Is the baldric your own design? I like your background - your Coptic tunic. The scabbard plates look very nice, and so does the entire sword. Luckily the new swords do not have that problem, so I do not have to do much work on mine, even though I do like projects.
Mike,
Since you modified the tip of your gladius, I am guessing that it is the Centurion ( Magnus ). Am I right? From your Augustan scutum, I am guessing you reenact an earlier period than I do.
The Baldric is the SOTW one. I just bought it this year.
I also have a Deepeeka Late Roman Spatha (which I got for free). I plan to re-do the Deepeeka sword ASAP (because to be frank their "Late Late Roman Sword" is terrible, it never got an N-Series revamp). I don't have an angle grinder to fix the blade with, but I plan on taking the whole hilt off and turning it into a simple hilt, like a Feltwell. I don't have the skill to do the scabbard, I'm just going to superglue the slider back in place and put some leather ties around it.

Having read Miks, I do believe the point is still slightly too long for even those examples. Thanks for the comment though.
