pictures ive seen seem to show a fuller on it, but ive never seen or heard of a roman gladius with a fuller, and a high end living history group has been adamant about them being innacurate, so will we ever see a change in th eproduct? for me the only thing keeping me from ordering one of them is the fuller issue, if someone shows me evidenc eof roman swords having them, then i will reconsider my purchase, im just wondering why something so unnecessary and unhistorical would be used, especially since the similar pompeii has no fuller.

Yo, frup. I don't know about the older model but the new one supposedly doesn't have a fuller. Quote from Imperial weapons description for this blade. "The blade is flat. That is not a fuller in the picture. The blade is flat then tapers to the edge". Heres a link to the page: www.imperialweapons.com/swords/Gen2/IP-023.htmlHaving said that, in my opinon this sword is still far from historically accurate. As far as historical groups or what not I have no experience with what they accept. I own the old model Gen2 pompeii and it's a great sword , solid, well built and functional to the max but I wouldn't call it historically accurate either. In the end it depends on what you want the sword for. regards, Ric
