Looking at the pictures of the gladius when discovered and restored, thats a pretty (ahem) "comprehensive" restoration....... :roll:

Thanks for the link Mike. I was kind of shocked to see the sword. It’s the first time I’ve seen one similar to the one I first talked about in 2006.[attachment=1:18xxbr5g]<!-- ia1 IMG_0020 100.jpg<!-- ia1 [/attachment:18xxbr5g]

that is interesting. But a pompey?

I suspect that much of the restoration comes from the imagination of the curator. I think that the pommel is wrong.
