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.
