This ‘’Munitions Grade” item is not up to our normal high standards. Munitions grade items will typically have various bends or twists in the blades, basically rendering them as 2nds quality. These items are still a great choice for collecting and re-enacting and functional pieces will still be functional. Please keep this in mind when ordering.
This Roman Mainz Gladius has a blade forged from EN45 high carbon steel; the hilt is carved wood paired with a contoured grip of bone. The tang is secured with a brass pommel nut and a brass guard plate is inlaid onto the top of the guard. A felt tab is fitted to the base of the blade to protect the hilt from contact with the scabbard - it can be removed if desired.
The companion scabbard has a core of wood and it is bound in stitched dark brown leather and extensive brass fittings and brass hanging rings which are based on period finds.
