well, I have one in my collection, and it is much better than many of the others on the market. The blade needs a bit of work, if you want it sharp, and you may find it slightly cheaper at some of the various retail shops.

Deepeeka's #3264E Pugio Embossed is no longer on the "acceptable" list, unfortunately. The method of decorating the scabbard by riveting 4 incised brass plates to the front is not found on any known original. There are other minor problems (like the Brass Beaded version), but that is the fatal flaw.
