Finally recieved my Titelberg pugio last month, by E. Konig.
I am happy with the item, and hope you find it an interesting piece too.
I have recieved a few questions about the suspension ring layout.
Your opinions would be welcome! 8-)

When we look at the ring system of this pugio it most certainly has to be worn on the left side.

For some reason, I can't edit the first post, which I think allows me to edit the title... :-?

I find it strange that the decoration is only on the lower cross hanger of the scabbard which makes one ask the question why not also the upper cross hanger.

In the report, the upper section wraps around thscabbard, and is not broken on the opposite side,
the lower hanger, the opposite side to the intact ring is broke, which I imagine is the basis for the reconstruction drawing with 4 rings.

I am guessing, the top one is a repair. Leaves the question as to why repair it with only one ring mount though....

It's quite light, and smaller than some models I've held.
