Pompeii Gladius and Scabbard - Work in Progress

[sulla felix]

Barry, on the subject of forming the terminal knob (perhaps 'cup' might be a better term) most of those I have seen or have seen pictures of seem to have a horizontal rib embossed around the top on the cup. However, one of the examples from Vindonissa has a narrow metal (round or 'D' section) ring attached to the top of the cup in place of the apparently normal embossed ring. If you were to do this, forming the terminal might be a little easier than trying to emboss this part.

Thanks Frater, I'll see what I can do!
