I absolutely love the pompeii gladius blade there! Neat scabbard too!

How is the balance and weight on one of those swords Lee?

Neither blade feels heavy, and the balance of both feels about the same. I chose the Guttmann design for its reinforced tip. Many roman swords with such a tip reinforcement have been found.

Very nice Lee. Although I have a very fond spot for Albion's MK I Pompeii gladius...

Beautiful sword(s). Thanks for posting the picture. Very nice scabbards too. Christian has been doing some amazing work lately.
