Hey drimito! As the local resident expert in weapons and swords, I have something to ask you:
Do you know what kind of sword is this? My first instinct is that it's a Gladius, mostly because of the logo, but I've never seen one IRL. It's about a bit longer than 30cm in length, including the pommel, with a thin blade, and actually made in Spain.
This is not a sword, it’s a dagger! The “Gladius” label on the box is likely a brand of some sort and definitely not an indicator of what the weapon is, as a gladius sword is about twice as long — and traditionally, lacks a cross guard on the hilt or adorns, it was a weapon’s weapon, though you can find some gladii nowadays with small cross guards and other such gilding — as the blade you have in the photo.
Additionally, what caught my eye was the gilding on the weapon, from pommel to sigils: It’s meant to be a Knights Templar dagger specifically.
If you see a cross of gules over sable and argent, that is, a red cross over black and white, that’s Knights Templar. Dagger’s got it there by the hilt, alongside another one by the tip of the scabbard, gules over or — red on gold — by necessity of the material.
If the total length of your weapon of this type is something like 20 to 40 cms, that’s most likely a dagger.
