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 3rd century.
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".
The red 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 bone parts looking like ivory.
The straight blade is 60 cms./24" long.
Total length of sword (blade in scabbard) is 89 cms/35".
Total weight : 1.8 kg (4 lbs.)
