dhuff said:Yes, please! One with a Mainz pattern blade, or what the Romans called a "gladius Hispaniensis." Here's a page from Legio XX on the gladius.
It'd have to be historically accurate, which shouldn't be too hard since the gladius was a pretty simple design. I've really been wanting one of these, but all I could find so far were made by Indian companies like Deepeeka or Windlass Steelcraft which don't seem to have a good reputation for quality.
See these guys if you're serious about a quality Gladius:

I favor this one, the Fulham. But they also make a Mainz & Pompeiian.
But of course, if Sher, Kumar or Bura hammered one out, I'd prefer it.
