I am fan of all things Rome.
I am fan of all things Rome so had to add the M48 Gladius to my collection. The weapon is beautiful but it's way too heavy coming in at about 3.4 lbs. Now according to info a weight of 1.6-2.2 lbs is more the norm based on historian's research on the subject. I also possess a Honshu gladius which comes in at a much more realistic 1.7 lbs (beautiful as well but the hilt and scabbard on this weapon could use a little work though). However, I have no complaints with the customer service at Budk...keep up the good work!
