Hi Ulfic,
This drawing was publicised in an old book on the finds at Augsburg, Germany, dated 16 AD, Roman context. Christian Koepfer just sent me copies of some plates from the book and I sent a drawing to Sander to determine whether this was the type of knife he wanted. The finds are currently being redescribed, the information in that old book is very scetchy at best, so I based the replica on just this drawing, which had a scale indication 1:2. You can take the given measurement of the blade as a reference, should you want to make one. You could also wait for the book to be published end of this year, I suppose. I am looking forward to its publication, as there are several diffent kinds of knives decribed. I currently have two replica's from Augsburg in stock, these were loanitems to the project, both ring-handled with horn plates and a curved blade.
Send me a PM and I could send you some pictures, be sure to include a regular e-mail adress in the PM for me to mail you the pictures.
