Pugiones Information Needed
#1
Looking for information on the thicknesses of Pugiones?  I have gone through all of my research data and have not been able to find the tang, blade or mid-rib thicknesses.
Especially those that have the wide and contoured fullers that follow the outside shape of the blade?  I am trying to figure out how to make these without forging them but doing it with stock removal.

Any help that you can give me in these thicknesses would be greatly appreciated.  The ones that I have pictures or drawings of almost look like they would have to be thicker than a Gladius Sword.  But that doesn't make sense to me.

I also know that many of the Pugiones were made with three pieces of metal by boil-welding the metals together and the Mid-rid portion was the middle section and the Mid-rib already stood higher than the rest of the blade... 

Thank you... 
Patrick
