Salve
Okay, according to Windlass.com:
That 'sword' looks NOTHING like the swords in the statue below...

I spent less than $30.00 and picked up a hardwood eagle's head cane for my Deepeeka gladius... not to boast but, I really think mine totally blows away the Windlass 'sword' and looks more like original statues with eagle's head swords below. To match the original statue above, I would have had to cut the handle twice as long and change the plates on the scabbard but... seriously, you could make this too. Just buy a quality sword from Deepeeka and change the handle and you're half way there.
