Item Details
Description
Overall length: 37”. Blade length: 30 5/8”. Blade has a single wide fuller with vestiges of gold-highlighted etching on a blued field over the first 15 1/2".

Crossguard, with downturned quillon, and the knuckle bow are quite plain. The backstrap is also plain but leads to a very well-articulated eagle head pommel. Carved bone grip with a 2” section on one side having a dark epoxy repair. Brass-mounted leather scabbard. CONDITION: blade has a dark, mottled patina with only traces of gilding and bluing remaining. Crossguard is slightly bent. Repaired grip. Scabbard remains quite solid with minimal flaking and flexing. (02-22348/BF). $500-750.
