Yep, sorry to hijack this earlier! Great work Andy, and likewise, looking forward to seeing the finished article!

Beautiful!
I think that the tip perhaps should have been more 'pointy', like that of the Mainz type, which derived from the Hispaniensis. Just my opinion. 8)

Yeah, I see what you're saying Aitor. Make the taper more angular instead of gradual.

I've been looking for the drawings we made for the paper on the Azucarera hoard (only onesword tip suvived), but I haven't got any of them scanned...

Yeah, here's a pic of Matt Amt's hispaniensis blade from Mark Morrow. I think Andy that you need to make the tip of yours a bit more pronounced. But really, you did a stupendous job.

Thanks for the compliments on this piece. It was a challenge tho crafting something where I do not have much material to base it on, only mostly others re-productions and a few pics here and there.
I do agree now with the point of the blade.
Thank you and most appreciated
Andy
