Description:

Measuring 34 1/4 inches overall. 29 5/8 inch curved single fuller blade, with a 4 inch long false edge, a field of niter blue covering the lower half, terminating in scroll designs, and gold accents around the spine and martial engraving. Brass hilt with a raised bust on the right languet, floral stamped rear quillion, an array of arms and flags on the knuckle guard, floral patterns on the grip section, ribbed mother of pearl panels and a lion head pommel. With a full brass sheath, engraved with floral designs on the suspension bands and down the exterior side of the body.

Rating Definition:

Good with some mild sharpening marks and spotting on the bright section of the blade, and 60% of the faded original blue and gold on the lower half. A fine aged patina is present on the hilt, darker in the protected areas with some bending in the grip area and minor chips of the pearl. Sheath is very good, with some dents.
