It is finished
The scales took a while to do, to obtain the right thickness for the hand. Also blued the metal fittings, which I think has worked out nicely. The scabbard next, once I have the wood core made, is what about the fittings 
and how it should hang. Straight down the leg or at a angle. The book I have with it in shows a cavalry man using this type sword, with a scabbard on the right ( which seems to be straight ). With a date of 1st - 2nd AD gives me a context of options for fittings, should it be left plain basic rings for baldric and guttering part or full, or the option to add decorative plates ect. I have a feeling it would have some decoration on it. So any thoughts would be welcome All I can say is it is a brute, the feel in the hand would show no mercy and would also lend its hand as a infantry weapon.
