Maintz Pattern Gladius
Product information "Maintz Pattern Gladius"
The Roman Army´s approach to warfare was direct and pragmatic. It chose the Gladius as its principal sidearm because it was practical and efficient and excelled in any close combat situation. The early Gladius (our version is the Maintz pattern) was wasp waisted with a long point that combined cutting power and stabbing ability in one handy weapon. Later versions (we offer you the Pompeii) were not waisted and had a shorter point but were just as effective - and easier to make. Both swords served side-by-side for many years and it was not uncommon to find 4th century legionnaires carrying the earlier model. This is the sword that conquered most of the known world. Its blade is made of high carbon steel. The Maintz Pattern Gladius also features a faux ivory grip and ornate brass applications on the scabbard.

Sehr schönes Schwert, es kam schön scharf. Die Messingapplikationen sind meiner Meinung nach zu schnell hinüber. Aber alles in allem noch recht ansehnlich
