Roman Dagger totally restored to original beauty...amazing!

This blew my socks off! Seems 1st century weapon found by a 19 year old was a gem!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/roman-dagger-restored-germany-145411683.html

A 2,000-year-old Roman dagger that was unearthed by a teenager on work experience has been spectacularly restored to its former glory.

The ancient weapon is thought to have been used during a battle by a soldier from the Roman legion fighting a Germanic tribe in the 1st century.


It was discovered by 19-year-old Nico Calman in a trench at a burial ground in Haltern am See, near Munster, in north-west Germany, last year.

I saw this the other day.  What a beautiful pugio!  And we now know that belt plates could go all the way around the belt.
