Iron dagger/sword
Vladislav D:
If anyone can help me with this iron dagger/sword here or recommend the appropriate forum. Not sure what it is . It is similar in appearance to the Roman dagger pugio , but without the riveted hilt. Presumably found in Ukraine.
Weight - 495,0 grams.
Length - 38,5 cm.
Thanks in advance .

I bought several confirmed to be genuine akinaks from this guy. So I hope that and this blade is ancient :) . It appears to have been some kind of restoration/conservation work done . It is coated with some substance that leaves a black residue on your hands if you holding blade too long . The seller said that it is coated with microwax.
Best Regards

Can we see the side of the pommel? It looks like a Deepeeka pugio replica

I believe Deepeeka replica have two piece handle . But I don’t know for sure, maybe only those that I saw in image search :)
