Having handles the Auerberg one myself, I certainly vouch for your work, Luc. It's just gorgeous. I wish I had either the money to let you make me one, or the skill to make one myself. Well done!

Excellent work Luc! They are both every bit as good as your previous work.
I was wondering about the second one though, from the Forrer drawing. Your workmanship, of course, is excellent, but I was under the impression that the jury was still out on the authenticity of this piece. Is there now a secure provenance? If so I would be very keen to know more, as the piece is unique amongst recorded specimens.

Oh Yes. These are really beautifull.
Can you give us pictures in higher resolution ?
I would love to see all details of your craftmanship

Thanks Guys, it feels good to be back
Jurjen: - Yes, I like to work as close to the originals as possible, that give them the right feeling
Crispus: - I had the opportunity to handle and examine this sheath in person, its provenace based on a document should be Italy, the sheath is in the collection of the Louvre Museum, I am working on an article with the history and description of the sheath and the corrosion attached blade
For the Haltern/Auerberg pugio/sheath, there will be an article of the How to in the book of Christian’s Leg VIII experimental march
Cezary: - sure, pm an e-mail address
Cheers
