Product description

This spatha is based on material remains of various third-century original spathas excavated in Podlodów (Poland) in the region of Przeworsk culture. Several blades of the Podlodów type have been found along the Limes. They were presumably forged in Rome and spread throughout the empire by the Roman armies. This spatha has a fairly wide blade compared to the second century spathae, the blade has two fullers. It is presumably designed for close combat. This spatha is a great asset for collectors, with a beautiful wooden hilt that is decorated with brass rings in the grip, guard and pommel. The pommel is screwed. It is delivered including a luxurious red leather scabbard with a wooden core. The scabbard has a beautiful brass belt loop (for belts up to 5 cm wide) and brass decorations on the top and bottom. The scabbard is also decorated with strong black cord wrapped around the leather, this creates a beautiful authentic effect.
