(click on above images for larger versions)

Late 2024 edition of the classic Legacy Arms/Gen2 Mainz gladius 1.0. Originally made in the Philippines, the new Legacy Arms swords are premium models made by Hanwei in China. These leaf-shaped / wasp-waisted blades are from the (pre-Caesar) Roman Republic. The double edged blade is +2 damage sharp, and the needle tip will punch right through the shield (and armor) of the fiercest Thracian. The hilt is smoothly carved hardwood, the guard and scabbard fittings stainless steel. Comes with a sturdy wood-core sewn leather wrapped scabbard. Mean little Italian guys conquered a large part of Europe, Asia, and Africa with these in hand.
