The Spatha was developed from the Sassanian Swords of the 3rd century and the Roman swords of the 1st-2nd centuries AD.

The "Feltwell Spatha" possess a hexagonal (in hindsight I should have had Gagan make it a shallow fuller) Illerup-Whyl type blade and a Germanic Type-I handle, which makes it ideal for the Early 4th through Early 5th centuries AD. The scabbard chape, slider, and mouthband are also consistent with this time period.

So in short: yes.

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean-- can you explain- let me see what I can still do.
Pictures would be nice
