I had called my project ” Pugio from (Köln, Nijmegen, and Princeton )” I kept on the information given here http://www.romancoins.info/MilitaryEquipment-pugio.html
But Jurjen Draaisma corrected me that it is pugio from Princeton.
A year ago I saw this pugio Princeton model. I liked it very much ! I do not know why ..there is something in it ..!
And I decided to do it (аccording to my abilities and skills) of cours. As far as I know no one ever has re-constructed this model !?
Unfortunately, the image resolution is low and most details are not well visible.
If someone have a better quality pictures of this model !I'll be very grateful if he shared them with me,so I can do it with more detail. Of course it is very difficult to be imitate the genius of the ancient master.
Jurjen Draaisma share a good picture (for which I thank him) but it is not in enough details also.
The black color is obtained from the oxidation of iron because of the strong heating (to the red) in welding. I decided to leave it like this black. I polished only the brass parts. So like that I can get closer to the original .. I think !?
I have to say that without the help of my brother Jordan, I could not finish this project! He have knowledge in technology and materials in which I do not have so big experience.
