I seem to have gotten involved in the design of a new sword

and I am most nervous about the whole thing. While it is still evolving and I haven't received permission to put the exchanged emails up on the forum, you may be interested in seeing what has evolved to date. Please go here: http://swordforum.com/forums/showfl...ber=38853&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&part=all
and read the thread. It is still growing and I hope to have my sketch posted soon, along with the specs. But I am trying to tell the other two persons that I am not a sword designer, that all that I did was to do an artistic impression of an Angus McBride historical recreation that was based upon the find illustrated in the Bishop and Coulston book, the illustration now posted in the thread since the book is out of print and unavailable. They really need to have someone who is a real expert on gladii take a look and do a critique. HELP!
 
This sounds like a VERY exciting project Hugh!

While gladii of any form are far before my period of study, I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops, please keep us posted.

(I could go over to SFI I suppose, but their software drives me nuts!)
:D
