Wow, great piece! Love the way you did the scabbard too. Was the sword based on any one find? It looks very similar in grip design to the Köln spatha.

It is not the reproduction of a specific repert,but all the reperts(grip,else,pommel,slade,point)are the reproduction of a repert that was find.In my opinion is good reproduct the complete reperts that are very rare(fulham,leiden,tiberio,guttman etc etc)but we have to remember that there are 1000 of reperts that are alone....elses,pommels,slides,pints...and they would like to have a new life.

I will be the happy owner and hope to see the piece for real very soon! Yes, it will be for a third c. impression. And of course I will look for a suitable place to put it on display, as it is so beautiful!

As Pierpaolo said, it is composed of pieces from various finds. I think the result is a very convincing and beautiful late spatha.

Thanks a lot, Pierpaolo.
