I am offering this customized Albion Allectus Gladius,[ www.albion-swords.com] and scabbard. Specs- Overall length: 27.625" Blade length: 20.25" Blade width: 2.625" CoB: 4.125" Weight: 1 lb 11 oz
Also see pics here ; http://web.mac.com/jonbutcher2/iWeb/Site/AlbionCarr Custom Gladius.html
This particular Allectus Gladius has received a great deal of special attention from artisan Tom Carr , who engraved both sides of the blade. The new and improved Albion Allectus is quite a cutting machine in its own right, and the blade edge as shipped was the very definition of ' sharp'. Working from an image of a well preserved Roman Spatha [ from the Illerup Bog weapon find] with a rare engraving, that of a Roman god Mars in gold leaf, this custom gladius was so engraved. The Albion pommel was re-shaped with a small amount of weight removed alllowing for both greater improvement in handling and making cuts in combat drils. Also worth mentioning; this is a very sharp blade, if this matters you'll find this sword very effective in cutting.
The Maintz pattern scabbard has been aged and fits this blade perfectly. In all the Albion Gladius is the best made gladius production sword on the market. Please review the pictures and forward any questions you might have. Condition is excellent. Price: 600.00 Payment via US Postal MO or PayPal + 3.5% , usually no more than 18.00 including full insurance.
Please contact me directly with any questions you may have.
