Medieval Arms

I am selling a very sturdy reproduction of this famous Roman sword, which was developed for use in the cavalry of the Roman empire.
Experts date its origin to the beginning of the 1st century. Later on it was also used by the infantry.

Our steel reproduction is in original size and its dimensions are similar to the so-called ?Straubing-Nydam? type of Spatha.
It is for decoration and role play.

These swords have blunt edges and for show purposes they are "battle worthy". Their blade is equipped with twin fullers making it particularly strong.

The black leather scabbard is covered with brass fittings including the 4 suspension rings (to be fixed to a leather belt).

Hilt and grip are made up from wood and bone parts looking like i vory.
The straight blade is 60 cms./24" long.
Total length of sword (blade in scabbard with brass furniture) is 89 cms/35".
Total weight : 1.8 kg (4 lbs.)
