I was reading the new Bishop & Coulston book and was wondering if anybody had any actual photos of the pugio on page 86 "Alleriot". Big Grin It appears from the B&C drawing that it was a beautiful pugio scabbard one that I would like to be reconstructed. However, since it is only a scetch in the book no details of materials or colors can be made.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you

Paolo

Go here for details, with a line drawing and a colour photo, if you read French, here if you don't.

That is a nice pugio!
