Another Great Auction 20th November
A collection of modern reproductions, comprising a Roman Imperial Italic Helmet, a gladius, and its scabbard.

Raised brass elements on the helmet’s skull segments and ear flaps form distinctive stylized “H” or geometric patterns. The gladius presents a polished steel blade with a carved hilt, possibly of wood or bone, and a spherical wooden pommel. Its scabbard is covered in bright red material, likely leather or faux leather, with ornate brass or bronze fittings at the throat, featuring two suspension rings, and a pointed chape.
