Sword is from an old estate and is 25" overall with 16.25" single edge steel blade with strong parallel cross graining and medium sharpness. The way the blade is set into the crossguard and handle, it may be a replacement blade. The handle and scabbard are made of sheet bronze and are both embellished with range of colored glass beads. Some design is applied and some are hand tooled. The stylized fish hanger of scabbard has 2 rings for a hanger. the interior of the scabbard has wood that looks relatively fresh. End of scabbard has dent near tip on one side. The grip feel is surprising comfortable. The sword is very dusty and will cleanup well. We're dating this sword as early as 1890 to 1930 time period but it may be older.

Please be aware of this when attending an auction.
Due to the element of Third Party Auctions and the reliability/unreliability of technical issues, we reserve the right to end an auction early or extend an auction as we see fit. We value our customers, both buyers and sellers, and try very hard to ensure an exciting, smooth, successful auction! We are happy and willing to work with you under any circumstances.
