Late Roman Spatha- Pattern welded blade

[markusaurelius]

Here are the final pieces all assembled. They have been laid out "staged" on the scabbard and are as yet unattached. The next step will be to make the scabbard complete by dying it with a natural dye (Alkanet root) and lineseed oil. The covering it with a beeswax to seal it all up. Parts will then be assembled.

Baldric of some type may also need to be constructed, but I may wait on that.

I'm happy with it thus far. May not want to part with it :-)
