Titelberg Pugio. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-05-2012
Finally recieved my Titelberg pugio last month, by E. Konig.
I am happy with the item, and hope you find it an interesting piece too.
I have recieved a few questions about the suspension ring layout.
Your opinions would be welcome! 8-)

Wow, wonderful piece
hock: ! Is it also sharp?
Re: Titleburgh Pugio. - PhilusEstilius - 08-06-2012
When we look at the ring system of this pugio it most certainly has to be worn on the left side.
Re: Titleburgh Pugio. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-06-2012
Thanks Brian. I havebeen giving it some thought.
Either that, or in the horizontal.
will be experimenting ths time home.

Maybe you edit the topic title for people using the search function... ^^

For some reason, I can't edit the first post, which I think allows me to edit the title... :-?

I think it is just sharp, but I haven't tried it with a finger yet! 8-)

I find it strange that the decoration is only on the lower cross hanger of the scabbard which makes one ask the question why not also the upper cross hanger.
Re: Titleburgh Pugio. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-07-2012
In the report, the upper section wraps around thscabbard, and is not broken on the opposite side,
the lower hanger, the opposite side to the intact ring is broke, which I imagine is the basis for the reconstruction drawing with 4 rings.
I am guessing, the top one is a repair. Leaves the question as to why repair it with only one ring mount though....

Gee, thanks Mod! :roll:
i don't suppose you could fix it, please? 8-)
EDIT: Never mind, this computer seems to allow me to do it!
Re: Titleburgh Pugio. - AMELIANVS - 08-08-2012
I definitely consider it as an interesting piece.Beautiful dagger!
Re: Titleburgh Pugio. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-08-2012
It's quite light, and smaller than some models I've held.
