I was putting together a hoplite kit, and just don't have time for it. Included is the discontinued impossible to find windlass greek xiphos.I hought this 2nd hand and the previous owner didnt take care of her. she came to me with a few nicks in the edge ( see pics). I sharpened 1 edge to do some cutting and it is paper cutting sharp. I never cut anything with it. It has a nice mid rib the lenght of the blade, and a graceful wasp waisted blade.
Corinthian helm .... solid helm in the corinthian style. Cranium has good definition and shape. Weighs about 3-4 pounds. I also have a red Faux horsehair crest I was gonna mount on it.
Dory ... High carbon steel spearhead .... and old windlass model I have had for years. Never mounted, has some patina from handling and age. Brass Sarouter ( butt spike ) from KOA. Devastating weapon in its own right.+ shipping
Because of the used condition of the items, I am asking 125 USD.+ shipping CONUS

No that helm is not SCA legal. It is an indian made helm (albet a fairly nice one) and it probably 18ga steel. Even if it is "16ga" steel, chances are it started out at 16ga and after forming is now thinner.
