it's a lot better than the Deepeka one.
- Gladius: made for Armillum by DSC http://www.armillum.com/product.php?id_product=282 (on how DSC made the sword with his advise: http://www.mambri.com/CosasArmillum/hispaniensis.html ).
I haven't bought anything yet, but i'm considering all the options. How is the DSC Montefortino? It looks really good, but I've read is too big, like the first Deepeka Montefortinos.
