Hi Celer,

Here are two images from the 'Spoils of Victory' catalogue that might interest you.

Could you please let me know the bibliographical details of that catalog?

TIA!

Salve,

Yup, I would recognise that mustache at 100 yards.

Martin, the biographical details for the cataloger are: ISBN87-7602-006-1 (2003).

It is currently at a ridiculous price of about 5 Euros. It will cost more to send it than to buy it, and at 450 pages with stacks of colour photographs it would be worth it at ten times the price. Contact the Museum shop at the National Museum of Denmark.

Vale,

Celer.

that one's really beautiful imho. Anyone know how accurate it is? Only ringpommels I've seen so far are the ones in Bishop and Coulston.

I also gave Aitor this sword for his group last year a 4AD infantry sword. thanks again everyone Regards Brennivs

4 AD? 4th c. AD?

I think I saw one of your swords at Lunt, as your 'client was showing a couple off! There is no 'drooling' emoticon!

Sorry Vortigern I ment 4th century AD.Gaivs I am glad you liked the sword, I also know Brian who made your lorica good friend of mine.

[brennivs - tony drake]

Cinna the ring pommel is roughly copied from a one found at Bodensee as is the cross guard.The blade as far as I am aware ,are not pattern welded on Sarmation swords, and the blades I have looked at the cross section are curved except a single edged sword from Denklingen; and a one with a mid-rib from Steinamanger; which is the one I copied with the bone handle .Also the blade looks more of a Roman shape. The scabbard does not have any ribs down the centre,the top piece I have not come across :?: the slide is from Vimose ,and the chape I have also never seen: except for examples from 200-235 AD but with out the inlay. I can say it is a beautiful sword and the maker is a excellent craftsman but I think the sword is to well made compared to the originals.I hope this is of some help. Regards Brennivs

That 4th century AD blade is a beauty. Great work.
