This is the one I made for my own display. Handle is boxwood. The brass ring may or may not be archeologicaly correct, as far as I know, no cautery has been found with such a ring, but a good few other tools have been. Send me a mail at r.p.wimmersAThotmail.com and I can send you some more pictures of iron pliers and things, I have a good deal of info on Roman medical tools. Do you have the Künzl book? That shows a lot of found implements. "Medizinische Instrumente aus Sepulkralfunden der römischen Kaiserzeit". If you do not, don't order it, as it is on sale here with a specialised publischer! I can send you a copy with your order for very little.
