Akira Forge Hand Forged Spring Steel Roman Gladius Sword
£170.00
Hand-forged with high-quality spring steel. The Gladius needs no introduction.
The end cap of the sword is steel with a detailed picture of a Roman soldier and the eagle of Rome inside a temple. A second steel fitting is found in the upper half of the blade. At the scabbard throat is the last steel fitting depicting the meeting of Roman politicians. The two fittings at the beginning of the scabbard have a loop for a carrying string. The guard of the sword is oval and short but very heavy and durable. A pattern of leaves surrounds a picture of a horse and cart on each side of the guard. The handle of the sword is ribbed steel, one for each finger. The handle ends in a large pommel, heavily weighted to give the sword the proper balance. The bottom half of the pommel is a leaf pattern while the top part is the eagle of Rome. The pommel ends with an ornate point.
This is Gladius, the sword of the Roman Soldier. This sword was short and to the point.. This was the right hand of the power of Rome.
This sword is a beautiful reproduction of the Gladius. Great attention was paid to the detail of the scenes on the scabbard and handle. The blade is mirror finished and comes sharpened. This sword is perfect for collectors, theaters, and enthusiasts.
