The standard in off the shelf gladii.  Even better now with a newly redesigned scabbard.  Inset brass, nice wood and bone handle, recessed nut hold it all together.  Overall a very nice piece.  No ricasso, inset brass guard.  Dark hardwood furniture.  Solid TANG!  See the picture page by clicking on the sword for the new TANG pictures!  tons of new pictures of the latest iteration.  Probably the most perfect off the shelf sword anyone makes in mass production!
