Gladius historical swords are detailed representations of the swords of famous historical figures. While in some cases the exact design of the original sword is lost in time, in other cases the original survives and used in design features. Blades are normally of highly polished 420C stainless steel construction, tempered to 45-50 HRC. They are un-edged for safety and often feature elaborate gold or silver-filled engravings. The guards and pommels are metal castings, typically incorporating exquisite detailing appropriate to the history of the sword. Most models are available in a selection of hilt finishes, some making extensive use of precious metal plating. These swords are suitable for costuming, decoration and collection only. They are not intended for cutting or striking against other objects. Bound Leather Handle.
