Patrick B. P. Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Here is one of my latest 1st Century Roman "Fulham" Gladius and Scabbards. Made to historical measurements and materials. Everything is created by hand right here in my shop. 1075 High Carbon Steel Fully tanged and peened hilt. Inset Brass Guard Plate and Pommel Finial. The guard grip and pommel are hand carved in European Boxwood (Bauxwood). The scabbard has Veg-tanned leather over wood core. All of the metal pieces are brass. I create the historically accurate repousse~ raised and chased Locket Plates. The Chape is Repousse~ with cut-aways. The Suspension rings and Chape Finial are cast in brass with the lost wax process. The Guard plate is also engraved to personalize the piece for my client. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEzell Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Excellent work sir! George Ezell, bladesmith" How much useful knowledge is lost by the scattered forms in which it is ushered to the world! How many solitary students spend half their lives in making discoveries which had been perfected a century before their time, for want of a condensed exhibition of what is known."Buffonview some of my work RelicForge on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewBerry Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Wow! Beautiful. Are the panels on the scabbard done with reposse or pres blech? They’re great. I’d love to see a closer shot of the whole handle. www.hopkinsforge.com hopkinsforge.blogspot.com heisenblade.deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
