Item Details
Description
Overall length: 32”. Blade length: 26 3/8”. Plain blade with a single narrow fuller near the spine. Brass hilt with a single-branched guard having an interior diamond embellishment. Small turned-down pendulous quillon. Plain, thin knuckle bow leads to a folky rendition of an eagle’s head pommel. The lower ferrule is brass, as is the upper ferrule. Carved, vertically reeded bone grip. Brass-mounted leather scabbard with incised decoration to the body. CONDITION: blade retains a good polish but seems to have gold paint in the fuller. Hilt is a bit misshaped but remains quite solid with a deep mustard patina. Top ferrule has come apart at the seam. Grip has a few tight age cracks from drying. Scabbard mounts have a matching mustard patina. The leather body is a bit floppy and crazed, but complete. (02-22671/BF). $2,000-2,800.
