Ok, is the Roman calvary sword a spatha, spath, or now I see spartha?
And still, what about my pommel? I havent gotten any comments on whether that shape is acceptable.

Right, GJC, since you're farther away than when sticking with a gladius. :lol:

Pommel?? POMMEL?! What's a pommel? Who are you? What am I doing here? Oh, wait, I remember. Sorry, government worker...
It's a little blockish, I'd say. Cylindrical would be better. And a little rough but I'm assuming it's still in progress. Keep at it!

I have it sounded now, so it is a bit better. Its a flattened in shape now though, if that makes sense. Not completely round.
Might post a pic soon. Sorry they are so huge, my camera makes all pics mega huge. I guess it just shows detail better.
