Quote:If the argumentation is the original cost, probably the original Fulham sword was more costous, because the repousse work is more elaborated and covers the whole piece.
Not to contradict you Cesar, but the Fulham scabbard wasn't done by repousse/ chasing, at least not as the primary means of production- it was die-stamped just like the Tiberius, so wasn't an expensive piece at all. Both are examples of what were probably fairly common weapons of the time.
