I have what I think is a Windlass Pompei Gladius from the 1990s. It has all the hallmarks, triangular ricasso, steel gaurd plate, holly handle and darker hardwood fittings.
looking for 50 USD plus shipping, feel free to make offers.

It doesnt have a sharp edge, but the bevel is there and it can be easily sharpened. It has a full tang.

Dude it is a great deal. Buy it.
Here is a review.

Somebody buy it. Otherwise I have to and I won't wear it - just hang it around as a trophy from them stinkin' Romans.
